Too often sanctification is a forgotten blessing because we forget why we have been sanctified. Sanctification has to do with God setting our lives apart for his use. When God sent his Son into the world, he sanctified Jesus to do his will. Doing the Fathers will was the purpose of Christ coming. That was Jesus' calling.
Christian sanctification is used in three ways.
First sanctification refers to our position before God. Our sanctification begins in the heart of God and not in the will of men. God has chosen to give us perfect standing before him. God has counted us righteous as a result of Christ s sacrifice. Our position before God is the result of his love and forgiveness.
