What is sanctification?

So what is sanctification exactly? If asked for a definition, could you give one? Christians lead lives of faith trusting in this core principle, even though they may not entirely understand what it means or what it looks like in daily life.

Sanctification defines and explains what sanctification means in easy-to-understand terms. It also examines the contrast between justification and sanctification—as well as why sanctification is dependent upon justification—and why it all matters for the Christian.

In this book, you'll gain a better understanding of what the Bible teaches about sanctification and how it impacts your daily life as a Christian.

The People's Bible Teachings is a series of books on all the main teachings of the Bible. Following the pattern set by The People's Bible series, these books are written for all Christians in an easy-to-read manner. The authors of The People's Bible are all pastors and professors who have had years of experience teaching others about the Bible.
