What Sanctification Is Not (part 4)

5. Sanctification is not self-perfection.  We shall never become so inherently good that there will be no possibility or temptation to sin.   We shall never reach a place where we shall not need each moment to abide in Him...  The moment you or I become conscious that we are strong or pure, that instant the work of disintegration begins.  It has made us independent of Him, and we have separated ourselves from the life of Christ.

-- A.B. Simpson, The Four-fold Gospel
