How does sanctification work in believers?

Answered in 1 source

Sanctification is how believers are made holy through the work of Christ and the Holy Spirit.

The process of sanctification is rooted in the believer's union with Christ. Hebrews 10:10 states that we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. This means that while we are positionally holy because of Christ, there is also a progressive aspect where we are being made holy in our daily lives. The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in this process, empowering believers to grow in holiness and conform to Christ's image. As we live by faith, yielding to the Spirit’s leading, we exhibit the fruits of sanctification. Ultimately, sanctification assures believers that they are being transformed into the likeness of Christ, evidence of their salvation.
