Hindrances to Santification

Hindrances to growth in grace:

1. A defect in our belief in the freeness of divine grace
2. A lack of obedience to Christ in every area of life
3. A lack of intentionality and specificity about spiritual growth. We make general resolutions but never carry them out.
4. A lack of specific application of Scripture in dealing with sin in our lives
5. A lack of growing in the practical knowledge of Scripture
