Attitudes For Sanctification

Attitudes For Sanctification Excerpt Sanctification begins with regeneration, the implanting of spiritual life in a believer. From that starting point sanctification is God’s progressively separating a believer from sin to Himself and transforming his total life experience toward holiness and purity. The process of sanctification for a believer never ends while he is on earth in his mortal body. It is consummated in glorification when that believer through death and resurrection or through the Rapture stands in the presence of God “conformed to the likeness of His Son” ( 8:29 ).

Some believe they were sisters, possibly even twins. Then Persis , addressed as my dear friend ( lit. , “the one loved” ), was another woman who has worked very hard ( “toiled much” ) in the Lord . Interestingly four women were said to have “worked hard” ( cf . Mary , v. 6 ). Whether Rufus is the same person mentioned in Mark 15:21 or not is uncertain. If so, then he, as a son of Simon of Cyrene, was a North African . Paul said Rufus was chosen in the Lord , a statement true of every believer ( cf . Eph. 1:4 ).
