What is God’s Part in Sanctification?
•2 Peter 1:3 “His
divine power has given us everything we need for life
and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his
own glory and goodness.” God provides the
means.
–If we don’t grow spiritually, it is not God’s fault.
–He provides the “means of grace” and means of growth—primarily
the Holy Spirit, the Church and the Bible.
•He both actively
moves to make us grow, and provides means to make us grow.
