Welcome to The Shorter Podcast: the podcast that demonstrates that the Shorter Catechism is for all and useful for all of life. You’ll find all of the The Shorter episodes right here. We are excited to journey through the Shorter Catechism with you. Please invite a friend to listen along.
In this episode of the podcast, Tommy and Stephen continue their journey through The Shorter Catechism by looking at Question 35 concerning sanctification.
Q. 35. What is sanctification?
A. Sanctification is the work of God's free grace, whereby we are renewed in the whole man after the image of God, and are enabled more and more to die unto sin, and live unto righteousness.
