How does Hebrews define the role of Christ in our sanctification?

Answered in 1 source

Hebrews teaches that Christ sanctifies believers through His one-time offering, transforming us before God.

In Hebrews 10:10, it is stated that we are sanctified through the offering of Jesus Christ once for all. This sanctification is not an ongoing process tied to repeated sacrifices; rather, it is accomplished entirely by Christ's work on the cross. The sacrifice of Christ not only atones for sin but also sets apart the believer as holy before God. Consequently, our sanctification is both positional, being declared righteous, and practical, as we grow in holiness through the Holy Spirit's work in our lives. This understanding fosters a deep assurance for believers about their standing before God.
