How do we know sanctification is part of salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Sanctification is essential to salvation because true believers are transformed and made holy by the work of the Holy Spirit.

Sanctification, the process of being made holy, is inseparable from justification in the life of a believer. Paul emphasizes in Galatians that if one believes their sanctification is partly their work, they fall from grace (Galatians 5:4). The Scriptures indicate that true faith will produce the fruit of sanctification as Christ is formed in us (Galatians 4:19). This understanding emphasizes that both justification and sanctification are fully the work of Christ and must be received by faith, aligning with the doctrine of TULIP — particularly the perseverance of the saints.
