Sanctification

Eerst justification -> sanctification

on Christian perfection...

= alle teksten in NT wat spreekt over verandering's proces

[15:27, 5/8/2020] Arthur: Preach kd: teach concern things Lord Messiah, savior, Redeemer by grace, righteousness if Christ imputed by imparted righteousness. Not saved through the law, but righteousness of Christ. But also preach kingdom, kd has law, has a system of government. Law is basis of that. keep law not because we have to but want to because it's just, good, holy, right

Doctrine perfectness of Christ.

[10:20, 5/9/2020] Arthur: Wesley transformed Christian perfection as found in church tradition by interpreting it through a Protestant lens that understood sanctification in light of justification by grace through faith working by love.[21] Wesley believed that regeneration (or the new birth), which occurred simultaneously with justification, was the beginning of sanctification.[22] From his reading of Romans 6 and First John 3:9, Wesley concluded that a consequence of the new birth was power over sin. In a sermon titled "Christian Perfection", Wesley preached that "A Christian is so far perfect as not to commit sin

[10:21, 5/9/2020] Arthur: The terms "perfect" and "perfection" are drawn from the Greek teleios and teleiōsis, respectively. The root word, telos, means an "end" or "goal". In recent translations, teleios and teleiōsis are often rendered as "mature" and "maturity", respectively, so as not to imply an absolute perfection of no defects. But the words "mature" and "maturity" do not capture the full meaning of "end" or "goal". (Even these recent translations use the word "perfect" when not referring to people, as in James 1:17.[4]) In the Christian tradition, teleiōsis has also referred to personal wholeness or health, an unswerving commitment to the goal

[10:22, 5/9/2020] Arthur: Wesley did not, however, believe in an absolute "sinless" perfection, and he repudiated those who taught that Christians could achieve such a state.[24] However, with John Wesley's concepts of original sin, he did believe in freedom from sin. Wesley described sin like this:

"Nothing is sin, strictly speaking, but a voluntary transgression of a known law of God. Therefore, every voluntary breach of the law of love is sin; and nothing else, if we speak properly. To strain the matter farther is only to make way for Calvinism. There may be ten thousand wandering thoughts, and forgetful intervals, without any breach of love, though not without transgressing the Adamic law. But Calvinists would fain confound these together. Let love fill your heart, and it is enough!"

[10:30, 5/9/2020] Arthur: entire sanctification was a work of grace received by faith that removed inbred or original sin, and this allowed the Christian to enter a state of perfect love—"Love excluding sin" as stated in the sermon "The Scripture Way of Salvation".[30] Wesley described it as having "purity of intention", "dedicating all the life to God", "loving God with all our heart", and as being the "renewal of the heart in the whole image of God".[30] A life of perfect love meant living in a way that was centered on loving God and one's neighbor.[31] In his Sermon called "The Circumcision of the Heart" Wesley described it like this:

"It is that habitual disposition of soul which, in the sacred writings, is termed holiness; and which directly implies, the being cleansed from sin, 'from all filthiness both of flesh and spirit;' and, by consequence, the being endued with those virtues which were also in Christ Jesus; the being so 'renewed in the spirit of our mind,' as to be 'perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect.'

[10:37, 5/9/2020] Arthur: Even this was not an absolute perfection. The entirely sanctified Christian was perfect in love, meaning that the heart is undivided in its love for God or that it loves nothing that conflicts with its love for God. Christians perfected in love were still subject to conditions of the Fall and liable to commit unintentional transgressions. In consequence, these Christians still had to depend on forgiveness through Christ's atonement.[33] However, with Wesley's concept of sin, he did believe in freedom from sin. In fact, he described it like this "Certainly sanctification (in the proper sense) is “an instantaneous deliverance from all sin;” and includes “an instantaneous power then given.”[34]

Wesley's concept of Christian perfection had both gradual and instantaneous elements. In his 1765 sermon "The Scripture Way of Salvation", Wesley emphasized the instantaneous side, stating, "Do you believe we are sanctified by faith? Be true, then, to your principle and look for this blessing just as you are, neither better nor worse; as a poor sinner that has still nothing to pay, nothing to plead but 'Christ died'. And if you look for it as you are, then expect it now".[35]

In "Thoughts on Christian Perfection" (1759), Wesley stressed the gradual aspect of perfection, writing that it was to be received "in a zealous keeping of all the commandments; in watchfulness and painfulness; in denying ourselves and taking up our cross daily; as well as in earnest prayer and fasting and a close attendance on all the ordinances of God . . . it is true we receive it by simple faith; but God does not, will not, give that faith unless we seek it with all diligence in the way which he hath ordained".[26] In addition, Wesley also believed that Christian perfection, once received, might be forfeited.[35]

John Wesley taught that outward holiness in the form of "right words and right actions" should reflect the inner transformation experienced through the second work of grace.

[10:42, 5/9/2020] Arthur: Through the Holy Spirit God has given us His love so that we may love Him in return with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and our neighbour as ourselves. This is a gift offered to all Christians, and by responding we affirm that there is no limit to what the grace of God is able to do in a human life. By giving us the Holy Spirit, God assures us of His love for us and enables us to love as He, in Christ, loves us. When God's love is perfected in us, we so represent Christ to our neighbours that they see Him in us without hindrance from us. Perfect love, as Christian perfect is often called, is the result of, and can only be maintained by, complete dependence on Jesus Christ. It is given either gradually or at one moment...

