Rooted in Sanctification, Eternal Security and Assurance – Romans 6:18 Derick Easter, Pastor/Teacher What is Sanctification? Sanctification is the process of Christians becoming more like Jesus. Read Romans 6:18 and Read Romans 6:14. Sanctification is a process. What does that mean? 1 John 1:8 and Ecclesiastes 7:20 When will our sanctification be complete? 2 Corinthians 3:18 and Philippians 3:13-14 Even though sanctification is mostly the work of God, how do we contribute to our own Sanctification? Philippians 2:12-13 and Hebrews 12:14 Eternal Security - The simplest explanation of this doctrine is the saying: “Once saved, always saved.” The Bible teaches that those who are born again will continue trusting in Christ forever. Ephesians 1:13-14, The understanding of this doctrine really comes from understanding the unique and special love that God has for His children. Romans 8:28-39 John 10:27-30, John 6:37-47, John 5:24, (1 John 2:3-4). How can I have Assurance of my Salvation? Assurance means freedom from doubt. By taking God’s Word to heart, you can have no doubt about the reality of your eternal salvation. Many followers of Jesus Christ look for the assurance of salvation in the wrong places. How can you have assurance of salvation? Consider 1 John 5:11–13 (John 1:12). (John 3:16; Acts 16:31). (Romans 10:9)
