Today we're again discussing sanctification, which in essence is becoming less like the old you and more like Christ. For that to happen we must have the Spirit dwelling in us. Clearly there are a great number of people today that are experiencing an external pressure from the Spirit, but they do not have an internal reality. They wonder why they’re not progressing and growing. Sanctification will only happen if we’re truly a Christian. Mike explains how we can know if the Spirit is in us.
Every believer occasionally struggles with doubt over their salvation. This is born out of guilt and discouragement of their sin they believe is too big or egregious for God to forgive.
This can lead Christians to underestimate or disbelieve the complete sacrifice for sin accomplished on the cross. Want to understand God's complete forgiveness and wiping away of sin?
