Most Christians believe that their sanctification is based upon their justification but functionally we live as if we base our justification on our sanctification. Let me tell you what I mean.
We know that we are saved by grace (justification) and there is nothing that we can do to earn our salvation. Our sanctification is also by grace because we are justified then we are sanctified. However,we base our justification on our sanctification. We feel that we are justified because we are living right rather than knowing that we are living right because we are justified. Hope that makes sense.
