Old Testament Meaning

qadash (kaw-dash) it means to hallow; to dedicate; to ָק�ַד�ׁש�purify; to make holy; to prepare; to consecrate; to be separate.

Defined as: “to set apart, or the state of being set apart. It indicates classification in matters of position and relationship. The basis of the classification is usually that the sanctified person or thing has been set apart, or separated from others in position and relationship before God, from which is holy.” (Chafer and Walvoord, Bible Themes, 203).

“

”

Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from

all His work which God had created and made.

Genesis 2:3

“

”

Sanctify to Me every firstborn, the first offspring of every womb among the sons of Israel, both of man and beast; it belongs to

Me.”

Exodus 13:2

“

”

“But as for you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘You shall surely observe My

sabbaths; for this is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you

may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you.

Exodus 13:13

New Testament Meaning

ἁγιασμός [hagiasmos /hag·ee·as·mos/] (Greek Root: ἅγιος [hagios /hag·ee·os/] – holy) HAGIOSMOS

sanctification means: the act of becoming more personally dedicated to God; either in being more set apart or by becoming morally pure; to be separate from profane things and dedicated to God.

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…

1 Corinthians 1:2

“

”

But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and

redemption…

1 Corinthians 1:30

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.

“We are not now accepted in ourselves: we are accepted in the Beloved. We are not now righteous

in ourselves: He has been made unto us righteousness. We are not now redeemed in

ourselves: He has been made unto us redemption. We are not now positionally sanctified by our daily

walk: He has been made unto us sanctification. Positional sanctification is as perfect as He is perfect.

As much as he He is set apart, we who are in Him are set apart. Positional sanctification is as complete

for the weakest saint as it is for the strongest. It depends only on his union and position in Christ.”

Lewis Sperry Chafer, Major Bible Themes, 207.

Our Progressive Sanctification is Dependent on…

1.How much we yield to God.

“

”

Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a

living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

Romans 12:1



2.How much we separate ourselves from sin.

“

”

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the

flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may

not do the things that you please.

Galatians 5:16-17

“

”

Even so consider yourselves to be dead (indeed) to sin, but alive to God in Christ

Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, and do not go on presenting the members of

your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness

to God.Romans 6:11-13

“

”

We encounter here the oddity of the juxtaposition of the indicative and the imperative—i.e., something is flatly

affirmed to be true, and then immediately we encounter the command to act in a way that manifests this truth. This

interesting feature of Pauline thought is the result of the tension between what is sometimes called “positional”

truth and “experiential” truth and is not unlike that between present and future eschatology. The challenge of Christian living for Paul can be stated in the maxim, “Be what you are,” or, “Act out your true identity.” Counting something as true does not create the fact of union with Christ but makes it operative in one’s life. The charge to consider oneself “dead to sin but alive to God in Christ

Jesus” is thus in the present tense, stressing the necessity to keep up the process if one is to avoid reactivating the

body of sin.

“

”

Paradoxically, the Christian is dead and alive at the same time, as in Galatians 2:20—dead to sin and self but alive and responsive to God. The Christian is to give no more

response to sin than a dead person can give. On the other hand, all the potential afforded by redeemed life is to be

channeled godward: “alive to God.” Paul seems to lay considerable stress on the importance of this process of

counting true or reckoning. It is not a matter of attempting to convince oneself of something untrue, thus amounting to self-deception. Rather, it is a matter of letting the truth

of union with Christ have its intended effect. What is factually true must be allowed to become a matter of

experience. Christians are “to arm themselves with the mentality that they are dead to sin; for that is what

happened to them in the baptismal experience” Everett F. Harrison and Donald A. Hagner, “Romans,” in The Expositor’s Bible Commentary:

Romans–Galatians (Revised Edition), ed. Tremper Longman III & Garland, David E., vol. 11 (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2008), 107–108.

“

”

…knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of

sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; for he who

has died is freed from sin.Now if we have died with Christ, we believe

that we shall also live with Him.

Romans 6:6-8
