d work of grace. This is
not an act of forgiveness or pardon, but a cleansing. It is not through
repentance, but consecration.

The Jewish economy contains types and shadows of this twofold salvation.
Egyptian bondage is typical of sin. Crossing the Red Sea is typical of
justification. Crossing the Jordan, that of sanctification. The Jewish
tabernacle consisting of the holy and most holy place is a shadow of the
spiritual tabernacle of God--the church. The disciples were saved men
before Pentecost. That was the date of their sanctification. In reading
the eighth chapter of Acts we learn at the fifth verse that Philip went
down to Samaria and preached Christ, and many believed. Evil spirits were
cast out and the palsied and lame were healed. They certainly were
Christians. Reading on to the fourteenth verse we learn that Peter and
John went down and prayed for them and they received the Holy Ghost. The
Holy Ghost is the sanctifier. Rom. 15:16. Cornelius was a devout Christian
man, fearing God, giving much alms to the people, and praying to God
always. He was directed in a vision by an angel of God to send to Joppa
for Peter. When Peter was come he preached unto them, and as he spoke the
Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. Acts 10th chapter. He
with his household were devout Christians before they received the Holy
Spirit--the sanctifier.

We will now quote a few texts of Scripture teaching two works of grace.
"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our
Lord Jesus Christ: by whom also we have access by faith into this grace
[sanctification] wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of
God." Rom. 5:1, 2. Paul says to the Gentiles that he was sent unto them
"to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the
power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and
inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me." Acts
26:18. "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to
his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the
Holy Ghost." Titus 3:5.

The Thessalonian brethren were abounding in faith and love and patience of
hope in Jesus; however Paul tells them that God wills their
sanctification. 1 Thes. 4:3. The apostle exhorts the Roman church to a
perfect consecration of life and all to God that they might "prove what is
that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
