My understanding of sanctification is that it is the process of becoming holy. If through discipline and self-control we train ourselves to think of others first and obey our moral sense it seems to me that this <em>is</em> sanctification. After reading your formula above (obedience->Holy Ghost->sanctification) I can't tell where we differ. Jared,
