How do we know that sanctification is essential for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Sanctification is essential as it signifies the believer's transformation and new life in Christ.

Sanctification is a vital aspect of the Christian experience, as outlined in 1 Peter 1:2, where it states that the elect are chosen 'in sanctification of the Spirit.' This process is where the Holy Spirit separates and sets apart the believer for God's purposes, making them holy. In other words, sanctification indicates that the believer has been made a new creation, with a new nature that desires to glorify God. It's not just a one-time event but an ongoing process where God's grace empowers the believer to live in accordance with His will, highlighting the importance of holiness in the life of a Christian.
