“Sanctification is the art of getting used to your justification" - Gerhard Forde
When you know who you are, you know what to do. When who you are is made new, you need to adapt to a new way of doing things. Sanctification is the process of dying to your old self (mortification) and coming alive to your new self (vivification) as you learn to be who you now are in Christ. It is not merely becoming who you ought to be in Christ, but being who you already are in Christ. It is not simply preparing to get your driver's license, but learning how to handle the privileges and responsibilities of being legally allowed to drive.
