What Are the Stages of Sanctification?

It has a definitive beginning at regeneration (Moral Change)

Titus 3:4–7 (NASB 2020)

4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, 5 He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we did in righteousness, but in accordance with His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom He richly poured out upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

1 John 3:9 (NASB 2020)

9 No one who has been born of God practices sin, because His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin continually, because he has been born of God.

It increases throughout the life of the believer (Partnership with the Holy Spirit and application of God’s word)

Romans 6:11–13 (NASB 2020)

11 So you too, consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12 Therefore sin is not to reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, 13 and do not go on presenting the parts of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead, and your body’s parts as instruments of righteousness for God.

It is completed at death (for our souls) and when the Lord returns (For our bodies)

1 John 1:8 (NASB 2020)

8 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.

Hebrews 12:23 (NASB 2020)

23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,

Revelation 21:27 (NASB 2020)
