How do we know justification and sanctification are true?

Answered in 2 sources

Justification and sanctification are true as evidenced by Scripture, particularly through the blood and water that flowed from Christ's side.

The truth of justification and sanctification is rooted in the Scriptures, especially as conveyed through the events of the crucifixion. In John 19:34, the outflow of blood signifies the full payment for sin, removing guilt, while the water symbolizes the impartation of a new, holy nature necessary for fellowship with God. Additionally, prophecies like those in Zechariah 12:10 affirm the significance of being washed and transformed. The assurance comes from the witness of the Holy Spirit, who testifies to our hearts of this divine truth.
