Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

 (Rom 4:5b) “…believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”   Some struggle with the difference between being already justified and thus positionally saved and holy (sanctified) in Him and on the other hand: (1Th_4:4) “That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;” Here’s the difference. Being placed “in Him” is God’s action of saving me; my seeking to live right before Him (be sanctified) is my action towards or before Him. The one does not affect the other. They are two different objectives.
