Sanctification in Paul flows not from effort, but from union with Christ—a new identity that compels transformation by truth, not performance.
The Foundation of Sanctification: Identity in Christ – Colossians 3:1–4; Romans 6:11
Risen with Him: Participation in Resurrection Life Now – Romans 6:8–11; Colossians 3:1–4
Paul teaches that believers are already raised with Christ. This spiritual resurrection empowers a present life of moral renewal and obedience.
