Sanctification

View All Lessons

Those who are in Christ are heirs with Christ, and come from the seed of Abra- ham. It doesn’t matter whether you’re Jew or Gentile, we have a shared history. And yes, each child of God is given a new name—they bear the name of God. These, and many other compo- nents, come with belonging to God’s family or household. But there is more. God works through the gospel to re-create, in each of his children, the family likeness. He sends his Spirit to change believers, so that they look more and more like their elder brother, the Lord Jesus Christ. Well, this process of coming to share in the family likeness is called, Sanctification.
