How does the laver represent sanctification?

Answered in 1 source

The laver represents the continual cleansing believers need through Christ’s blood for daily sanctification.

The laver, located outside the entrance to the holy place, signifies the need for continual washing, which reflects the ongoing sanctification of believers. Contrary to popular belief that suggests sanctification involves self-effort or gradual improvement, the biblical view emphasizes that it is through the blood of Christ that we are cleansed and made holy. 1 John 1:7 explains that the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin in the present tense. This highlights that sanctification is based entirely on Christ's work and not our own, indicating our dependence on Him for daily cleansing.
