The word Sanctify, in the Bible, means to Be set apart for a special, holy purpose and to be dedicate to God's service; with a strong connection to holiness (holiness means to be set apart from evil for the Purpose of Good). Sanctification through Christ can be Explained in 3 parts. 1-Positional Sanctification: Happens the moment a person is saved. Because of Jesus' sacrifice, believers are declared "saints" and are permanently set apart for God's purposes (This being a 1 Time event). 2-Progressive (or developing) Sanctification: This being a perpetual event over a Life Time. Fueled by the Holy Spirit, one who believes grows Closer to Christ, by grace, which in turn moves us away from sin, and becoming more like Christ in our daily Life, our daily Thoughts and our daily Action. 3-Ultimate Glorification in Christ (Ultimate Sanctification): The completion of sanctification IS when Christ returns to retrieve His Church, believers will be made completely perfect and free from the very presence of sin. All this Happens not because of us, or anything we can do, BUT Because of the Love found in Christ and His Sacrifice on the Cross; which Brings Forth Holy Goodness in those who have called upon His Name for Redemption of sin; the fall from Grace that happened when Eve and Adam ate from the tree of the knowledge of Good and evil.
