There is a huge difference between justification and sanctification. Justification is salvation from eternal death, whereas sanctification is the process of holiness.


The word holy is from the Greek word hagios. Some words used to define it are set apart, sanctified, and consecrated, along with pure and morally blameless. The fundamental qualities of holiness are separation, consecration and devotion to the service of God, sharing in His purity and abstaining from worldly defilement.

We are straying far from God's heart because we are so influenced by our society. In so many ways, the church has become a subculture rather than what we are called to be—a counterculture.



It's God's grace that forgives us of all our sins, saves us from eternal death, gives us an inheritance in heaven, makes us one with Christ and imparts His divine nature.
