The walk is sanctification, not salvation.Precisely.
Justification -- Christ's preordained, one-time sacrifice for the elect to make them acceptable to God by His righteousness alone.
Sanctification -- the indwelling Holy Spirit leading us to obedience, repentance and faith.
To get these confused is to misunderstand salvation entirely. Saved by grace alone through faith alone in the atonement and resurrection of Jesus Christ alone.

Thank you so much for your insights! I wonder if the problem with the term "sanctification" isn't exacerbated by our "instant gratification" society?
