The call of the Lord Jesus in the Scriptures for sanctification goes out to the churches and catches at the heart of all believers. The Head of the church commands holiness not only for his people individually, but also congregationally. Together we live before him and soon enough will stand before him. Sanctification is the work of the Holy Spirit in the body of the Christ. “We are living in the so-called perilous times. Only those who truly live in God’s grace are given the ability to realize the calling and maintain holiness in the world contaminated by sin. In this book, Hoogsteen reminds us that justification leads to sanctification in the life of believers—both individually and congregationally.” —Yarman Halawa, Senior Pastor, GKA Gracia Citra Raya Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia About the Author: T.
