But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification…

1 Corinthians 1:30

Takeaways:

• Sanctification is essential for salvation (2 Thessalonians 2:13; Hebrews 12:14)
• Holiness demands an inward delight
• We don't obtain holiness by our own actions, but:
  • Christ has purchased it for us (Jeremiah 31:31-33)
  • Christ has conquered the opposition (Satan, the world, our remaining sin — Romans 6)
  • Christ is the source of our holiness, providing strength as we abide in him (John 15:1)
• For strength: never look within; always look to Christ
• God's law does not sanctify—Christ sanctifies
