How does sanctification and Justification differ?

How does sanctification and Justification differ?

Author: Russell Herman, Jonathan van Hoogen, Ryan Hemphill, Vinnie Hanke February 25, 2026 Duration: 14:30

What does holiness look like? J.C. Ryle explains:

  1. True sanctification then does not consist in talk about religion.
  2. True sanctification does not consist in temporary religious feelings.
  3. True sanctification does not consist in outward formalism and external devoutness.
  4. Sanctification does not consist in retirement from our place in life, and the renunciation of our social duties.
  5. Sanctification does not consist in the occasional performance of right actions. (p. 32)
  6. Genuine sanctification will show itself in habitual respect to God’s law, and habitual effort to live in obedience to it as the rule of life.
  7. Genuine sanctification will show itself in an habitual endeavor to do Christ’s will, and to live by His practical precepts.
  8. Genuine sanctification will show itself in an habitual desire to live up to the standard which St. Paul sets before the churches in his writings.
  9. Genuine sanctification will show itself in habitual attention to the active graces which our Lord so beautifully exemplified, and especially to the grace of charity.
  10. Genuine sanctification, in the last place, will show itself in habitual attention to the passive graces of Christianity.

Each weekday morning, four pastors from Idaho's Treasure Valley gather for a conversation that feels more like a thoughtful coffee chat than a formal sermon. Their The Gospel for Life podcast operates from a simple, profound premise: the core message of Christianity isn't meant to be compartmentalized into a weekly service, but to actively shape every decision, relationship, and challenge we face. You'll hear these hosts explore how ancient wisdom speaks directly to modern complexities-from navigating workplace ethics and family dynamics to engaging with culture, philosophy, and societal questions. The dialogue is grounded, practical, and refreshingly free from religious jargon, making it accessible whether you're deeply rooted in faith or simply curious. This isn't about adding more religious duty to your life; it's about discovering a framework that brings coherence to all of it. Tune in for daily episodes that consistently argue you never graduate from needing this perspective, released every weekday at 8 am Mountain Standard Time. It's a steady, insightful companion for anyone considering how foundational beliefs might inform a meaningful, integrated life.
