ENTIRE SANCTIFICATION

God's Word Teaches: That entire Sanctification is a definite act of God's grace, subsequent to the New Birth, by which the believer's heart is purged and made holy. It cannot be attained progressively by works, struggle or suppression; but it is obtained by faith in the sanctifying blood of Jesus Christ. Holiness of life and purity of heart are central to Christian living (Luke 1:74-75; John 17:15-17; I Thessalonians 4:3, 7,8; 5:22-24; Ephesians 5:25-27; Hebrews 2:11; 10:10,14; 13:11-12; Titus 2:11-14; I John1:7; Hebrews 12:14; I Peter1:14-16).
