How do we know sanctification is true in our lives?
Answered in 1 source
Sanctification is evidenced in the believer's life through the work of the Holy Spirit, producing true humility and a life set apart for God's purposes.
The truth of sanctification in a believer's life is manifested through the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. It becomes evident when one recognizes their position as a saint, not through their own merit, but by God's grace. This recognition leads to genuine humility, enabling the believer to rest in their identity as a child of God. Such transformation is reinforced by the truth of scripture, where believers are called to live holy lives, as outlined in 1 Corinthians 1:30, where Paul states that Christ has become our sanctification. A believer’s growth in holiness and obedience to God's commands further testifies to the work of sanctification in their heart.
