Q. Is there nothing that God by Jesus Christ worketh out of Believers for their Sanctification?
A. Yes; And among other things, God will not suffer them to be tempted above that they are able, but will with the Temptation also make a way to escape, that they may be able to bear it. 1 Cor. 10.13.
Q. What in this Work of Sanctification is peculiar to Christ?
A. He gave himself for the Church, that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of Water by the Word. And he ever liveth to make intercession for us. Ephes. 5.25, 26. Heb. 7.25.
