Leading To Sanctification

Romans 6:19 (ESV Strong's)

I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

We have been washed clean of sin by the waters of our baptism in the death of Christ. We now are immersed in the righteousness of Christ that leads to the perfection of a pure life. This is the sanctification into the eternal life of God.
