How do we achieve sanctification according to the Bible?
Answered in 1 source
Sanctification is achieved through Christ, who makes us holy, and is rooted in our union with Him (1 Corinthians 1:30).
Scripture teaches that sanctification is not merely about moral improvement but is fundamentally about being made holy through our relationship with Christ. In 1 Corinthians 1:30, we see that Christ Jesus is our sanctification, meaning He is the source of our holiness. It is through Him that we are set apart for God's purpose. This process of sanctification involves the Holy Spirit working in us, transforming our hearts and minds to reflect the character of Christ. Thus, true sanctification is inherently linked to our faith in Jesus and our continual reliance on Him to purify us and shape our lives according to His will.
