The Lord Jesus Prays for His Disciples (2) : Father, sanctify them. <Jn 17:13-19>

Introduction：

1. The seed of sanctification was planted upon the regeneration of a person.

2. Sanctification is essentially not external change, but the constant internal renewal and transformation of a person in Christ.

3. Misunderstanding of Sanctification.

① Activism

② Passivism

4. Regeneration is monergistic, while Sanctification is synergistic.

5. In Sanctification, our sins are progressively being restrained and repressed, yet not destroyed.

6. During Sanctification, the conflict between our new and old self will cause great tension within us.
