What does the Bible say about sanctification in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Sanctification is God's act of setting apart believers for Himself, making them holy through Christ's atonement.

The Bible defines sanctification as God's work of setting apart individuals for His purposes, which was secured in Christ even before the foundation of the world. This sanctification is not about becoming progressively holy through personal efforts, but rather a completed action of God where believers are made holy through the blood of Christ. Scripture highlights that sanctification is a vital part of salvation, where the Holy Spirit works in the lives of believers to evidence their set-apart status as God’s children. Notably, passages like Jude 1 and 1 Corinthians 1:2 affirm that believers are sanctified by God and called to be saints, indicating their distinct and holy position in Christ.
