Bro Bill, what is the big deal with salvation vs sanctification?

One of the greatest causes of confusion in Christianity is treating salvation (accepting Christ) and sanctification (following Christ) as though they are the same thing.
They are not. Salvation is God’s gift. Sanctification is our response. So, what is the best way to respond? Discipleship!!

Look, salvation answers: “How do I receive eternal life?” The answer is simple: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.

Discipleship answers: “Now that I have eternal life, how should I live?”The answer is: Follow Christ. You really can’t follow anything if you don’t know how. Discipleship teaches you how.

We are not saved by following Jesus. We follow Jesus because He has already saved us. Never reverse that order.

Believe first; Grow afterward.
Grace first; Obedience follows.
