THE NEED FOR SANCTIFICATION

Sanctification Is The Uprooting Of The Adamic Nature Of Sin That We Inherited From Adam From Our Hearts Use

TEXT: John 17:17-19

KEY VERSE: “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. I Thess. 5:23
The effects of the fall of man are seen today in the whole human race - Genesis 5:3; 6:5: Job 14.1
15:14; Psalm 51:5; Prov. 22: 15; Jer. 17:9; Matt. 15:19; Mark 7:21-23; John 3:6; Rom. 5:19:
Gal. 5:15-2 1; Eph. 2:1-3.
1. The understanding is darkened -Eph.4:18; 1 Cor.2:14
2. The heart is deceitful and desperately wicked- Jer.17:9
3. The mind and conscience is defiled- Titus1 :5
3. The will enslaved- Rom.7: 18
4. The depravity or the root of sin in man is variously referred to as
"the old man" Rom.6:6; Eph.4:22; Col.3:9
the body of sin" Rom.6:6; Col.2: 11
"sin that dwelleth in me" Rom.7: 17
"the body of death" Rom.7:24
"the carnal mind" Rom.8:7
"filthiness" 2Con.7:1
"flesh - Rom.8:8-9, 12-13; Gal.5:17;
Psalm 51:5; Isa.6:7; Eze. 36: 25-26; 1John1:9
5. Consequently, SIN is viewed as
a dominating tyrant-Rom.7:14-20
a hercditary evil-Rom.6:6; Eph.4:22
a downward dragRom.8:2
an inward enemy-Rom.8:5-8
a corruption of moral nature -Rom.8:8; Gal.5:16-21
Here then is our problem: sin is first inherited before it is committed!
Sins committed:
Mark 7:2 1-23; Rom. 1:29-32; 1 Cor.6:9-10; Col.3:5-6; Gal.5: 19-21 ; Rev.21:8
