Pastors Patrick Hines (Bridwell Heights Presbyterian Church in Kingsport, TN), Jim Thornton (Reformed Faith Presbyterian Church in Clarksville, TN) and Henry Johnson (Trinity Presbyterian Church in Tazwell, VA) discuss chapter 13 of the Westminster Confession of Faith "Of Sanctification." CHAP. XIII.—Of Sanctification. I. THEY, who are effectually called, and regenerated, having a new heart, and a new spirit created in them, are further sanctified, really and personally, through the virtue of Christ’s death and resurrection (1 Cor. 6:11; Acts 20:32 32 And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build `you' up, and to give `you' the inheritance among all them that are sanctified. ; Phil. 3:10; Rom. 6:5-6), by His Word and Spirit dwelling in them ( John 17:17 17 Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth. ; Eph. 5:26; 2 Thess. 2:13): the dominion of the whole body of sin is destroyed (Rom. 6:6, 14), and the several lusts thereof are more and more weakened and mortified (Gal. 4:24; Rom. 8:13); and they more and more quickened and strengthened in all saving graces (Col. 1:11; Eph. 3:16-19), to the practice of true holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord (2 Cor. 7:1; Heb. 12:14). II. This sanctification is throughout, in the whole man (1 Thess. 5:23); yet imperfect in this life, there abiding still some remnants of corruption in every part ( 1 John 1:10 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. ; Rom. 7:18, 23; Phil. 3:12); whence ariseth a continual and irreconcilable war, the flesh lusting against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh (Gal. 5:17; 1 Peter 2:11 11 Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lust, which war against the soul; ). III. In which war, although the remaining corruption, for a time, may much prevail (Rom. 7:23); yet, through the continual supply of strength from the sanctifying Spirit of Christ, the regenerate part doth overcome (Rom. 6:14; 1 John 5:4 4 For whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, `even' our faith. ; Eph. 4:15-16); and so, the saints grow in grace ( 2 Peter 3:18 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him `be' the glory both now and for ever. Amen. ; 2 Cor. 3:18), perfecting holiness in the fear of God (2 Cor. 7:1).
