They Go Together

“Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling…”

~ Philippians 2:12

“You cannot take Christ for justification unless you take Him for sanctification… You can no more separate justification from sanctification than you can separate the circulation of the blood from the inhalation of the air. Breathing and circulation are two different things, but you cannot have the one without the other; they go together, and they constitute one life. So you have justification and sanctification; they go together, and they constitute one life.”

~ A.A. Hodge (1823-1886)

  1. Very good quote! I agree with BT. It’s disconcerting, to say the very least, that the church of today does not appear to take in the WHOLE counsel of God.

  2. Pet doctrines, where the church teaches one truth with little regard to the “whole counsel of God” and often even the whole context of Scripture is a dangerous way of falling into error.
