What is the final work of grace in us? | Our ultimate hope and promise in Christ is glorification, where our souls and bodies are perfectly restored.
How do we have victory over the world, the flesh, and the devil? | With watchfulness through the power of the Holy Spirit.
How shall we hold on to such a blessing? | We must respond wholly to the will of God so that sin will lose its power over us; and the world, the flesh, and the devil are put under our feet.
Does sanctification deliver us from the weakness of human nature? | No. We believe this experience does not deliver us from the infirmities, ignorance, and mistakes common to humankind, nor from the possibilities of further sin.
Should all pursue entire sanctification? | Yes. It should be sought earnestly by every child of God.
Is entire sanctification gradual or instantaneous? | Through faith in Jesus Christ this gracious gift may be received in this life either gradually or instantaneously.
What is the beauty of entire sanctification? | It is being delivered from the power of sin; loving God with all the heart, soul, mind, and strength; and loving one’s neighbor as one’s self.
Is true holiness possible? | Yes. Entire sanctification is a state of perfect love, righteousness, and true holiness which every regenerate believer may obtain.
What else does sanctifying grace do for us? | It enables us to strive for that holiness without which no one will see the Lord.
How is sanctification lived out? | Holiness of heart and life, which includes works of piety and works of mercy.
How does God’s grace continue its work in us through the Word and the Spirit? | God’s sanctifying grace cleanses us from sin
in our thoughts, words, and acts, and enables us to live in accordance with God’s will.
Can we have faith without works? | No. We believe good works are the necessary fruits of faith and follow regeneration,
but they do not remove our sins or allow us to avert divine judgment.
