What does the Bible say about our sanctification?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that our sanctification is in Christ, not based on our actions.

In 1 Corinthians 1:2, Paul addresses the believers in Corinth as those sanctified in Christ Jesus, highlighting that their sanctification is a gift from God, not dependent on their works. This emphasizes that no matter how serious the issues in their church were, their identity as sanctified saints remained secure in Christ. This foundation of acceptance and sanctification rests on God's sovereign grace, which imparts to believers a new identity that doesn’t rely on their behavior, thereby reminding us that our standing before God is rooted solely in the finished work of Christ.
