Christ's crucifixion serves as what for our sanctification?

• A. Moral example
• B. Redemptive provision
• C. Symbolic gesture
• D. Temporary sacrifice

Answer: (B)

The crucifixion serves as redemptive provision for sanctification. This means that Christ’s death provides the necessary means and basis by which believers are set free from sin’s penalty and are empowered to become holy. Through faith, the redeeming work of Christ reconciles us to God, acquits us of sin, and imputes righteousness, so the Holy Spirit can live within us and transform our lives. sanctification is not just a model to imitate or a ritual sign; it flows from the cross itself—the act that makes forgiveness possible and provides the power for ongoing growth in holiness. While following Jesus’ example or viewing the cross as a symbolic gesture can be spiritually meaningful, they do not themselves secure sanctification the way the redemptive work of Christ does.
