among them
which are sanctified by faith that is in me."--Acts 26:18.
"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our
Lord Jesus Christ: by whom also we have access by faith into this grace
wherein we stand."--Rom. 5:1, 2.
Faith in the blood of Christ. "Wherefore Jesus also, that he might
sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the
gate."--Heb. 13:12. "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light,
we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his
Son cleanseth us from all sin."--1 John 1:7.
Dead to sin by faith. "Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with
him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should
not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin ... Likewise reckon

through Jesus Christ our Lord."--Rom. 6:6, 7, 11.

servants of righteousness ... For as ye have yielded your members
servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield

the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall
be free indeed."--John 8:34-36.
