Justification is God’s legal declaration that a believer is righteous, based on Christ’s sacrifice rather than personal behavior. Sanctification is being set apart as holy for God’s purposes. The distinction people often get wrong is treating sanctification as something earned gradually over a lifetime, but here it’s taught as a completed gift received at the same moment as justification, with both flowing from the same finished work rather than one being immediate and the other progressive.
