Good evening, we're back again in Systematic Theology, and we're up to session number 60 of the series already, for those keeping track. We've been studying lately redemption, which is God's project of choosing a people for himself, accomplishing their redemption from sin, and then applying that redemption to those he chose before history began. And as we've looked at redemption, we've been using a structure called the Ordo Salutis, and that just means the order of salvation. I printed that again in your notes. Now in the last four studies, we've covered definitive sanctification and adoption. So now we're up to step 4A in the Ordo Salutis, progressive sanctification, progressive sanctification. As saved people who belong to God, that's the step we're currently living in right now. This is the part of God's project of redemption that he's currently applying to us, progressive sanctification. And when it comes to the definition of progressive sanctification. Here's how the reformed theologian William Ames words it. Sanctification is the real change of a man from the filthiness of sin to the purity of God's image. And the Westminster Shorter Catechism defines it like this. Sanctification is the work of God's free grace, whereby we are renewed in the whole man after the image of God. and are enabled more and more to die unto sin and live unto righteousness. Now, we previously studied definitive sanctification, and there's important ways that progressive sanctification is similar. Both definitive sanctification and progressive sanctification are part of God's project for us, part of God's project. And the Holy Spirit empowers both of those. Both of them are concerned with our holiness. Definitive sanctification, which is what we studied before, is God setting us aside for himself as holy. Now, progressive sanctification, what we're going into now is God working in us to change us so that we walk in a progressively more holy manner. Also, definitive sanctification, what we studied before, is a foundation. for God's further work in us in progressive sanctification. But there's also important differences between definitive sanctification and progressive sanctification. First, definitive sanctification, what we studied before, it happens instantly at the moment of salvation. It's completed at that point. God has already set us aside as holy to himself. He's already taken us from the slave master of sin. Definitive sanctification is a change of status before God. Definitive sanctification, it takes place in a moment of time, but progressive sanctification is continuous, and it lasts our entire Christian lives. And then definitive sanctification, what we studied before, is completely a work of God. He is active, we are passive. But in progressive sanctification, God is still the one at work in us, but now we enter into that work. In progressive sanctification, we're no longer completely passive. We are consciously part of that process. Progressive sanctification, what we're beginning to look at tonight, is tied in another way to definitive sanctification. Our ongoing progressive sanctification is built on what God did in us previously. First of all, our progressive sanctification can't begin until we've been justified. Until justification, the law can only condemn us. Any work toward growing in the image of God can't begin until our condemnation is turned into acceptance. Secondly, progressive sanctification also, it presupposes that we've been adopted. We need to be part of the family of God. to be sons and daughters of God before God will start the work of making us like Christ. And then third, finally, progressive sanctification presupposes that definitive sanctification has taken place. In other words, sin must be dethroned in our lives before we can begin the journey of progressive sanctification. Sin has to be dethroned. If we're enslaved to sin, and sin is our master, then progressive sanctification is impossible. We can't have two masters. There is a difference between sin still being present in our lives, but we're fighting against it, and what we were before salvation when sin ruled and reigned in us. Definitive sanctification, that has to happen first, since God must first take us from the slave master of sin. Definitive sanctification is a foundation for this lifelong progress of progressive sanctification. This step in the Ordo Salutis, progressive sanctification, it presupposes that all those previous steps in the Ordo Salutis have been completed by God. And now to get further into the details of the doctrine of progressive sanctification, I'd like to use two verses in 1 Thessalonians. This is where we'll be first, in 1 Thessalonians. We'll spend some time mining the treasure of a couple of these verses, word by word. I'll be in 1 Thessalonians 5. Now I'll branch off into other passages from here, but this 1 Thessalonians passage, that'll be our main focus for a while. I'll be in 1 Thessalonians 5, and here, Paul gives us in two verses, the source of our sanctification, the scope or extent of our sanctification, the goal of our sanctification and the assurance that the goal will be met. A rich couple of verses. First Thessalonians chapter five, I'll read verses 23 and 24. And here Paul is ending the letter with final commands. And then finally he states his desire for them. Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful. He will surely do it. Paul is expressing his desire for the sanctification of the saints of the Thessalonian church. And the first thing in verse 23 that we can notice is that it is the power of God that is accomplishing their sanctification. The Thessalonians, they're not in this alone. It's not like God said, well, I've done the work of justifying you. It's now the rest. Well, that's completely up to you. We do have a role in the process of sanctification, but this passage highlights that it is God who is powerfully working sanctification in us by his will. As Paul phrases it, it is the God of peace himself. This phrasing, God himself shows that God doesn't delegate this task. It is God himself who is sanctifying us. God is the source of this work. The reason why God is the source of the work of sanctification and he himself does it and does not delegate the work is because we are God's project. God never leaves a project unfinished. I remember many years ago that I bought a small piece of furniture from a store that specialized in unfinished furniture. And the idea is that they build the furniture, but they delegate the job of finishing it to you. That way, you can paint it, you can stain it any way you want. You buy the unfinished item, you take it home, and they don't care what you do with it from that point. And you know what, I bought it, I finished it, and it turned out pretty well. It wasn't perfect, but I was satisfied with it because I made the decision on how it was to look when it was finished and it was close enough. God doesn't manage a project like an unfinished furniture store. He finishes every project with a particular goal of his own design. An unfinished furniture store outsources part of the project to the customer so that the customer can completely determine the result. But God doesn't outsource his project. Verse 23 says, may the God of peace himself, the project and the glory that results belong to God. Progressive sanctification is a part of the ordo salutis in which we are called to take part. Justification Definitive sanctification, adoption, those steps that came before, those are steps that God does alone. And we're just passive in those steps. But in progressive sanctification, this lifelong process of growing in Christ-likeness, we're no longer just passive recipients. We do take an active part in the war against remaining sin. We are called to good works. We are called to put the deeds of the flesh to death. So when verse 23 says it's God himself who is sanctifying us, how does this relate to our effort? When we look at the work of the divine person of the Holy Spirit in progressively sanctifying us, we can look at three categories, the process, the goal, and the resources needed to accomplish this. Process, goal, and resources. Our progressive sanctification is a project, a divine project. God's handiwork. And all projects have three aspects. You have a final goal, you have a process to get to the goal, and then you have the resources needed to get to the goal. Goal, process, resources. The final goal of our sanctification, what is the goal? Well, it's a goal that will not be reached until we're with the Lord, and that goal is to be like Christ. The Puritan Thomas Watson answered the question, what is sanctification? With this answer, it is a principle of grace, savingly wrought, whereby the heart becomes holy and is made after God's own heart. A sanctified person bears not only God's name, but his image. We've already looked at adoption where we're given the grace of bearing God's name. In the following lifelong process of sanctification, the goal is to bear not only God's name, but his image. We don't have a part in choosing that goal. Our sanctification is God's project, and he's the one who chooses the goal. To use the example, once again, of the unfinished furniture store, that store outsources the goal to you. You choose what the furniture is going to look like. The goal is up to you. But that's not the case with our progressive sanctification. God determines the goal and what we are to be at the final day. That goal is Christlikeness. I'll branch off here to another passage, which would be Romans chapter eight. Romans chapter eight, verse 29. For those whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his son in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers." There's some words here in verse 29 that should fill us with amazement. Those words are foreknew, predestined, conformed, and image. God knew you by name in eternity past. God didn't just know you as a face in a large crowd of people who would eventually be redeemed. He knew you individually by name. He foreknew you. His knowing you ahead of time goes hand in hand with God having predestined you for the goal and predestined the process to reach the goal. God determined before the world was that you by name would be brought by divine power to a particular goal. What is that goal? The next words are conformed and image. Conformed and image. The goal is for each of us as Christians to bear similarity to Christ. The process of sanctification culminates in the goal of God's project that Christ is the firstborn among many brothers. We are going through a process right now, a process that God predestined for us toward moral likeness to Christ. We won't reach that goal in this world, but when we're with the