AI OVERVIEW: Sanctification has three aspects: positional sanctification, which occurs at salvation when the Holy Spirit sets a believer apart unto God and makes them saints from God's viewpoint. It is also a ongoing process in which the Spirit works to keep us from sin and to transform our conduct, so believers cooperate by renouncing impurity and living as holy, obedient people; practical examples mentioned include abstaining from sexual immorality and putting to death earthly desires, as urged in Colossians 3 and 1 Thessalonians 4. Ultimate sanctification will occur at Christ's return, when believers are made completely holy and like him. The Spirit's indwelling enables believers to yield, be guided, and experience moments of crisis that deepen commitment to Jesus.
