In this episode of Real Truth Matters Podcast, Michael Durham tackles common misconceptions about sanctification and offers biblical clarity on the believer's relationship with the Holy Spirit. Durham exposes unbiblical terminology like "dying to self" and "crucifying self" that has infiltrated Christian vernacular, while explaining the truth that believers are already new creations in Christ.
Rather than presenting sanctification as a constant struggle to become something we're not yet, it is demonstrated as the Spirit-empowered process of living from our true identity. Listeners will discover the divine partnership between the Holy Spirit and believers, practical steps for Spirit-led living, and the beautiful tension of our salvation's "already" and "not yet" aspects.
This episode provides a refreshing perspective on spiritual growth, emphasizing grace over striving and identity over performance. Whether you're a new believer or seasoned Christian, this teaching will deepen your understanding of how the Holy Spirit manifests Christ's life in and through you.
