Sanctification

According to the Holy Scriptures, the sanctification is the process by which a person releases herself from the sin and becomes pure and holy by the Expiation of Jesus-Christ (see Hebrew 10:10; 13:12). To be sanctified means being put aside for God. Sanctification is the fruit of the release of the old nature and the abandonment of the old man, which is not possible that by the expiatory sacrifice of Jesus-Christ.

A command

In the Bible, sanctification seems a divine command:

  • “You will be holy, because I am holy” (1 Pierre 1:16)

  • “Seek peace with all, and the sanctification, without which nobody will see the Lord” (Hebrew 12:14)
  • “what God wants, it is your sanctification; they is that you abstained from the impudicity” (1 Thessaloniciens 4:3)
  • “Having thus such promises, beloveds, purify us of any stain of the flesh and of the spirit, by completing our sanctification in fear of God” (2 Corinthians 7:1)
  • “and he says to them: Listen to me, Lévites! Now you sanctify, sanctify the house of the Eternal, God of your fathers, and put what is impure out of the sanctuary” (2 Chronicles 29:5)
  • “Josué called to the people: You sanctify, because tomorrow the Eternal will make wonders in the middle of you” (Josué 3:5)

In the catholic vocabulary

It is possible that the process of sanctification of a person is recognized by her entourage, which then will perhaps propose it being studied religious authorities so that she enters the catalog of the Saint S to which one returns a worship. In the Catholic vocabulary , it is the Canonization rather than the sanctification which is the last stage towards the passage to the state of Saint.

Representations in history of art

the subject is consequently very largely present in the representations of the Christian religious art, in particular in the high part of paintings where the Chérubin S and the Archange S await the subject with the field of the skies. The immediate symbolic system connected to paintings is that of the rise.
