We believe that sanctification is the divine setting apart of the believer unto God accomplished in a threefold manner: first, an eternal act of God based upon redemption in Christ establishing the believer in a position of holiness at the moment he trusts the Saviour; second, a continuing process in the saint as the Holy Spirit applies the Word of God to the life; third, the final accomplishment of this process at the Lord’s return.
