Setting something apart as holy — dedicating it fully to God's purposes
lightbulbCon-SACRED-tion — making something sacred by setting it apart
To consecrate means to make something sacred, to set it apart from ordinary use for God's service. Priests were consecrated with elaborate rituals (Exodus 29). The firstborn were consecrated to God. Even utensils in the Temple were consecrated. In the NT, believers are called to consecrate themselves — Romans 12:1 urges presenting your body as a 'living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God.' It's the opposite of half-hearted faith.
