"Christians are fully justified in Christ and therefore righteous before God; but they are still sinners in themselves and need to repent daily. It is in this space between “already” and “not yet” that faith is exercised and grace is experienced."
"Justification addresses the issue of identity, while sanctification deals with the life process; the struggle is not because salvation is unreal, but because salvation has already begun to take effect."
"We are justified by God's grace through faith in Christ; and through our obedient lives, we allow others to see that Christ's righteousness is real in us."
