David Gay has written this booklet as a follow-up to his ‘Fivefold Sanctification’, in which he set out the five aspects of sanctification: purposed, accomplished, positional, progressive and absolute. Why this second title? Gay is convinced that many believers do not appreciate their glorious standing in Christ – their positional sanctification – and, as a result, do not consciously enjoy the benefits which flow to them through it. To try to rectify this sad lack, Gay concentrates on two leading uses of the believer’s positional sanctification; namely, the part it plays in both the believer’s assurance and his progressive sanctification. The first is important because many believers, alas, do not experience biblical assurance. Instead, taking the Reformed line, they look to their works under the law for their assurance. And as for the second, some teach that progressive sanctification does not exist! Gay hopes his booklet may do something to help believers on both counts.
