Holiness: Sanctification
There are three things that the Bible says are absolutely necessary for salvation are justification, regeneration, and sanctification. If you do not have these three then you are not a Christian in the sight of God. The Nature of Sanctification Sanctification is the inward spiritual work that Jesus works in a person by the Holy Spirit when they become a true believer. Jesus cleanses believers from their sins, separates them from their natural love of sin and the world, puts a new standard in their hearts, and makes them practically godly. Jesus’ death not only delivered believers from the guilt of sin (justification) but also the dominion of their sin (sanctification) by placing the Holy Spirit in them.
