The third degree of the Declaration of Gods love is sanctification.1
- 1The third degree of the Declaration of Gods love.
By it we are delivered from the Tyranny of sin, and by little and little renewed in holiness, & righteousness, 1 Joh. 3. 9. Rom. 8. 1.
The parts of sanctification are first mortification.
By this the power of sin is abated, and sin is killed in the faithful, Rom. 6. 2, 3. 4. Gal. 5. 24. Mortification is wrought in us by the power of the holy Spirit, abolishing sin in us, and regenerating, or renewing our spirits.
