Question 51


Modern Adaptation

Question: What is sanctification?

Answer: It is God making sinners holy in thought and action.


Traditional Formulation

Question: What is sanctification?

Answer: It is God’s making sinners holy in heart and conduct.


Adaptation Commentary

See question 45 for adapting “God’s”. Additionally, we simplify “heart and conduct” to “thought and action”. Regeneration is typically what is closely connected with a “changed heart”, so the simplifying of the word “heart” is not of particular theological importance in this case.
