Let's define Sanctification, holiness, piety, as simply Christlikeness, being like our Savior. Note that in the most basic of terms, salvation is going to heaven where God lives, and living with God for eternity. (I understand that in the end times, God will remake the heavens and the earth, and bring heaven to earth, but I think you understand my point.) Access to live with God is commonness of spiritual and moral character. We must be like God is if we are to live in God's presence. This means we must be holy. Simply put, sanctification is this present day process of being actually made holy in our daily lives in fulfillment of God's judicial proclamation that we are saints (justification). Please read my Key Controversial Points in Sanctification by David Cox.

34.11.01 Definition of Sanctification

Note that "perfectionism," "entire sanctification" are terms that usually indicate a Methodist-Holiness point of view. Probably the singular most famous presentation of this is John Wesley's book, "A Plain Account of Christian Perfection." See my "Key Controversial Points in Sanctification" for explanations of these different positions.

Also note that woven in this issue of Sanctification is another issue, and that is that if "Entire Sanctification" is possible before death, this side of glory, is it a second work of Grace. See DCox - Is Sanctification a Second work of Grace? here for my discussion of this.

Studies on "Sanctification"

34.11.01 A. Preliminary Thoughts about Sanctification

Our first thought is that according to verses like Mat 5:48 "be ye therefore perfect" and 1 Peter 1:16 "be ye holy", God's view of perfection and holiness (sanctification) is that it is something that God requires of every Christian, therefore it is a possibility that we can be holy and perfect. To separate this by defining holiness and perfection as sinless perfection, where a person NEVER MORE SINS, is to redefine Scripture to mean something that it does say, and to tangle us up in thoughts, reasoning, logics, and systems that we will never get out of.

Secondly there is a very difficult aspect of all of this that hinges on a present and future aspect of holiness. Once saved, we are then and there "holy" in God's terminology for us. Yet we understand that we still have sin in us (1 John 1:8-10), and that we will have sin in us until the day of our graduation to heaven. We are these things because we desire to be these things, and we strive with all our strength and heart to be what God wants us to be, and this is even though we sometimes fail (but such a holy person will never give up on the pursuit of holiness even though he fails often or horribly).

Thirdly sanctification, holiness, and Christian maturity (Perfection) has no secrets. There are no methods or secret mystical teachings that will get us there. Our definition of holiness should center on the earnest desire and strivings to be holy is what is holiness. This does not give acceptance to "giving up" or surrendering to sin. That is wrong and flies in the face of holiness. But the goal and strenuous efforts to reach that goal is what makes a person sanctified or holiness or perfect. The only thing that can really be considered a "secret" principle, or miraculous power to achieve this goal is our faith. Here faith is confidence in God, that he desires and will help us do what is God's will, and that God is actually working in me.

The misnomer of "Entire Sanctification" has an aspect of truth. When we speak of entire sanctification, what do we mean? That we are completely cleansed of all sin to be perfect like God or an angel in heaven? 1 John 1:8-10 faces us glaringly that we will not accomplish that here on earth. But in another aspect, sanctification and the holy fight against sin is "entire" in that we cannot hide pet sins in the closets of our heart. Everything is fair game, and anything that is acknowledged as sin must become a target to work on.

Anonymous - A Study in Sanctification Ch  5 "Growth in Grace" pdf htm
Berkhof - Systematic Theology Ch 22 "Sanctification & Perseverance"

POINT OF CONFUSION: Loss of Salvation= Unsuccessful Attempts at Holiness. Here I see people getting confused over sinning and thinking that they "lose their salvation". In reality, holiness (not sinning) is different from being saved to some degree. Salvation is based on faith in the Savior, and the reason why we are saved is not because we are "perfect" or obtain sinless perfection. The fact that the issue even has to be discussed or defended is a testimony to some groups who deal (incorrectly) with unrepentant sinners among their own. The issue is not without its merits, because this is a crucial dynamic in every religious group, members who live in a libertine way, the group wants to exclude them from "the redeemed". Most good groups (seeking to obey God) will exercise discipline against the individual who wantonly sins.

34.11.05 Christian Perfection (Spiritual Maturity)

Matthew 5:48 "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."

Technical Word Studies in Greek and Hebrew:
DCox - Christian Perfection in the Old Testament: Words and Verses.
DCox - Christian Perfection in the New Testament: Words and Verses.
DCox - Christian Perfection: Conclusions.

Christian Perfection - To define "Christian Perfection" is different to different people. The Holiness movement in general will define it as a miraculous event, an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on a person's life that is equal to salvation, thus the term "second work of grace" is often used by them for this emotional and spiritual event. To these "holiness" oriented Christians, holiness absolutely must be an emotional and moving experience rather than humble obedience. The Calvinist will see perfection (sinlessness before death) as an absolute impossibility, and therefore all talk, consideration, and above all, any hope of the same is futile and unbiblical. This opens a door for a light treatment and spiritless pursuit of holiness in many Calvinists.

Therefore I define Christian Perfection as a third option. Perfection is maturity and being like God the Father, following the example of Jesus Christ. This spiritual maturity (which is a more preferable translation of the term) is a matter of character. To be specific, our partaking of the character and attributes of God.

Ephesians 4:13 "Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:"

Jesus is the active and visible example in our lives, which we should follow and pattern ourselves after him. Being a mature and adult Christian takes on many aspects of character modification (improvement).

Web Pages

In general I hesitate to link to other pages on the Internet anymore. Quite frankly, whole websites disappear from time to time (which usually has really good stuff on it, stuff that is hard to find). More often specific pages get lost, get moved, or are deleted by their owners. So I would suggest that in general, Google the topic name, (especially use the following search)

Google Search Phrase: "keyword" intitle:"keyword" -amazon -ebay -ISBN -price -Bookstore

The reason I suggest this is that it will exclude sites that are not offering things online (except for pay) and the intitle Google term will help narrow the search.

Tom Stewart - An Urgent Call to Christian Perfection - A serious book on the subject.
