True Righteousness By Faith: Jacob says...

True Righteousness by Faith is BOTH Justification & Sanctification

Or as Jacob put it-

And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go,

and will give me bread to eat, (Sanctification-remember that we are "sanctified" by the bread of His Word. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. John 17:17)


and raiment to put on, (Justification-covered by His robe of righteousness. Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment. Zechariah 3:3,4)

Genesis 28:20
