The Law does not have the power to sanctify; that is the Holy Spirit's ministry as he operates in the gospel. But the Law sets forth the God-ordained pattern of righteous behavior thereby providing an objective standard for the Spirit-filled Christian so that he might know what God expects of him. Sanctification is not guided or governed by warm feelings, cultural mores, or doing-the-best-I-can. It is guided by the moral character of God revealed in his Word.
