The Pursuit of Godliness argues that holiness or sanctification is
not something that someone achieves, but entails something a person
becomes. Donald L. Alexander defines sanctification as God's taking
possession of people in Christ and setting them apart by restoring
the character traits originally present in the creature created in
God's image. He derives evidence from the Bible that this
restoration lies in the fruit of the Spirit and that Christ died
not only to bring an end to sin but also to bring about a newness
of life. Alexander places the biblical teaching on sanctification
within the context of personal spiritual maturity, rather than as
an obligation to fulfill specific religious requirements. He
suggests that a developmental connection exists between spiritual
formation and personal maturity. This approach connecting
sanctification with personal development brings about a new and
suggestive understanding of sanctification.
