What does the Bible say about our sanctification in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that our sanctification is in Christ Jesus, not dependent on our works, as Paul emphasizes in 1 Corinthians 1:2.

In 1 Corinthians 1:2, Paul addresses the believers in the Corinthian church as 'sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be saints.' This indicates that their sanctification rests solely in Christ, irrespective of their human failings. If sanctification could be lost based on our actions, the flawed church at Corinth would have forfeited it. However, Paul assures them that they remain called to be saints, signifying the unchanging nature of God's grace at work in their lives. Therefore, sanctification, like justification, is a gift from God, maintained in Christ alone and not by our own works.
