Summary: ADVANCE - 11: Some people functionally relate to Jesus in the following way: I trust you to forgive me of my sins but don't trust you with much else. We look forward to being with Jesus when we die, but aren't that interested in spending time with him in this life. This is a deeply disturbing reality and once that should not go unchecked. Paul counters this form of Christianity by discussing sanctification, and lists a few practical ways we can grow and mature in our faith. He also discusses where sanctification ends: glorification, the transforming of ourselves into the image of Jesus at the end of time.
