In 400-500 words, write practical explanations of the topics below in the same way you might actually explain it to a Christian counselee who is interested, but minimally familiar with these matters. It is crucial that this is not written like an essay or an academic paper, but in a pragmatic and conversational fashion. Include the following:

1. A practical biblical description of progressive sanctification and explanation of the key texts that describe this process
2. A practical description of the three steps of change: repentance/turning away from sin, trusting in Christ/genuine faith in the promises of God, and following Christ with faithful obedience
