  2. Justification (theology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justification_(theology)

    Protestants believe justification is applied through faith alone and that rather than being made personally righteous and obedient, which Protestants generally delegate to sanctification as a distinct reality, justification is a forensic declaration of the believer to possess the righteousness and obedience of Christ.

  3. Sanctification in Christianity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctification_in_Christianity

    Sanctification is the Holy Spirit's work of making us holy. When the Holy Spirit creates faith in us, he renews in us the image of God so that through his power we produce good works. These good works are not meritorious but show the faith in our hearts (Ephesians 2:8-10, James 2:18). Sanctification flows from justification.

  4. Imputed righteousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imputed_righteousness

    The term "sanctification" was used to refer to the lifelong process of transformation.

  8. Imparted righteousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imparted_righteousness

    Imputed righteousness is the righteousness of Jesus credited to the Christian, enabling the Christian to be justified; imparted righteousness is what God does in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit after justification, working in the Christian to enable and empower the process of sanctification (and, in Wesleyan thought, Christian perfection).

  9. Protestant theologies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestant_theologies

    Individuals experience justification in the New Birth and then move on to sanctification, the experience in which they are made holy. [29] Good works, for Methodists, play an important role in sanctification, especially a careful keeping of the Ten Commandments, as well as practicing the Works of Piety and the Works of Mercy.
