Sanctification

I was away from my computer yesterday, so today we take up Romans 6-7 and Monday we will look at Romans 8. All three of these chapters deal with Sanctification, Paul's next main point in this letter. The best way to describe sanctification is to compare it with justification.
Romans 3:21-5:21............ Romans 6:1-8:39
JUSTIFICATION............... SANCTIFICATION
1. Saved from the penalty of sin... 1. Being saved from the power of sin.
2. Past Tense............................... 2. Present Tense.
3. Is a declarative act of God........ 3. Is a progressive act of God.
4. Positional Truth....................... 4. Practical Truth.
5. Our position in Christ............... 5. Putting into practice our position.
6. Saving faith.............................. 6. Practicing faith.
7. Gets us into heaven................. 7. Sanctification gets heaven into us.
8. End result of is salvation...... 8. End result is obedience and holiness.

Quotes:
"Holiness starts where justification finishes, and if holiness does not start, we have the right to suspect that justification never started either." [Donald Grey Barnhouse, Romans, vol.3]

"Salvation is not only a transaction, but a transformation..." [John MacArthur, Romans, vol.1]
