Sanctification that follows salvation

When you are born again of the Spirit of God, the Spirit takes residence in you so that you become a new creation. This frees us from all kinds of sins so long as we are in the light, as Christ was in the light. This means that we must abide in Him and He in us to make our transformation complete. It is also the grounds for our testimony that once we were lost but now are found - once blind, but now we see.
