Redemption provides the basis for our sanctification, allowing us to be set apart as holy through Christ's sacrifice (Hebrews 10:10).
Redemption and sanctification are deeply interrelated in the Christian faith. Redemption, which refers to the purchase or deliverance from sin through the sacrifice of Christ, is foundational for our sanctification—the process of becoming holy. Hebrews 10:10 states that it is through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ that we are sanctified. This means that because of the redeeming work of Christ, we are not only forgiven but also empowered to live a life set apart for God’s purposes. Without redemption, there would be no sanctification, as it is through being bought with a price that we are made into a new creation capable of bearing the image of Christ in our lives.