Lord, we will be like him then. At that time, we will be at the goal of being morally like Christ and also being glorified at the resurrection. A project has a goal, but it also has a process to get to the goal. we do have a part in the process of sanctification. We are called to put to death the deeds of the old man and to live for Christ. Parts of the Ordo Salutis that we studied up until now were completely God's work, and we were passive in those steps. Regeneration, for example, that's completely God's work, and we were passive. Definitive sanctification, what we studied before, being set aside from the world as holy to God, that was God's work. We were passive. Adoption, that was God's work. We were passive. But now when we get to progressive sanctification, we're still God's project. But now we enter into the work. God's determined the goal and we enter into God's process of moving us toward the goal. Now, the next passage that I'm gonna branch off to will probably be familiar, and it reveals the resources that are involved in the process to get to the goal, the resources. The goal for us is Christlikeness, and the process to get to the goal is progressive, it's lifelong. I'll be next in Philippians chapter two, and I'll read verses 12 and 13. Philippians two, verses 12 and 13. In this passage, reveals who is involved in the process of sanctification. Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now not only as in my presence, but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling for it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Paul had expressed to the Philippian church a command for their corporate life, that their ethical life be worthy of the gospel of Christ. They were to be of the same mind, loving one another, doing nothing from selfishness or conceit. And now we get here to these verses 12 and 13. Paul's apostolic command to them is that they are to progress in their outworking of salvation. God had already saved them. God had already by his own work alone called them, regenerated them, justified them, adopted them. God alone did these things. And they were passive recipients of those blessings. They were not being asked to somehow save themselves. They were now to engage in the outworking of salvation, which is progressive sanctification. They were to engage in ethical obedience to God. This was a command to each of them individually in their own lives and also a command to the church as a whole. Guiding their corporate lives together, how they treat one another. And now we get to verse 13. It says, for it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure. God is working in us in progressive sanctification. God didn't just outsource this part of his project. He didn't justify us and then say, okay, for the rest of the project, you're on your own. God, the Holy Spirit is working within us. God is the power source. God is the one who's in charge of the project. The process involved in the project requires willing and working. Like the verse says, we both will and work, but it is God, the Holy Spirit working in us to enable us to will and work. Now verse 13 also speaks of who determines the goal. The goal is determined by God. The verse says it's for His good pleasure, for His good pleasure. God is working in us, directing and enabling the process of sanctification, and He's doing this for His good pleasure. God has already determined the good goal of our sanctification. We're not on our own. in sanctification. The very power and presence of God is working in us. Now let's go back to where we were back in 1 Thessalonians 5. 1 Thessalonians 5, and I'll read verses 23 and 24 again. Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, He who calls you is faithful. He will surely do it. And we just looked at the words. Now may the God of peace himself. We do will and work in our progressive sanctification, but God is working in us. The next clause in the verse is sanctify you completely. Sanctify you completely. Paul goes on to emphasize the completeness of sanctification that God intends to complete in us. May your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless. God's project has a comprehensive scope. God does not intend for his children to shelter secret compartments away from this renovation project. The Greek word that we see here translated as completely, It's two Greek words kind of smooshed together into one Greek word. These are the words for whole and to the end. That is the extent of the sanctification that God intends. Whole and to the end. It's to be finished and complete. Then Paul doubles down on God's intent for the extent of our sanctification. He uses the word picture of Whole, spirit, and soul, and body. Now, some people think this is proof that human nature can be divided into three parts, which would be spirit, soul, and body. And I've taught on this before, and why human nature is actually two parts instead of three. We are spirit and body. And the words soul and spirit that we see here, they're really two words for the same thing, the immaterial part of humanity. And we looked at this clear back in session 21, so I won't review that again. But this phrase, spirit, soul, and body, it's a figure of speech to emphasize the complete person. It's like if you write a really mushy Valentine's card to your spouse and you write, I love you heart and soul. It's a