Introduction:
Introduction:
Sanctification is necessary, it is a part of our redemption. Without sanctification one cannot be saved (insert Heb12:14; ref Jn17:17)
14 Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord.
Sanctify them in the truth, your word is true (ref: Jn17:17)
The product of salvation is sanctification, being set aside . consecrated for holy use. Consecrated in character and in conduct; so be holy (Ref: 1Pt1:15)

Outline:
Outline:
Man must be sanctified by God. (insert 1The5:22)
22 abstain from every form of evil.
Sanctified by the Spirit (ref: 2The2:13; 1Pt1:2)
Jesus is our righteousness and our sanctification (insert 1Cor1:30; ref Heb10:10, 13:12)
30 But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
God sanctifies those who are obedient (insert Heb2:11; 1Cor1:1-3)
11 For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,
Then
1 Paul, called as an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, 2 To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: 3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Sanctification is a result of our union with Christ (consider Rom6:11-11; insert 6:17-19)
17 But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.
Man must be sanctified to a new way of life in Christ
It is affirmed by God’s word (insert Rom6:19; Heb12:14)
19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.
Then
14 Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord.
Gods will for you to be sanctified (ref: 1The4:3-4)
Sanctification is applied by Christians through their commitment.
Growing in the word of grace and knowledge
Truth of the word in you (ref: Jn17:17) (insert Jn17:19)
19 “For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
Putting the flesh to death to walk in the Spirit (ref: 1Pt3:17; Act20:32)
Walking after the spirit in the spiritual things
Sanctified by the Spirit (ref: Rom15:16; 2The2:13; Eph5:25-26; Col1:22; insert 1Cor6:11; 1Pt1:2; Act26:18)
11 Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
then
2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace be yours in the fullest measure.
then
18 to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.’
Conclusion
Conclusion
Sanctification comes through Christ (ref: 1Cor1:30; Col1:22-23)
Sanctification is also the process we grow spiritually (Rom6:19; 2The2:13; Rom8:1-17)
Sanctification is the result of being born again (ref: 1Jn3:9-14; insert Rom6:1-4)
1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.
Issue the challenge, are you walking in the newness of life; are you teaching others to do this?
Sanctification is evidenced by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (ref: 1Cor6:11; Rom8:9, 14; Gal5:22-25)
Sanctification is dependent on knowing and applying the truth (ref: Jn17:17; Php1:9-11; insert Col1:9-14)
9 For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously 12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light. 13 For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Sanctification is absolutely essential to be in union, communion, fellowship with God, for without it no one will see God (Ref: Heb12:14, 1Jn3:3; insert Mt7:21-23)
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23 “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’
