How do we know that believers are sanctified and called saints?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are sanctified and called saints through divine election, redemption by Christ, and the new birth by the Holy Spirit.

The sanctification of believers as saints is rooted in three foundational truths: divine election, redemption, and new birth. Firstly, God the Father has elected His people in Christ before the foundation of the world, setting them apart for His purposes (Jude 1:1). Secondly, believers are redeemed by the sacrificial blood of Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the law and purchased them for God (Hebrews 10:10). Lastly, the work of the Holy Spirit in regeneration produces a new birth, enabling the believer to live in holiness (2 Thessalonians 2:13). This triune work establishes the believer's identity as a saint, demonstrating that their sanctification is entirely by God’s grace.
