Question 78: Whence arises the imperfection of sanctification in believers

1 min read · Chapter 78 of 196

‹ Previous Chapter Table of Contents Next Chapter ›

Answer: The imperfection of sanctification in believers arises from the remnants of sin abiding in every part of them, and the perpetual lustings of the flesh against the spirit; whereby they are often foiled with temptations, and fall into many sins, are hindered in all their spiritual services, and their best works are imperfect and defiled in the sight of God.
