Sanctification Bought, Sanctification Ought

Summary

The sermon explores the biblical concept of sanctification, distinguishing between 'sanctification bought'—the legal, positional sanctification accomplished by Jesus Christ for believers' eternal salvation—and 'sanctification ought,' which refers to the ethical and practical sanctification believers are called to pursue in their daily lives. The preacher emphasizes that sanctification means being set apart for God's service and holiness, and warns against confusing the two types, which could lead to a works-based salvation. The message encourages believers to live in obedience and holiness as a response to the sanctification Christ has already secured for them.
