What does the Bible say about being sanctified in Christ Jesus?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that believers are sanctified in Christ, set apart by God's grace and made holy through His sacrifice.
Sanctification in Christ Jesus is a primary theme in the New Testament. As seen in 1 Corinthians 1:2, Paul addresses believers as those 'sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints.' This means that through Christ's sacrificial work, we are set apart for God's purposes and declared holy. This sanctification is rooted in God's electing grace before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4) and is manifested in our spiritual regeneration and faith in Christ. The process of sanctification involves being made new creations in Christ, whereby we receive a new divine nature that allows us to grow in holiness and obedience to God.
