What does the Bible say about sanctification by the Holy Spirit?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that sanctification is the work of the Holy Spirit, setting believers apart for God's holy use as stated in 1 Peter 1:2.

Sanctification, according to 1 Peter 1:2, highlights that believers are 'elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father through sanctification of the Spirit.' This indicates that the Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in setting believers apart for God’s purposes. It is through His sanctifying work that they are prepared for obedience and made holy. This gift of sanctification is not something believers achieve on their own, but rather it is a divine act of grace whereby God consecrates them as His own, enabling them to grow in holiness and Christlikeness throughout their lives.
