Tne act of sanctifying or making holy ; in theol. , 
the act of God's grace by which the affections 
are purified and the soul is cleansed from 
sin and consecrated to God. In Protestant theol- 
ogy, regeneration, or the awakening of spiritual life in the 
heart, is regarded as an instantaneous act ; while sanctifl- 
cation, or the perfecting of that life, is generally regard- 
ed as a gradual and progressive work, never completed in 
this life. The doctrine of perfect sanctiflcation, sometimes 
also called the doctrine of holiness, held by a compara- 
tively small number, is the doctrine that men may be and 
sometimes are perfected in holiness in the present life, 
and wholly, unreservedly, and undeviatingly consecrated 
to do the divine will, so that they are freed from all sin, 
though not from all mistakes or errors In judgment. 
God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation, 
through sanctiftcation of the Spirit and belief of the truth.
