One way is through personal submission to God’s word and submitting our will to his will. A person can become sanctified through confessing sins and becoming cleansed from sins through prayer and fasting. In Matthew 3:11 Jesus said “I baptize you with water for repentance.” He also said “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved.” This verse means if we believe and we repent from our sins we will be justified by Jesus Christ and we will receive eternal life in heaven. Another way is through personal submission to God’s word and becoming righteous by our own actions and words. A person can become sanctified by practicing righteousness by living in obedience to God’s word and not sinning against him. This includes confessing our sins to God, praying, reading his word, listening to his word, obeying him and doing his word, sharing his word with others and not judging others and living according to his word.
