Greetings, The word sanctified comes to us in the Old testament from the Hebrew word QADASH and Strong’s defines it as a primitive root; to be (causat. make, pronounce or observe as) clean (ceremonial or moral) appoint, bid, consecrate, dedicate, defile, hallow, (be, keep) holy (er, place), keep, prepare, proclaim, purify, sanctify (ied one, self), wholly. In the New Testament the Koine Greek word is from the word HAGIAZO ; from Greek 40 (hagios); to make holy, i.e. (ceremony) purify or consecrate; (mentally) to venerate , hallow, be holy, sanctify. It is the same root word from which the word saint is derived. I.E. The special individuals who are the set apart ones through faith in Jesus Christ the Son of God. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Dear coastlineinc, Great question! Let me first give you what I believe is a very good definition from Easton,s Bible Dictionary: Sanctification - involves more than a mere moral reformation of character, brought about by the power of the truth: it is the work of the Holy Spirit bringing the whole nature more and more under the influences of the new gracious principles implanted in the soul in regeneration. In other words, sanctification is the carrying on to perfection the work begun in regeneration, and it extends to the whole man (Rom. 6:13; 2 Cor. 4:6; Col. 3:10; 1 John 4:7; 1 Cor. 6:19). It is the special office of the Holy Spirit in the plan of redemption to carry on this work (1 Cor. 6:11; 2 Thess. 2:13). Faith is instrumental in securing sanctification, inasmuch as it (1) secures union to Christ (Gal. 2:20), and (2) brings the believer into living contact with the truth, whereby he is led to yield obedience "to the commands, trembling at the threatenings, and embracing the promises of God for this life and that which is to come." Perfect sanctification is not attainable in this life (1 Kings 8:46; Prov. 20:9; Eccl. 7:20; James 3:2; 1 John 1:8). See Paul's account of himself in Rom. 7:14-25; Phil. 3:12-14; and 1 Tim. 1:15; also the confessions of David (Ps. 19:12, 13; 51), of Moses (90:8), of Job (42:5, 6), and of Daniel (9:3-20). "The more holy a man is, the more humble, self-renouncing, self-abhorring, and the more sensitive to every sin he becomes, and the more closely he clings to Christ. The moral imperfections which cling to him he feels to be sins, which he laments and strives to overcome. Believers find that their life is a constant warfare, and they need to take the kingdom of heaven by storm, and watch while they pray. They are always subject to the constant chastisement of their Father's loving hand, which can only be designed to correct their imperfections and to confirm their graces. And it has been notoriously the fact that the best Christians have been those who have been the least prone to claim the attainment of perfection for themselves.", Hodge's Outlines. Looking up the referenced texts would provide a wonderful Bible study. I look forward to hearing what you discover. God Bless, John Reformed |

Hi John, For starters, I didn’t ask the question but was just trying to be accommodating and secondly, I am aware of what sanctification is. It appears that the one who presented the question wasn’t getting any response and it was their first question on the forum. Thanks anyway, CDBJ |
