Part 1 of a 3 part series. Sanctification is God’s will for us, that our trust become childlike and our love become wise. We are travelers on the road home whose center of gravity is shifting outside of ourselves. Sanctification, then, is not a self-improvement project. God is making you into a person who is more connected to others: joined to Jesus Christ and to your brothers and sisters. Part 1 of this series is in JBC 27:1, Part 2 in JBC 27:2 and Part 3 in JBC 31:1.

David Powlison served as CCEF’s executive director (2014-2019), a faculty member, and senior editor of the Journal of Biblical Counseling. He held a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania and an MDiv from Westminster Theological Seminary. David wrote extensively on biblical counseling and on the relationship between faith and psychology. His books Seeing with New Eyes and Speaking Truth in Love probe the implications of Scripture for how to understand people and how to counsel. The Biblical Counseling Movement: History and Context explores the background and development of CCEF’s mission. David is survived by his wife Nan, their three children and spouses, and seven grandchildren.
