What Is the Bible's Definition of Sanctification?

[xa]

thank you for explaining this in such an easy manner ~ may the precious Holy Spirit be with us South Africa

[bonjourbay]

Amen! Becoming like Christ, which is not by human efforts or merits but by the power and guidance of Holy Spirit.
Thank you!

Very nice - simplified. Interesting when you hear something and know you totally get it and do not need to look elsewhere for another definition.
Thanks

Amen.. so now I see what God was trying to tell me when he gave me the name, Jehovah Mekadesh. ♥️🔥🙌🏽 To God be the glory and Jesus name

I think of it as a finished process. You are made right in God's eyes. While He holds your hand, because you accept Him as a Father and trust.

Well said - we are transformed by the Holy Spirit by beholding Christ, not looking constantly at ourselves and our shortcomings and not by our self efforts of dead works / behavioral modification to the demands of the Law (the strength of sin). Sanctification is progressive in the sense of our realization of who we really are now in Him, walking in that knowledge and living by the righteousness of faith. Too bad this is really not the reformed church's focus.

More ministers need to speak on being washed, sanctified, justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6.11). Sometimes it feels like I have this wonderfully amazing Resource who is the Holy Spirit, but I'm not fully aware or educated on how to allow Him to work in my life. In addition, who really wants to deal with the stress, discomfort or pain one has to go through being transformed into the likeness of Christ? Well if we want to take up our on crosses, make our own sacrifices for God's glory... We do. Being in Christ means doing to selfish urges and desires. I recall watching videos of students during the civil rights movement preparing for sit ins. To prepare themselves to remain peaceful in all circumstances, students would subject themselves to people yelling, pushing, intimidating, humiliating them and they would sit quietly and peacefully. To not react, to not respond to moments that would otherwise make us angry and frustrated is hard, to respond in love even harder. Had to have been the Holy Spirit at work, transforming them into the image of Christ. Sometimes everyday life brings lesser testings than those the protesters went through interacting with other people on the roads, in public, and in private with family, friends and strangers.

The Catholic notion of Purgatory is the portion of the sanctification process that remains after the believer dies. And if this is not instantaneous, it makes sense that there is a special place in which this process finishes, as nothing impure can stand in God's presence in heaven.

[bereangirl]

We become sanctified when we become saved.

[echenduonyekachi]

A born again believer is sanctified by the dead and blood of jesus christ HE became saved, HE live a life of sanctification no more going back to sin SANCTIFICATION IS A LIFE STYLE that is why the HOLYSPIRIT will always convict you when you're about to sin as a believer HE tells you don't do this.

[jessie]

? Sanctification is an old hardly use word by young Pastors …. That’s news to me, I here yung Pastors use this to defined the difference between our salvation experience vs the transformation process

So in the Bible when God asks us to sanctify his name... He wants us to use his name to separate him from all of the false pagan gods, would that not be correct? Because to refer to the father most high as God or Lord or anything else someone could be confused as to which God you're talking about or Lord. Are you talking about neptune, Zeus Aphrodite or Aries etc. Even though there is still a debate about God's name and the Jews claim it's too sacred to say, Yahweh and Jehovah are as close as we can get seemingly. That in itself seems to be an adequate separation from any pagan God names. If you say Yahweh or Jehovah people will know which God you're talking about, the God of the Bible. I mean Yahweh knows every language. It may sound different coming from Mouths all over the world. My name is Jim but someone that has Spanish as a native language calls me Yim. As Christians we have to put forth more effort to do what is asking us instead of doing what we want to worship. Do you recall when the Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus and explain to him all of the things thay they had done in his name, and yet, Jesus told them that he did not know them. Just follow the directions people it's not that hard. Stop trying to make something that's extremely easy too hard.

[bobreese]

Definition is just a starting point..What is the SPECIFIC PROCESS that the HOLY SPIRIT uses to make a person righteous, separate them from sin and changes them to be like Christ/JESUS??

[kingben]

In sanctification is it synergism or monogyrsm
