Now and then, I come across talk and discussion on sanctification. For many years, I felt one way about it, that it is synergistic. As of late, perhaps a year ago, I have changed my position of that, I now thisk it is monergistic.

I believe sanctification is God's work; He builds us up in Christ, conforming us to his image. We are just living the progress from what God has done and is doing. Our lives are being conformed to the image of Christ, and justification is just getting used to justification.

As the process of sanctification continues, we are just getting used to the process of God doing His conforming work, renewing our minds, etc... And we are getting used to the idea of being saved by the grace of God alone. Our sanctification consists merely in being shaped by, or getting used to, justification. That's what i believe anyway.

Thoughts?
