Homiletical Proposition/Application:
Introduction: Sanctification is a Team Sport
Image: Running a relay race
I enjoy running! In school I ran track, I was never really good, but I did enjoy being on a relay team. Running on a relay team was a lot of fun because each individual matters but also the team matters. If you never train, ignore your diet, and stay up all night before the race then you are going to disappoint your team. On the other hand, if everyone on the team works hard and trains well then even if one person has a bad day, the rest of the team will support that one person and victory can still be achieved.
I think this is very similar to what we call sanctification (the process of becoming more and more like Christ). We are in this together, we are a team, but we also have individual responsibilities.
