What does the Bible say about self-sanctification?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible warns against self-sanctification, stating it leads to spiritual ruin as true sanctification comes only from God.

The Bible, particularly in Isaiah 66:15-18, warns that those who attempt to sanctify and purify themselves will face God's judgment. This is echoed in the New Testament, where self-righteousness is seen as a barrier to true faith. The message emphasizes that individuals cannot achieve holiness or purity through their own deeds but must rely solely on God’s grace and the cleansing power of Christ. The attempt to self-sanctify is fundamentally flawed as it denies the necessity of Christ's atoning work and elevates human efforts over divine grace.
