[Apologies for the choppy audio in this sermon—there are a few moments where it cuts in and out]
We are accepted by God not because of our works, but through the finished work of Christ — this is justification.And we grow and mature in God not by our own effort, but through the ongoing work of the Spirit — this is sanctification.From start to finish, the Christian life is rooted in the gospel of grace — for the same gospel that justifies us, also sanctifies us.Galatians 3:1-9
