Sanctification & Christian Living

Judah 1 Statement of Faith

We believe in sanctification through the Word of God and the Holy Spirit, resulting in personal holiness, purity of heart, and godly living.

Sanctification is the lifelong work of God by which He makes believers more like Christ. Having been saved, we are called to grow — not earning God’s love, but living as those who have received it. God uses His Word to renew our minds and His Spirit to empower obedience, producing humility, integrity, compassion, and self-control.

Christian living flows from a changed heart: we pursue holiness in private and public, love our neighbors, forgive as we have been forgiven, and serve faithfully where God places us.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind...”

Romans 12:2 (ESV)

“Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.”

John 17:17 (ESV)

“For this is the will of God, your sanctification…”

1 Thessalonians 4:3 (ESV)

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.”

Galatians 5:22–23 (ESV)
