Justification, Sanctification, Redemption, Part 2

Justification, Sanctification, Redemption, Part 2

All who are called may take the second step—SANCTIFICATION To sanctify is to set apart or separate to a special thing or use.

T. Russell. And when these three compartments in the Great Pyramid are compared with the Chart of the Ages (Plate V), they are found to correspond respectively with the plane…
