We believe in the sanctification of the believer, who is set apart for the Master’s use. The believer is positionally sanctified at the moment of salvation and progressively sanctified through the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit. The believer will one day be perfectly sanctified when freed from the sinful nature and given a glorified, eternal body.
