Course on Grace Part Two - A Grace Considered Intensively

Chapter VIII.
Sanctifying Grace
St. Thomas, following St. Augustine, declares that "the justification
of the ungodly … is greater than the creation of heaven and earth"

the other only natural, more glory is given to God in justification than by
all perfections of nature. Is justification, then, the greatest supernatural
work? No, the Incarnation of the Word and the beatification of the just in heaven are greater.
Causes of justification. What causes a sinner's justification? Many
causes conspire harmoniously to bring it about. The efficient cause is God,
the Triune God; its final cause is the glory of God and Christ and eternal life;
its meritorious cause is Christ; its instrumental cause is baptism; its formal
cause is sanctifying grace.
Nature of Sanctifying Grace. What is sanctifying grace? It has been
called the "masterpiece of God's handicraft in this world … far more
glorious than anything we can behold in the heavens above us or on the earth
at our feet." Is it just God's favor toward us, as Luther wanted? No, it
is much more. Is it God's life or nature or God's love, as some have called
it? No, for God's life and love and nature are uncreated, are God Himself. Sanctifying
