KJV Dictionary SANCTIFICA'TION definition: The act of making holy, the act of consecrating or of setting apart for a sacred purpose.
(MY NOTE: To sanctify something, is to set it apart for special use.
Throughout the OT, things that were anointed with oil: kings, Priests, sanctuary utensils, were anointed with oil. They were all chosen vessels set apart by/for the Lord to work through. (Lev 8:10, 15, 30, Num 7:1)
QUESTION: What act of good works or will did the vessels, utensils of sanctuaries do to be called holy? (See Holy defined below)
ANSWER: None! The sanctuary vessels & utensils were ceremonially purified, by being anointed with oil (the oil was a foreshadow of the coming indwelling Holy Spirit purifying & sanctifying) this anointing set them apart/sanctified then for a working/purpose & made the vessels & utensils holy. (Lev 8:10, 15, 30, Num 7:1)
It's Christ that sanctifies the believer void of any action on their part beyond faith. The moment we believe/trust place our faith in Christ's Sin atoning death, burial & resurrection. Christ justifies/judicially declares the believer righteousness. Eternally saves by sealing (2 Cor 1:22, 5:5, Eph 4:4) them with His Holy Spirit sanctifying/setting them apart, for a work/mission Eph 2:10)

20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One [you have been set apart, specially gifted and prepared by the Holy Spirit], and all of you know [the truth because He teaches us, illuminates our minds, and guards us from error].
27 As for you, the anointing [the special gift, the preparation] which you received from Him remains [permanently] in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you.
