What does the Bible say about being washed, sanctified, and justified?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that believers are washed, sanctified, and justified through the work of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 6:11).

According to 1 Corinthians 6:11, Paul states, 'And such were some of you; but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.' This passage emphasizes the transformative power of Christ in a believer's life. Being 'washed' signifies the complete removal of sin, 'sanctified' means being set apart for holiness, and 'justified' indicates that one is declared righteous before God. These aspects of salvation highlight the work of the Trinity — the Father who elects, the Son who redeems, and the Spirit who applies this salvation to individuals.
