Moral relativism in its simplest terms holds that there are no absolute standards of right and wrong. Christian broadcaster John Ankerberg defines it this way: “Moral relativism is the philosophical theory or belief that there are no absolute or objective standards for moral values which are used to determine right and wrong. A moral relativist believes that there is no un-changing basis for moral values, therefore all moral values are only opinions and must have equal weight.” Ankerberg continues by stating that the main forms of moral relativism “deny the existence of moral absolutes or objective moral truths that apply to all people in all times. According to these…views, moral truths are determined either by personal opinion or group consensus.”

In its section on “Moral Relativism,” Wikipedia states: “Moral relativity is a philosophy that states there is no absolute Right or Wrong, and that anyone can freely use his own conscience to decide what is moral.”

A. Do you measure up to God’s high standards?

1. 2 Corinthians 13:5

2. Do not get discouraged if you are trying but fall short: keep trying.

3. But if you are not trying, or think little of sanctification or of other spiritual affairs, reflect on these statements of truth:

a. Hebrews 12:14

b. Revelation 21:27

c. Revelation 22:14

Sanctification is a Bible term often obscured by the theories of men.

1. The view is held by many that sanctification comes initially by a direct operation of the Holy Spirit in a miraculous and mysterious conversion process; some theorists allege that later the baptism of the Holy Spirit may be obtained, which puts the recipient beyond the possibility of committing sin of any kind.

2. This is not a scriptural view.

a. Peter had received Holy Spirit baptism, and yet he committed sin… Galatians 2:11-14

b. The apostle John likewise had obtained this baptism, but wrote that he and all saints are capable of sin… 1 John 1:6-10

c. No one in this life stands beyond the reach of temptation and disobedience… 1 Corinthians 10:12

B. This study will focus on learning what the Bible teaches on this significant subject.

1. We have no pet views to preach or defend; we are willing to take whatever the Bible teaches on this or any other subject, and abide with the truth.

2. With this sermon on sanctification our sincere aim is always to learn the will of God more perfectly, so that we can serve him more and better.

Take a walk with Steve and Greg as they scroll through Galations and how Paul ask people to "check themselves." Paul is upset and you can see and hear it in this letter. Justification that is basically what he is talking about and he wants you to understand it.