figure of speech meant to refer to all of you and all of your faculties. So Paul doubles down on God's design for the completeness and extent of sanctification. God's project, God's goal, which should be the same as our goal, is to be Christ-like in the whole human nature. Our sanctification is to be comprehensive. In past studies, I've defined the heart as the center of who we are, and I divided it into the mind, the will and the affections, the mind, the will and the affections, with affections just meaning what we love. If God's goal for our progressive sanctification is for a comprehensive sanctification or complete sanctification, then it must include renewal of all these three components of our hearts, our mind, will, and affections. Once again, that renewal won't be complete in this life. It's a process, but God is aiming the process toward that comprehensive goal. One element of our heart that needs to be progressively changed is our mind, our mind. And I'm gonna branch off now to Romans chapter 12 next, where Paul's encouraging the flock on how to live in light of the doctrine that he's presented in the previous chapters. I'll be in Romans 12, verses one and two, which give an overview on how we are to live as people being sanctified. He says, I appeal to you, therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. God's goal for us in progressive sanctification is to change our way of thinking about everything. The Greek grammar for the words we see as transformed or in the present imperative. That means it's a command, and it's not just a one-time command. It's a command to have an ongoing habit of continuous renewal of our minds. Back in the first chapter of Romans, in Romans 1.28, Paul has already shown that before salvation, the minds of people descend to a debased state. And I'll just briefly read that verse where he says, They did not see fit to acknowledge God. God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. When we were first saved, this began a lifelong process where we are commanded to continually change our minds. We've been set free from the slave master of sin. and we now need to think like servants of Christ. Only as our minds are renewed can we then be transformed. As we submit to the Holy Spirit's work on our minds, we learn to test and discern the will of God. Our thinking can now morally reason what is truly good and acceptable and perfect. Now the next part of the heart that we can look at is the will. The will. The will is the power to make decisions. Before salvation, our will was corrupt, and the decisions we made and carried out reflected a sinful heart. But now, in progressive sanctification, God is working in us to change our will, to change our decision-making power to conform to his will, and to show this change of our will I'll read again from Philippians chapter two, verses 12 and 13. Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now not only is in my presence, but much more in my absence. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Verse 13 tells us how God is working in us in progressive sanctification. The Holy Spirit is working in us to will and work for God's good pleasure. The renewed mind first does the moral reasoning to see what is right as defined by what is Christlikeness. Then the renewed will is to make decisions to act in a way that is Christlike. Paul reminds us of how depraved our will was before salvation. I'll read from Ephesians 2 this time. This description is in Ephesians 2 verses 1 to 3. And you were dead in trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience. among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath like the rest of mankind. Paul is describing this poisonous brew of sin that was our character before God saved us. And I'll focus on part of verse three where it says, we are carrying out the desires of the body and the mind. The will is the power to make decisions, to go forward on carrying out these decisions. Before salvation, our depraved will causes to decide to carry out sinful desires. The Greek word we see here is desires. The desires of the body and the mind can also be translated as the will of the body and mind. the will of the body and mind. The Puritan Thomas Watson wrote, after the fall, the will was depraved. There was not only impotence to good, but obstinacy. In other words, we had no ability to direct our will to what is good in the sight of God, but instead our will rebelled against God. But now our will, our power to make decisions is to be progressively turned around to be compliant to God's will. Now, the third component of the heart is the affections. The affections are what we love. I'll read next from one verse in Romans chapter 12, verse nine, Romans 12, nine. Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil, hold fast to what is good. Abhor what is evil, hold fast to what is good. The word translated abhor is the only time in the New Testament where this Greek word is used. In the translation abhor, it makes a powerful point. The Greek word means to strongly hate. Our affections, What we love will also dictate what we hate. We are to strongly hate evil. This is linked to the following words, hold fast to what is good. It's like we are to be glued to what is good, married to what is good, inseparable from what is good. The words that begin the verse are let love be genuine. Paul is here closely coupling genuine love with hating evil and being glued to what is good. Genuine love is shown in what we love and therefore what we hate. A quality that we should strive for in progressive sanctification is zeal, zeal, to be zealous. We should grow in zealousness for sanctification. We should strive increasingly for genuine love and strive to be wedded to what is good. Thomas Watson wrote this about zeal for sanctification. Sanctification is an intense and ardent thing. Sanctification is not a dead form, but is inflamed into zeal. We call water hot when it is so in the third or fourth degree. So he is holy whose religion is heated to some degree and his heart boils over in love to God. What we love, our affections that are being sanctified, is coupled with our will, which is also being sanctified. Our love for what is good, our hatred for the remaining sinful habits within us should have an increasing zeal. That zeal in our affections should increasingly translate to a zeal in our will, our power to make decisions. Now let's go back to the summary passage that we began working through back in 1 Thessalonians 5. 1 Thessalonians 5. Verses 23 and 24. I'll read that passage again. Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ He who calls you is faithful, he will surely do it. We've covered the part of verse 23 that says, now may the God of peace himself, then sanctify you completely. And the completeness shown by the words, whole spirit and soul and body. And now we come to be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is coupled with verse 24, he who calls you as faithful, he will surely do it. Now, Paul is here looking to our preservation in sanctification until the final day, the day of the return of the Lord Jesus. There are days when we're dissatisfied with our progress in sanctification, days when we're especially aware of our remaining sin, It can be difficult to believe that God's goal for us is to sanctify us completely. We may feel vulnerable to sin and fearful that we will not persevere until the final day. You know, the Thessalonians who were listening to this letter being read to them might've felt the same way. You know, Paul had just finished with a list of imperatives for the Christian life. Paul instructed them with imperatives like, see that no one repays anyone evil for evil, always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. They were to rejoice always and pray without ceasing. Then the verse right before verse 23 summarizes it all abstain from every form of evil. We do recognize that we need to follow these imperatives. We need to grow in this obedience, but when we compare our current state of sanctification against a large list of imperatives, we might lose hope. This is where Paul reminds us of the divine power working within us to move us to the goal. Our sanctification is a part of God's project. In this part of God's project, we enter into the work and we have a part in it. Every project has a goal and a process to get to the goal. and the resources needed to complete the process and achieve the goal. Project has a goal, process, and resources. The last part of verse 23 tells us what the goal is, to be kept blameless or be preserved blameless. Verse 24 tells us what the resource for the project is. The resource is the divine power of the Holy Spirit working in us. Once again, God didn't justify us and adopt us and then completely outsource sanctification to our own resources. We enter into the work, but verse 24 tells us that he will surely do it. Paul didn't tell the Thessalonians, I know that you can complete your own sanctification if you just give it the old college try. When we are discouraged, by our own remaining sin, we need to look to God's goal for us and his present work in us. The last part of verse 23 tells us the goal. The goal is what we can call ultimate sanctification, ultimate sanctification. Right now, we are in what could be called the sandwich stage of our sanctification. We're in a stage where we're sandwiched between two events. Now, a few studies ago, we saw one of the steps that God accomplished alone, which was definitive sanctification. That was when God took us from under the taskmaster of sin and placed us in his kingdom. He set us aside as holy to himself, to worship him and serve him. That was definitive sanctification. That was the first event that we're sandwiched between. Now on the final day will be ultimate sanctification. Ultimate sanctification is when we are finally with the Lord and we're finally perfected on that day. God's goal for us will be reached and the project will be finished. In a sense, right now we're sandwiched between our first day of being saved when we were definitively sanctified and the final day when we'll be ultimately sanctified. In the meantime, during this period of progressive sanctification, we need to be preserved or God's project will not be completed. Paul is comforting us that God will see to the success of his project. The prayer of Paul for the Thessalonians in verse 23 is that God will keep us blameless. God will keep us or guard us in a state of blamelessness. This blamelessness has two aspects, present and future. God is even now preserving us as blameless. The power of the Holy Spirit keeps us from committing the sin of apostasy or falling completely. We are not sinless in this life during this sandwich state. But the Holy Spirit is working within us to increase our moral integrity for our lives to match our profession of faith. And on that final day, when God grants ultimate sanctification, God will pronounce us blameless. Until then, we are being guarded or kept in our progress toward that goal. And I'll turn next to the book of Jude, the book of Jude. I'm gonna read two verses, verses 24 and 25. Here we'll be able to see both aspects of how the Lord preserves us blameless in the present and on the final day. Book of Jude 24 and 25. Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority before all time and now and forever. Amen. Now Jude had just finished warning his readers on their need to persevere in the true faith. They needed to be actively vigilant because false teachers were out there multiplying. Jude goes into detail on how these heretics were gonna be judged by God. They had fallen into immorality and outright denial of the faith, and those false teachers were teaching others to do the same. And after giving these warnings about heretics, Jude finishes by telling his readers to build themselves up in the true holy faith. They were also to show love to their Christian brothers by strengthening those who were wavering under the influence of these heretics. Now here in verses 24 and 25, Jude comes to the end of his letter with a doxology or a praise to God. Jude tells us in verse 24 that one of the reasons that his readers should praise God is that he's able to spiritually preserve them, both in this age and to the end of the age. Two timeframes are in view here. God is able to keep us from stumbling now in this age and he's able to grant us ultimate sanctification on the final day. Blamelessness in this present age doesn't mean that we're sinless. The best word I can think of to characterize our goal in progressive sanctification is integrity, integrity. God is able in his project of progressive sanctification to cause our lives to reflect spiritual integrity to greater and greater degrees. The opposite of that, the opposite of integrity would be what verse 24 calls stumbling. Jude had just described the danger of being led astray by false teachers, of these wolves causing them to stumble in the faith. God is able to guard his people from finally and completely falling away from the faith. Now the other timeframe in verse 24 is the final day when we will be presented before the presence of His glory, God is able to bring us to the goal, ultimate sanctification at that day. At the day of ultimate sanctification, we will be truly blameless or without blemish. We will be without sin for all of eternity. That is the reason that the verse says we will be presented before God's glory with joy instead of the terror of eternal judgment. Now, we'll go back to the passage that we started with and that we've been working through. 1 Thessalonians chapter five, 1 Thessalonians chapter five, verses 23 and 24. And I'll read it again to bring the wording back to mind. Now, may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, he will surely do it. Once again, God will keep us blameless in this life, meaning that we will not sin and stumble in a way that we will ultimately and finally fall. God will make us blameless or without blemish at the final day. Then in verse 24, we see the resource behind this project, the power of God. Jude tells us that God will complete his project in us. He who calls you is faithful. He will surely do it. That'll just about wrap up things for tonight and we'll continue on the subject of progressive sanctification next time. But what we can take away tonight is that God doesn't stop his project in us when he first saves us. When God begins a project, finishes it. We can go to the book of Hebrews chapter 7 to see that God invests in his project to the end. I'll just read briefly from Hebrews chapter 7 verse 25 and here the context of the passage is the permanent priesthood of Christ since he lives forever as opposed to the priests of the Old Testament. It says, consequently He is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. Because Christ lives forever, his priesthood is uninterrupted, and he's able to save to the uttermost. He saves completely, and he saves forever. There is no doubt about whether God will finish his project of saving his people. Christ saves to the uttermost. If Christ saves to the uttermost, we can be assured that the divine person of the Holy Spirit will work to finish the project of sanctification in us. As we read a few minutes ago, he who calls you is faithful, he will surely do it. God's project for us, it's not like the unfinished furniture store. The unfinished furniture store sells you something unfinished, and then they don't care what you do with it. You determine how it's gonna be finished for better or worse, and your skill and your interest level and your own resources will determine how it will turn out. God's project of salvation is not like the unfinished furniture store. We do enter into the work, and we are called to enter in with great vigor, but it is God's goal, God's process, and God's resources that stand behind the project. God does not leave us alone. As the book of first Thessalonians says, he who calls you is faithful. He will surely do it. Thanks for coming tonight. And next time we'll continue in progressive sanctification.
