What is sanctification—and why does it so often feel slow, messy, and discouraging?

In this video, we walk through Question 75 of the Westminster Larger Catechism and unpack what it means that sanctification is a work of God’s grace in which we really do work as well. We’ll explore how God chose His people for holiness from before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4), how the Holy Spirit applies the death and resurrection of Christ to us, and how believers “more and more die to sin and rise to newness of life.”

We’ll also look at passages like Philippians 2:12–13, Ephesians 4:22–24, 2 Peter 1:5–7, and Hebrews 12:14 to see the synergistic nature of sanctification—God works in us, and therefore we actively pursue holiness, putting sin to death and walking in new obedience.

If you’ve ever wondered,

- “Why do I still struggle with the same sins?”

- “Is God actually changing me?”

- “How do God’s work and my effort fit together?”

…this video is for you.
