The Meaning of Sanctification
Sanctification is a vital part of salvation. In Romans 12, Paul spoke of our worship and sacrifice to God, comparing sanctification to the burnt offerings of the Old Testament. He reminded readers that a believer’s life is to be completely and wholly devoted to God—an act of “spiritual worship.” Because Jesus satisfied the requirements of the sacrificial system once and for all by giving himself for our sins, we can trust that his sacrifice has secured not only our salvation but our sanctification. With our eyes fixed firmly on Christ, we can be confident that God is sanctifying us, making us more and more like a reflection of his son, Jesus.
