what is meant by sanctification in the bible
Sanctification Sanctification is the act or process of acquiring sanctity, of being made or becoming holy.[1][full citation needed] It is a gift given through the power of God to a person or thing which is then considered sacred or set apart in an official capacity within the religion. In general anything from a temple, to vessels, to days of the week, to a human believer who willingly accepts this gift can be sanctified.[citation needed] To sanctify is to literally "set apart for particular use in a special purpose or work and to make holy or sacred."[this quote needs a citation] Etymologically, "sanctify" derives from the Latin verb sanctificare which in turn derives from sanctus "holy" and facere "to make".[citation needed]
