What is the difference between salvation, justification, sanctification?

Topic: The differences between salvation, justification, and sanctification.

When one enters into New Covenant relationship with the Father through faith in Jesus, they are saved (receive a divine pardon – salvation) from the “second death” in Hell (John 3); they are “justified” (Romans 5:1) through the imputation, gifting, of Jesus’ righteousness over their life and are therefore declared “not guilty” by the Father via New Covenant promise (Hebrews 8:12; 2 Corinthians 5:21); they are sanctified or “set apart” from the World via the new birth by the indwelling Holy Spirit who anoints them with power from on High in order to walk daily in obedience via Christian sanctification relevant to producing divine fruit that fulfills all law and honors the Father while proving one to be a disciple of Jesus (John 17:17; Galatians 5:16-23; John 15:8).
