Sanctification moves us from sin to holiness, and it makes us ready to do Gods will. Discipleship is a key part of sanctification. No one can be sanctified on their own. It's about getting closer to God and being conformed to his image. We have to submit the sanctification process. If we dont submit, it doesnt take place; and if were not in pursuit of sanctification, no one else will be. (Part 3 of 3)
