26 mentions across 16 books
Salvation is instant; sanctification is the lifelong journey after. The Holy Spirit works in believers to gradually transform their character, desires, and habits to look more like Jesus.
Sanctification is invoked here as the direct result of Jesus's once-for-all offering — the author declares that believers have been made holy not through their own effort or repeated ritual, but through Christ's single act of willing obedience.
God's Discipline Is Love, Not PunishmentHebrews 12:4-11Sanctification is invoked to explain why God's discipline is uncomfortable but purposeful — the painful process of being shaped into Christlikeness is the context that makes hardship make sense.
The Founder of Our SalvationHebrews 2:10-13Sanctification is introduced here as a shared-origin process — both Jesus and the people being made holy come from the same source, making holiness a family resemblance, not an external program imposed from above.
Sanctification here refers to the specific consecration process that sets the Aaronic priests apart for Temple service — the sacred boundary Uzziah crosses by assuming he can do what only they are appointed to do.
The Mass Invite2 Chronicles 30:1-5Sanctification is relevant here as the ritual preparation the priests failed to complete on time — their lack of consecration triggered the need to reschedule the Passover.
Sanctification is the quiet promise embedded in the chapter's final verse — even the spiritually confused and resistant will eventually be brought to understanding, affirming that God's transforming work is gradual but unstoppable.
The Branch of the LordIsaiah 4:2-4Sanctification is what God is doing to the survivors in verses 3–4 — purifying them through judgment and burning, not to destroy them but to make them fit for His presence.
Sanctification is named here as the ongoing process behind 'working out' salvation — God is actively shaping believers into who He declared them to be.
Press On — You're Not Done YetPhilippians 3:12-14Sanctification is the ongoing journey Paul describes in these verses — the active, forward-straining process of becoming what Christ has already declared him to be, neither finished nor stagnant.
Sanctification is the framework behind Peter's seven-rung ladder of virtues — the ongoing process of spiritual growth from faith through love that he describes as both purposeful and sequential.
