Sanctification
Because of our flesh sin remains a reality; however, through the spiritual disciplines of Bible study, prayer, worship, and confession, the Spirit causes us to grow in the knowledge of the Lord and in the ability to keep His commandments. This growing process will not be completed during our lifetime but will most assuredly be completed by God at the day of Christ Jesus. Because of the sure promise of God to preserve His people until the end, all true believers will persevere in the faith and endeavor to so live in the world that all people may see our good works and glorify our Father who is in heaven.
