But the ONLY thing "necessary for us to have eternal life" has been accomplished by Christ's death and resurrection.

So, we can enter heaven, into the throne room of God, without sanctification?

-A8

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Sanctification is the fruit of the Holy Spirit within us. It's not the reason for our salvation; it is a result of our salvation.

We are saved by only one means -- Christ's atonement on the cross for every sin you and I have ever committed and will ever commit.

"But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life." -- Titus 3:4-7
