How does Christ sanctify believers?

Answered in 1 source

Christ sanctifies believers by making them holy and set apart for God (1 Corinthians 1:30).

In Christ Jesus, believers experience sanctification, which involves being made holy and set apart for God's purposes. As stated in 1 Corinthians 1:30, Christ is made unto us sanctification, indicating that our holiness originates from Him. This means that sanctification is both positional and progressive; believers are declared holy in Christ while also being called to live out that holiness in their daily lives through the work of the Holy Spirit. Everything fruit of the Spirit and growth in godliness becomes a demonstration of this sanctifying work, underscoring the believer's reliance on Christ for both righteousness and holiness.
