What does the Bible say about sanctification in Christ?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that believers are sanctified in Christ and called to be saints, receiving grace and peace from God.

Sanctification in Christ is a central theme in Scripture, particularly highlighted in 1 Corinthians 1:2, where Paul addresses the church as those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be saints. This notion of sanctification underscores that believers are set apart by God through His grace and are positioned in a state of holiness, not as a result of their own works, but through the redemptive work of Christ. Romans 8:30 further affirms this by linking glorification with being called and justified, indicating that God's sovereign grace plays an essential role throughout the process of salvation. It assures believers of their continuous sanctification through the Holy Spirit, who empowers them to live righteously as they await the coming of Christ.
