[
1913 Webster ]
Sanctification involves more than a mere moral reformation of character ,
brought about by the power of the truth :
it is the work of the Holy Spirit bringing the whole nature more and more under the influences of the new gracious principles implanted in the soul in regeneration .
In other words ,
sanctification is the carrying on to perfection the work begun in regeneration ,
and it extends to the whole man (
Rom .
6 :
13 ;
2 Cor .
4 :
6 ;
Col .
3 :
10 ;
1 John 4 :
7 ;
1 Cor .
6 :
19 ).
It is the special office of the Holy Spirit in the plan of redemption to carry on this work (
1 Cor .
6 :
11 ;
2 Thess .
2 :
13 ).
Faith is instrumental in securing sanctification ,
inasmuch as it (
1 )
secures union to Christ (
Gal .
2 :
20 ),
and (
2 )
brings the believer into living contact with the truth ,
whereby he is led to yield obedience "
to the commands ,
trembling at the threatenings ,
and embracing the promises of God for this life and that which is to come ."
Perfect sanctification is not attainable in this life (
1 Kings 8 :
46 ;
Prov .
20 :
9 ;
Eccl .
7 :
20 ;
James 3 :
2 ;
1 John 1 :
8 ).
See Paul '
s account of himself in Rom .

Phil .

and 1 Tim .

also the confessions of David (
Ps .
19 :
12 ,
13 ;
51 ),
of Moses (
90 :
8 ),
of Job (
42 :
5 ,
6 ),
and of Daniel (
9 :
3 -
20 ). "
The more holy a man is ,
the more humble ,
self -
renouncing ,
self -
abhorring ,
and the more sensitive to every sin he becomes ,
and the more closely he clings to Christ .
The moral imperfections which cling to him he feels to be sins ,
which he laments and strives to overcome .
Believers find that their life is a constant warfare ,
and they need to take the kingdom of heaven by storm ,
and watch while they pray .
They are always subject to the constant chastisement of their Father '
s loving hand ,
which can only be designed to correct their imperfections and to confirm their graces .
And it has been notoriously the fact that the best Christians have been those who have been the least prone to claim the attainment of perfection for themselves .",
Hodge '
s Outlines .
