Misused terms: Justification VS Sanctification

[Hal]

• 

I see these two terms continuingly missed used and I am guilty of it myself.

Look at Justification as a pardon or having your fine pay for by someone else. The previously guilty sinner is pronounced free.

Sanctification is the act of being cleansed and transformation to becoming righteous before God. Becoming holy.

Can you Add the word regeneration to that?

And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. (Matthew 19:28 KJVA)

I think this is the total process from repentance to resurrection. 


From Strong's numbers.
