The truth of sanctification is affirmed through Scripture, particularly in 2 Thessalonians 2:13 and Hebrews 10:14, which emphasize God's role in setting apart His elect.
We know that sanctification is true because it is rooted in God's revealed Word and His promises. As stated in 2 Thessalonians 2:13, God has chosen His people for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit. Hebrews 10:14 further illustrates this truth by declaring that through Christ's one offering, He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. It highlights that sanctification is not merely a human endeavor but a divine work that confidently assures believers of their standing before God.
