05-Progressive Sanctification

Covenant and new-covenant theologians are agreed that a
believer must show his justification and positional sanctification
by a life of godliness, Christ-likeness; in other words, he must, by
his life before others – that is, by his progressive sanctification –
show his standing before God. Covenant theologians, however,
following Calvin, think this is produced by the whip of the law,
the law driving the believer, as a lazy ass, to the perfect rule of
the law.
