*Holy, When?*
*Acts 9:1-19 NIV*
Thesis - We are made holy partially, punctiliarly and progressively.
Sanctification Objective - To cause people to be holy.
Thus far in this series of messages we have determined the who and what of holiness.
This morning we need to consider the next question in the WH series - when?
When are we made holy or when are we sanctified?
While [holiness] is a fundamental doctrine of Christianity, and of vast importance to the church, there are few subjects in theology concerning which there is a greater variety of opinion.
All evangelical Christians hold that it is a Bible doctrine, that it includes freedom from sin, that it is accomplished through the merits of Christ's death, and that it is the heritage of those who are already believers.
They differ widely, however, as to its nature, and the time of its attainment.
-H.
Orton Wiley
[Some] believe that we are saved and sanctified all at once.
Others think we are saved and then begin the long process of growing into the experience of sanctification.
Some think we are sanctified just before death, and others believe glorification and sanctification are synonymous.
-Leslie Parrot
I believe that holiness commences in regeneration, is completed as an instantaneous work of the Holy Spirit subsequent to regeneration and continues to expand until glorification.
I want to consider these three aspects of holiness or sanctification in greater detail.
We'll begin with
I. Partial sanctification
A. “/Positional holiness /refers to our standing when we receive Jesus into our lives at conversion.
The Bible describes even new or immature believers as ‘saints’ (holy ones).”
