    How far can a Christian go with sanctification?

    Greetings everyone, Thanks for the responses! Detesting sin. The more I learn of what of sinful, and why, the less I want to have anything to do with it whatsoever - not just in action, but in thought too. Paul. :)

    How far can a Christian go with sanctification?

    Greetings, How far can a Christian go with sanctification in this lifetime? Is there a limit or upper ceiling as to how holy a person can become? Are there any good writers, or Bible verses, on this topic? Many thanks, Paul.

    Greetings all
