We make a big mistake when we conclude that the law is the answer to bad behavior. In fact, the law alone stirs up more of such behavior. People get worse, not better, when you lay down the law. To be sure, the Spirit does use both God's law and God's gospel in our sanctification. But the law and the gospel do very different things.
Sanctification consists of the daily realization that in Christ we have died, and in Christ we have been raised.
The heart of sanctification is the life which feeds on justification.
