Today we're beginning the final week of the season of Lent and our 40-day exploration of "The Forgiving Challenge." The focus this week is on "Sanctification."
"Sanctification" means "the process of becoming holy." Sometimes people think that it's all about behaviors, but it's as much about the attitude that drives the behaviors. As the fifth unit in The Forgiving Challenge, we've waited until now to talk about behaviors because the Bible says that holiness is not the prerequisite for forgiveness and restoration (like, "you have to do things right in order to get God to forgive you") but it's the end result of everything God has done for you (like, "now that God has forgiven your sins and restored you to your rightful place in His love, here's how you can live as His child and heir"). We'll think about immigrants and athletes, and why "saint" isn't a word just for Christians who have died.

The Forgiving Challenge follows the acronym "S.C.A.R.S." Each week we've focused on the meaning behind one of these letters: "S" for "Sin" (week of March 6); "C" for "Confession" (week of March 13); "A" for "Absolution" (also known as Forgiveness; week of March 20); "R" for "Restoration" (week of March 27); and "S" for "Sanctification" (also known as Being Holy; week of April 3).
