Evangelical Gospel
Salvation by justification alone – This is the belief that the ground of the Christian’s salvation is justifying righteousness only, as distinct from the transforming, empowering righteousness of regeneration and sanctification, which are seen by evangelicals as only the results of salvation.
Biblical Gospel
“God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth.” (2 Thess. 2:13).
Justification and sanctification are both necessary parts of one saving process. Justification is not more important than sanctification.
