Which statement best describes the initial act of sanctification at conversion?

• A. It is the initial act of sanctification
• B. It is an ongoing process of sanctification
• C. It is identical to justification
• D. It is unrelated to salvation

Answer: (B)

Sanctification begins at conversion but is not completed there. It marks the starting point of God’s transforming work in a believer, and the Spirit continues to work in daily life to produce holiness, shaping character, obedience, and growth in grace. In this sense, sanctification is an ongoing process that continues after conversion, not a single, one-time act. This view aligns with the teaching that salvation includes both being set apart for God and a progressive walk of holiness throughout life.
