Jesus is our entire Sanctification.
Do you have Him in you? Are you born again?
So, when we are "In Christ", we are as sanctified as God Himself.
= "as Jesus is.... so are the born again IN this World".
Our Discipleship, is not our sanctification, its our discipleship.
A lot of Christians confuse Salvation with Discipleship.
However......They are not the same.
Salvation is God offering His life to YOU.
Discipleship is you presenting your body and behavior back to God as your discipleship, subsequent to you being SANCTIFIED by the Blood of Jesus.
Discipleship has no effect on being "made Righteous', which is our entire sanctification, as "born again".
We are "made righteous", so, we can't become more righteous, but we can exist in perfection as a disciple, which is to have the mind of Christ =which is to walk in the Spirit.
To become "perfected", and exist as "the fullness of the Stature of Christ" is not found by deeds, its only found by having a perfectly renewed Mind that always and only reflects God's perspective of who we are as a born again NEW CREATION, made so by God Himself.
Notice that the NT teaches you that you please God by "faith", and that faith isn't deeds and works...but rather its found in perfected understanding = renewed MIND..
That is the REAL walk of Faith, and when you exist in this Right Believing, you are existing in the renewed mind, which is to walk in the Spirit.
That's how you live the sanctified life that is pleasing to God.
