BC day 55 and sanctifying grace

 
 
 

What is sanctifying grace? Sanctifying grace is that grace which confers on our souls a new life, that is, a sharing in the life of God Himself.

But to as many as received him he gave the power of becoming sons of God. (John 1:12)

What are the chief effects of sanctifying grace? The chief effects of sanctifying grace are:
  1. it makes us holy and pleasing to God;
  2. it makes us adopted children of God;
  3. it makes us temples of the Holy Ghost;
  4. it gives us the right to heaven.
Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone love me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our abode with him. (John 14:23)
