When looking at redemptive history or a biblical worldview we see that God is in a process of reformation. What was once created good has been corrupted by sin and evil. We are currently in the place of redemption. God is in the process of Sanctifying creation or making it holy. Sanctification is the process whereby the Holy Spirit, in and through the people of God, purifies creation from sin on the basis of Christ’s atonement and victory. That purifying activity is a process that brings an inner renewal and revitalization of God’s creatures, not just an external connection to the institutional church and its services of worship. The “Spirit of Holiness” seeks to permeate our creaturely lives, making a qualitative difference in the internal workings of family, business, art, government, and so on.

For a Christian, we see that everything has been distorted in one way or another by sin and evil. Christians have been called to have dominion over the earth in order to bring about renewal and reformation through the power of the Holy Spirit. We realize that every establishment needs internal renewal and structural reform. In this sense the Christian may never be satisfied with the achievements of any given economic or political or generally cultural state of affairs.
