Sanctification

"Sanctification" by Edward Hoare is a religious treatise written in the late 19th century. This work, based on sermons delivered by Hoare during his ministry, focuses on the concept of sanctification as understood within the context of Scripture and Anglican teaching. Hoare aims to clarify the doctrine of sanctification, exploring its various dimensions, including separation unto God, cleansing through the blood of Christ, and the transformative journey towards personal holiness. At the start of the text, the author introduces the theme of sanctification, highlighting the contemporary desire among believers to attain a higher standard of Christian holiness. He reflects on the struggles faced by Christians striving for holiness and the humility that accompanies their awareness of sin. Hoare emphasizes the necessity of understanding the biblical meanings of sanctification, notably the distinction between being set apart by God, the legal cleansing associated with Christ's sacrifice, and the ongoing process of personal holiness. The opening sets a tone of earnest exploration and invites readers to delve deeper into the significance of sanctification in the life of a believer. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
