Already Sanctified: A Theology of the Christian Life in Light of God's Completed Work Paperback - 2020

by Don J. Payne


From the publisher

How does the doctrine of sanctification shape the Christian life? Offering a fully developed treatment of "accomplished" sanctification, Don Payne explains that the primary biblical focus in sanctification is not progressive growth but that which has already occurred for Christians to make growth possible, necessary, and grace-driven. As Payne explores the significance Scripture attributes to the accomplished aspect of sanctification, he helps us understand that we are already sanctified. Sanctification is not synonymous with transformation but undergirds strategies and resources related to Christian discipleship and formation.

From the rear cover

"Profound and important"

"Few doctrines have floated free from their biblical mooring as completely as the doctrine of sanctification. Payne responds by unveiling the biblical foundation and telos of sanctification, showing how its completed nature in Christ reveals its spiritual depths. This book helps to recover the best insights from the tradition while advancing them with constructive and pastoral sensitivity. Payne's account is profound and important."
--Kyle Strobel, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University

"In our age of tremendous and rightful interest in spiritual formation, Payne provides a fresh perspective on a theology of the Christian life in which transformation has a foundation in our union with, identity in, and abiding alongside Christ. This draws a stark contrast with such views of sanctification that end up throwing people back upon themselves with 'moralistic tones, ' in 'an overly anthropocentric direction, ' and fostering 'spiritual narcissism.' Pastors and laypeople will find this very accessible book provides a fresh perspective that is biblically rich, historically perceptive, and pastorally sensitive. This will be required reading on the Christian life."
--Christian D. Kettler, Friends University

"Don Payne's volume, at once theologically erudite and accessible, is an important contribution to practical Christian living today. It carefully and sensitively uncovers some common misunderstandings about the theological concept of sanctification, presents a careful reevaluation of the biblical teaching on the topic, and offers wise, practical steps for Christian transformation and discipleship. A must-read for seminary students and pastors, and highly recommended as a textbook for relevant seminary and undergraduate classes."
--Knut M. Heim, Denver Seminary

"While the post-Reformation church has given legitimate attention to the doctrine of justification, we may be guilty of treating sanctification as little more than a hopeful by-product of Christian conversion. Conversely, Payne calls us to deliberate on sanctification as an act of grace--bestowed upon us by the same God who justifies. He is not presenting a novel idea; instead, he is boldly highlighting and breathing life into an often-neglected idea. I commend this book to all who desire to know the identity that they inherited from Christ's completed work."
--Brandon Washington, The Embassy Church, Denver, Colorado
