Many have been taught that sanctification is a process. But this is a smokescreen. No one gets holier with time. Maybe just holier than thou.
The Catholics also have a smokescreen. They call it "purgatory". But it's the same scheme....only with a different approach
What is the scheme? It is a reference to a denial that we can walk with God in holiness in THIS life...by grace through faith. That is our salvation. To walk with God as Jesus walked. No one does that gradually...it's not by works. It is a gift given to all who surrender themselves fully to God.
There are two paths we can follow...according to the ways of God. These are the ancient paths to walk in.
The way of righteousness. This way is the way of humility, honesty, brokenness and the fear of the Lord. This is the low road
The way of holiness in Christ: This is the narrow way that very few will find. This is the way of resurrection life...to walk as Jesus walked. This is the high road
Now, most believers walk in neither the low road nor the high road...(neither hot nor cold) instead they try to raise themselves up through a religious process...exemplified by Babylon.
The way up is actually down. Only God translates people into the higher walk. No one attains it over time.
We are to receive with MEEKNESS the implanted word. But that's not what happens, in most cases. In most cases a person who begins well gets seduced into placing themselves in a much higher place than they ought to. Let no one esteem himself higher than he should.
All religious efforts end the same way.
