Sanctification is that inward spiritual work in which the Lord Jesus Christ works in a man by the Holy Ghost, when He calls him to be a true believer, separates him from his natural love of sin and the world, puts a new principle in his heart, and makes him practically godly in life. The instrument by which. His Spirit effects this work is generally the Word of God, though He sometimes uses afflictions and providential visitations' 'without the Word.' The subject of this work of Christ by His Spirit, is called in Scripture a 'sanctified' man.
