Hi,
OK so I know that one of the victories Christ won for us on the cross is sanctification and mortification of sin. To set us free from the power of sin.
So heres my question
did Christ win sanctification in some way on the cross for us and the Holy Spirit is just the one applying that (e.g. just like salvation, Christ died, shed his blood for us and the Holy Spirit applied that to us)
or
did it work like Christ removed the separation we had from God thus allowing the Holy Spirit to indwell us and it is the Holy Spirit who is the one doing the sanctification by himself, not applying sanctification from the cross work of Christ?
I want to know this because I don't know really what to do. Some people say the way to sanctification is trusting what Christ has done for us on the cross, that the cross is the way of sanctification.
Some people say the way to sanctification is reliance on the person of the Holy Spirit who indwells us to sanctify us and fill us.
Thanks a lot
Take Care
