Sanctification is the gift of the Holy Ghost, the fruit of the Spirit, the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the prepared

perfection…
It is God’s great elevator carrying us up to the
higher chambers of His palace, without over-
laborious efforts, while others struggle up the
winding stairs and faint by the way.
