Sanctification after the new birth is accomplished through which triad?

• A. Faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word; and by the Holy Ghost
• B. Faith in Christ alone
• C. Church membership
• D. Personal effort

Answer: (A)

Sanctification after the new birth is carried out through a threefold channel: faith in the blood of Christ, through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost. Trusting in Christ’s atoning blood provides the cleansing and reliance on His finished work that begins and sustains the process. The Word acts as the sanctifying truth that reveals God’s will, renews the mind, and guides behavior. The Holy Ghost dwells within believers, applying Christ’s work, producing inward change, conviction, and empowerment for obedience.

Relying on faith in Christ alone, by itself, misses the ongoing means God uses to transform us. Mere church membership or personal effort cannot accomplish lasting sanctification without the Spirit’s work and the truth of Scripture shaping our lives.
