Confessional Statescraft: From Christian Nationalism to Machen's Libertarianism w/ James Baird

Definitive Sanctification w/ Timothy Brindle
In this episode Brandon McLean Smith sits down with Timothy Brindle again to discuss the concept of Definitive Sanctification. Typically we think of sanctification as a long slow process of becoming more mature in our faith and more like Jesus. That's not a problematic way to understand sanctification, but behind that idea is what we call definitive sanctification. Definitive because in our union with Christ there was a definitive break with our sinful nature. There has been a breach with sin once and for all such that we are no longer ruled by our sin. We dive into the exegetical rationale for this concept as well as it's practical implications in the life of the believer.
