SANCTIFICATION

'...the rate and depth at which progress in sanctification takes place is determined by the Holy Spirit, the resident counselor in every believer. The process cannot be rushed by overloading the conscience with the administration of the law. God will proceed at a rate and follow a course which are ideally suited to the individual, raising successive issues over the years and making a point of need for growth in one area after another. He seldom shows us all of our needs at once; we would be overwhelmed at the sight.'
Richard Lovelace, Dynamics of Spiritual Life, p.111.
