To Be Sanctified - Apprehend Christ!

Louis Berkhof wrote:

"It deserves particular attention that, while even the weakest of faith mediates a perfect justification, the degree of sanctification is commensurate with the strength of the Christian's faith and the persistence with which he apprehends Christ."

Louis Berkhof, Systematic Theology (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1996), 537.
