Sanctification is the moment-by-moment process by which we more and more submit our hearts, minds, and bodies to following Jesus.

The Holy Spirit:

1. Makes us obedient-Romans 15:16.
2. Enables us to put to death the deeds of the flesh – Romans 8:13.
3. Reproves (convicts) us of our sins John 16:8, 4. Leads us where we need to go Luke 4:1, Galatians 5:16-18. 4.
4. Fills us with power – Micah 3:8
