How do we know sanctification is a divine act?

Answered in 1 source

Sanctification is known to be a divine act because it is God's work in the hearts of believers, accomplished through the Holy Spirit (Hebrews 10:10).

Sanctification is a vital aspect of salvation, and it is fundamentally a work of the Triune God. As highlighted in Hebrews 10:10 and 2 Thessalonians 2:13, believers are sanctified through the offering of Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit. This divine act demonstrates that sanctification is not a cooperative effort between God and man but solely God's work to set individuals apart for Himself. This understanding affirms that believers cannot achieve holiness through their efforts, as it is entirely reliant on God's grace and power.
