'. . . a strangely relaxed kind of strenuousness . . .'That's how C. F. D. Moule (N. T. Wright's old doctoral supervisor) describes progressive sanctification. It's exactly right (Phil 2:12-13; 1 Cor 15:10; Col 1:29; 2 Tim 2:4 in the light of vv. 1, 8; 2 Pet 3:5-7 in the light of v. 9b).
--C. F. D. Moule, '"The New Life" in Colossians 3:1-17,' Review and Expositor 70 (1973): 482

Love this.
That's good. I sometimes think of sanctification, at its best, as a vigorous walk on one of those moving sidewalks at the airport.
