Very accurate analysis by
Abbot Tryphon

Sanctification
Sanctification Refers to Becoming Christ-like Through Theosis

The Orthodox understanding of salvation, with its emphasis on the process of becoming united to God through deification, clearly departs from the view held by evangelicals, with their emphasis on change that begins with the moment they begin to believe. Whereas the evangelical understanding of righteousness consists largely of elements related to justification, having to do with the righteousness of Christ. We Orthodox understand salvation consists almost exclusively of elements related to the process of sanctification (becoming Christ-like).

Justification is not a separate act of God but rather the salvation in Christ, which frees us from sin, death, and the devil. Sanctification is the positive aspect of God’s saving act. Spiritual growth is found in our new life in Christ communicated by God’s Holy Spirit. It is the process of spiritual growth for the Christian, for justification does not even include the idea of being declared righteous at the beginning of faith, an idea embraced by virtually all evangelicals. The great Orthodox theologian Florovsky explains this more completely when he critiques Luther’s view of justification (a view which the majority of evangelicals follow). Florovsky wrote, ‘For Luther “to justify” meant to declare one righteous or just, not “to make” righteous or just—it is an appeal to an extrinsic justice which in reality is a spiritual fiction".

For evangelicals the issue of a person’s status before God is one of the most critical of all questions. To Orthodox, this question hardly arises at all, in light of the overriding emphasis on the process of actually becoming righteous through theosis. The Orthodox conception of Christian life is substantially different from that which is common in the West. To evangelicals, the most important element of salvation is acceptance before God (or being declared righteous). For evangelicals this is accomplished at the beginning of faith, and the process of sanctification grows out of this change in position before God. To the Orthodox (to the Apostolic Church), the process of sanctification or deification is the means to the ultimate goal of union with God.

With love in Christ,
Abbot Tryphon
