Q. 75. What is Sanctification?
A. Sanctification is a work of Gods grace, whereby they whom God hath before the foundation of the world chosen to be holy, are in time through the powerful operation of his spiritb, applying the death and resurrection of Christ unto themc, renewed in their whole man after the image of Godd, having the seeds of repentance unto life, and of all other saving graces put into their hearts4, ⟨p. 103⟩and those graces so stirred up, increased and strengthenedf, as that they more and more die unto sin, and rise unto newness of lifeg.
