04/17/2026 – “We finally get to “dump our me” in heaven, forever replaced by “one body in Christ”. Jesus will have our me! // 1 of 2 – Sanctification //Part One: What is sanctification? (link to article – attached)
https://www.gotquestions.org/sanctification.html
Here is the last paragraph to give you an idea of the process and the three phases of sanctification:
“To summarize, “sanctification” is a translation of the Greek word hagiasmos, meaning “holiness” or “a separation.” In the past, God granted us justification, a once-for-all, positional holiness in Christ. In the present, God guides us to maturity, a practical, progressive holiness. In the future, God will give us glorification, a permanent, ultimate holiness. These three phases of sanctification separate the believer from the penalty of sin (justification), the power of sin (maturity), and the presence of sin (glorification).”

Now, let’s check out:
“Salvation and the Process of Sanctification” by Guy P. Duffeld and Nathaniel M. Van Cleave / Chapter Five: The Doctrine of Salvation / Soteriology. We are looking at the means of salvation, both the divine side and the human side, pages 2 & 3:

“The LORD spoke to Moses: “Speak to the entire Israelite community and tell them: Be holy because I, the LORD, your God, am holy.” Leviticus 19: 1-2
“Therefore, get your minds ready for action, being self – disciplined, and set your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires of your former ignorance but, as the One who called you is holy; you also are to be holy in all your conduct; for it is written, Be holy, because I am holy.“ 1 Peter 1: 13-16
Upon Christ’s 2nd coming, glorification arrives, nevermore departing: Our holiness by His grace!
