“But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:”
2 Thessalonians 2:13
God has chosen us to salvation, which is freedom from sin. Sanctification is the process of becoming holy in the sight of God. It is the work of the Holy Spirit that brings sanctification to those who believe in the truth of the Gospel of Christ. We are bound to give thanks to God for the process of the Holy Spirit that we were chosen to be saved from sin through the process of the Holy Spirit converting each one of us into the image of Christ through our faith in Christ.