[10:46, 5/9/2020] Arthur: We believe sanctification is the work of God's grace through the Word and the Spirit, by which those who have been born again are cleansed from sin in their thoughts, words and acts, and are enabled to live in accordance with God's will, and to strive for holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

Entire sanctification is a state of perfect love, righteousness and true holiness which every regenerate believer may obtain by being delivered from the power of sin, by loving God with all the heart, soul, mind and strength, and by loving one's neighbor as one's self. Through faith in Jesus Christ this gracious gift may be received in this life both gradually and instantaneously, and should be sought earnestly by every child of God.

We believe this experience does not deliver us from the infirmities, ignorance, and mistakes common to man, nor from the possibilities of further sin. The Christian must continue on guard against spiritual pride and seek to gain victory over every temptation to sin. He must respond wholly to the will of God so that sin will lose its power over him; and the world, the flesh, and the devil are put under his feet. Thus he rules over these enemies with watchfulness through the power of the Holy Spirit.[2

[10:48, 5/9/2020] Arthur: "We believe that entire sanctification is that work of the Holy Spirit by which the child of God is cleansed from inherited depravity and empowered for more effective service through faith in Jesus Christ. It is subsequent to regeneration and is accomplished in a moment of time when the believer presents himself a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God. The Spirit-filled believer is thus enabled to love God with an undivided heart."

[10:57, 5/10/2020] Arthur: difference: on that cross He was crucified for me & on that cross I'm crucified with Him. one aspect brings us deliverance of sins condemnation, the other from sins power... First we discover the cross as coming between God and ourselves, that's the substitution aspect. (all by Mashiach)... Now i'm crucified with Him and not I longer live but He in me. He we see the cross becoming between us and our sinful nature. These words bring us face to face with a crucifiction that is experiential, for Christ does not vicariously deliver from indwelling sin. There is an outward and inward calvary. The one compliments the other. It's like a 2 side coin!

[11:00, 5/10/2020] Arthur: the true union is their perfection. Christ was not only the atonement over sin but a triumph over sin!

[11:13, 5/10/2020] Arthur: Yeshua bore

1. the penalty

2. the power

3. the presence

of sin and sickness. Yeshua paid the whole penalty. He told John: i was, am and will be, Eternal. We have been saved, are saved and will be saved. We have been saved by grace, we are being made whole (shalom) Christlike sanctified, we prepare as His bride... And we will be saved for eternity in the kingdom. Is we called on His name as Lord and savrior we are saved, then one day in heaven we will be saved from the presence of sin. In a fallen world we live with the presence of sin. He also bore the power that's why true believers get victory over sin, but sometimes we fell again.

[11:27, 5/12/2020] Arthur: justification brings us into the blessed kingdom of God's love, sanctification perfects His love in us, in our hearts. So if we want to have relationship with God, we have to love Him with all our hearts. Meaning love Him for whom He is. Yes He is the savior and redeemer, but He is also Lord and king. So He is to be obeyed for His authority. God has a KD, KD's have governing rulings to identify the standards of by which the throne rules. Authority is only active in actions, there needs something to be doing.

[11:29, 5/12/2020] Arthur: wholeness (shalom), perfection; it is impossible with man but possible with God. Is there anything to hard for God, His devine power of grace and the power of His spirit? If you say yes, then you have little faith. If you rely and depend and expect God to work because of your conviction that He will do as He promised, then you walk and trust in the covenant that you made with God. He also has a side in the covenant.

[11:35, 5/12/2020] Arthur: No one can ever be fully satisfied in this redemption life until this second work of grace is accomplished in the heart. Justification brings us into the blessed kingdom of God's love. Sanctification perfects his love in us. This second grace enables us to realize not only the meaning of perfect love, but we also comprehend the glorious fact that God has wrought in us perfect purity and holiness. This implies our being perfect in God's will, and because we have yielded our will completely to him. Every disposition of our will which sought its own way is now in perfect conformity with his and as Jesus could say in Gethsemane, "Thy will be done," which meant death on Calvary to him, so we have said the same to God with a vivid consciousness that once for all it meant death to us. It has required the perfect will of Jesus to obtain this grace of sanctification for us, and it now requires our perfect will to receive it from him. Here is where we can stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

[11:37, 5/12/2020] Arthur: (satisfied with just the perverted grace doctrine will not last forever!) Because if we are in the flesh, the carnal mind, it will lead to dead, sin and emptiness. We want to be fully filled with His spirit in order to be satisfied and fulfilled (In Him)

[11:47, 5/12/2020] Arthur: =The difference between present and future perfection.= In his letter to the church at Philippi, the apostle speaks of a perfection in the future, which unless understood may confuse some minds upon this subject. In Phil.3:12 he writes, "Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus." Here it sounds as though perfection is not attainable in this life, but if we notice the language of the context we can clearly see that he is speaking of the resurrection of the dead. Ver.11. It is the resurrection perfection that he here has reference to, which cannot be attained in this life. We must wait with the apostle until this "mortality shall be swallowed up of life," before we reach a state of absolute perfection, and with him, "press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." But in verse 15 he says, "Let us therefore as many as be perfect be thus minded," showing that there is a present perfection which he, with others, has already attained. This is the experience which it is the will of God for us all to enjoy. For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified. Dear reader, have you attained it, or are you yet living beneath your blood-bought privilege? "Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen." -- Heb.13:20, 21.
