How do we know that faith is central to sanctification?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Jesus Christ is essential for understanding our role in sanctification as it recognizes His righteousness as our own.

Our role in sanctification hinges on faith. The Bible teaches that we are sanctified through belief in Jesus Christ. This faith acknowledges our inability to meet God's standard and accepts that Christ's righteousness is our sufficiency. As we grow in our understanding and trust of Him, we begin to embody the changes in mindset that align with His purposes for us. The continual act of believing in Christ is what produces the fruit of the Spirit in our lives, showcasing that our sanctification is ultimately a work of grace, not of our own works.
