Why is sanctification by grace important?

Answered in 1 source

Sanctification is vital because it is God's work in believers, setting them apart for His purpose, and is accomplished by grace, not human effort.

Sanctification refers to the process by which God sets apart believers for His service and transforms them into the likeness of Christ. It is essential to understand that sanctification is also by grace, underscoring that it is not achieved through human works. Scriptures such as 1 Thessalonians 5:23 affirm that God Himself is involved in the sanctification of believers, highlighting that this transformation is a divine act. Without recognizing grace in sanctification, one may mistakenly believe it relies on personal effort, undermining the complete saving work of Christ.
