As used in the experiences of salvation, sanctification refers to three changes. Which of the following lists the three changes?

• A. Separation from the world unto God; Purging from the pollution of sins; Crucifying the carnal nature
• B. Separation from the world unto God; Cleansing from all unrighteousness; Forgiveness of sins
• C. Purging from the pollution of sins; Mortification of the flesh; Conversion
• D. Crucifying the carnal nature; Fidelity to God; Sealing by the Holy Spirit

Answer: (A)

Sanctification in the salvation experience is described as three changes: a separation from the world unto God, a purging from the pollution of sins, and crucifying the carnal nature.

Separation from the world unto God means turning allegiance away from worldly patterns and dedicating one’s life to God, living as someone set apart for Him. Purging from the pollution of sins refers to cleansing from defilement and moving toward moral purity, removing the stain of sin in daily conduct. Crucifying the carnal nature denotes mortifying fleshly desires and putting to death the old, sinful tendencies so the Spirit’s work can fully rule in the new life.

That combination best matches the described sanctification experience in this tradition, whereas other options intertwine elements tied to forgiveness, justification, or other aspects of salvation rather than the threefold sanctification focus.
