What really happened when you were saved?
For many Christians, salvation means forgiveness of sins and the promise of heaven. But what if salvation provided far more than we have understood? What if God has already placed within every born-again believer the power necessary for genuine transformation?
In *Sanctification: Unpacking the Power of Salvation*, Jesse Knight explores the biblical process of sanctification and the powerful work God begins in the believer through the new birth. Drawing from Scripture, Knight examines the three-part nature of humanity-spirit, soul, and body-and shows how understanding the difference between them can change the way believers approach spiritual growth.
At salvation, something extraordinary takes place. The believer becomes a new creation in Christ. The born-again spirit is made new, righteous, and complete in Him. Yet many Christians continue to struggle in their thoughts, emotions, habits, desires, and everyday lives. Why?
*Sanctification* explores the distinction between the completed work that has already taken place within the believer's spirit and the continuing transformation of the soul. Rather than presenting holiness as the product of religious performance or human willpower, Knight points readers toward cooperation with the indwelling Holy Spirit-the One who empowers genuine transformation from the inside out.
Throughout this book, readers will explore the renewal of the soul, the hidden person of the heart, spiritual perception, the condition of the heart, the operation of faith, the believer's identity in Christ, and the work of the Holy Spirit in conforming believers to the image of Christ.
The Christian life was never intended to be an exhausting attempt to become through human effort what God has already made available through Christ. There is a divine working within every believer waiting to affect every area of life.
Salvation is more than a destination. It contains the power for transformation.
