How do we know that sanctification is a part of salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Sanctification is a definitive work of God whereby He sets us apart in Christ for His purpose, indicating our union with Him.

Sanctification is a crucial component of salvation, distinctly highlighted in 1 Corinthians 1:30, where Paul states that Jesus Christ is made unto us sanctification. This means that through Christ, we are set apart for God's purposes, reflecting a transformation that is at work within us. The Holy Spirit sanctifies us at conversion, and this progression continues throughout our lives as we grow in grace and maturity. The call to live in accordance with our sanctified status is essential, emphasizing that while our moral perfection is not yet realized, we are considered holy before God because of our position in Christ.
