Study of Great Bible Truths – Vol. 2 Lesson 17
Lesson 17:
The Doctrine of Sanctification
Not that we may be happy, Nor that we may get rid of our problems, BUT because God is holy, because we are God’s people, because Christ has died for us and purchased us with His blood. We do not belong to ourselves. We have no right to live a sinful life.

The Doctrine of Sanctification
(Being Declared Holy)
2. Sanctification is IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS. God looks at us in our sin and applies to us the righteousness of Christ and DECLARES US TO BE JUST.
Study of Great Bible Truths – Vol. 2 Lesson 15
Lesson 15: The Doctrine of Adoption
Justification leads to Adoption
a. We enjoy the present protection and consolation which only God alone can give.
b. We enjoy the provisions that He makes for His children (nothing can happen to us apart from Him. Hebrews 13:5
c. We receive fatherly chastisement–If we are children of God, He is determined to bring us to glory and if we will not listen to His leading and His teaching, He will chastise us because He loves us and because we are His children.
a. Galatians 4:4-5—When the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law-for this reason– ‘to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.’
In Regeneration we are given a new nature, we become partakers of the divine nature. We become new creations.
Adoption is a combination of justification and regeneration. It is the new creature in a new relationship to God–as a child of God.
Study of Great Bible Truths – Vol. 2 Lesson 14
This is the key to the Christian Faith, so make sure you have a good understanding of Justification by Faith. Please read all the scriptures associated with justification by faith as noted below.
5. Our faith does not constitute our righteousness. We look to Christ, not to ourselves, not to our faith. Our righteousness is ENTIRELY in the Lord Jesus Christ. Knowing that God has imputed (ascribed righteous to someone by virtue of a similar quality in another) Jesus Christ’s righteousness to us, we can be certain that all is well between.
Study of Great Bible Truths – Vol. 2 Lesson 13
This is the key to the Christian Faith, so make sure you have a good understanding of Justification by Faith. Please read all the scriptures associated with justification by faith as noted below.
Acts 13:39– And by Him all that believe are justified from all things, from which we could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Romans 3:20-28, Romans 4:5-7, Romans 5:1,9, Romans 8:30-39, 1 Corinthians 6:11,
Galatians 2:16– Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh will be justified.
Galatians 3:11 –But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.”
Romans 8:1– There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
6. We have nothing to do with our justification. It is entirely an act of God wherein He puts to our account the righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ.
