Introduction: Romans chapters 6, 7 and 8 theologically describe the process of sanctification.
Beginning with our death to sin and union to God and ending with our victorious life in Christ Jesus.

What is Sanctification?
Sanctification — the act of becoming more personally dedicated to God; especially by becoming more distinct, devoted, or morally pure.
An easier way of thinking about sanctification is: Set Apart
There’s that idea of being justified again.
We are declared righteous by the Lord Jesus Christ.
Why is sanctification important?
If there is no sanctification there is no change.
The work of the Holy Spirit brings about the change in our lives that is necessary to remove us from the kingdom of darkness and place us in the kingdom of Light.
The greater the sanctification the farther from sin we grow.
The greater the sanctification the closer to Christ Jesus we grow.
There are three levels of sanctification:
Positional, Progressive, Final
Positional
When we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior we receive positional sanctification in Him.
He purchased us with His blood - His Spirit in us sanctifies us.
Sanctification separates us from sin.
Then we are dedicated to God.
Progressive
Becoming like Christ.
Love like Christ.
Act like Christ.
Think like Christ.
But how does progressive sanctification take place?
A. B. Simpson used the term a Crisis of Faith.
When we come to the end of ourselves, ashamed of the things we do and we want to change.
We want to stop sinning and stop presenting our members to unrighteousness.
At this point we must Surrender to Christ Jesus.
We must turn it over to Him.
Only through the power of the Holy Spirit in us will we be able to break the bondage to the sin and tear down the stronghold which threatens to tear us apart.
Final
We will be made like Christ when we are removed from the presence of sin.
When He returns or when we go home to be with Him we will be like Him.
This is the point where our mortality is shed and our immortality is taken on.
There is no sin in heaven so we are removed from it and made like Christ Jesus.
That’s enough book learning.
Let’s look at this idea in a practical way - using rocks.
