What a great salvation we have been brought close to. Summed up in three words, Salvation, sanctification, and glorification.
Salvation is free, glorification is also a gift. What of sanctification in the life of the believer?
Many who make the claim that they are saved by Grace through Faith when confronted with the question of sanctification say it is to get them ready for Heaven. This however is not the purpose of sanctification. There are also many arguments as to what Sanctification is. One says it is also only a gift and another says it is from obedience.
Sanctification is to be set apart by obedience through faith. Just as Salvation comes by way of grace through faith.
Sanctification is the process of being made Holy through the Word of Elohim. What does scripture say about Holiness? It says no-one can see the Kingdom without Holiness. Also it says that in the end days people who have an appearance of Holiness but reject the power of the word to make them holy.
So what advantage does living a life of sanctification do for the believer? It is proof that they are saved and working towards the good goal and promise of glorification. Does it only do this? No. The over all purpose I believe is for our neighbors and friends. That is the example of Messiah lived out through the life of the sanctified believers has shown others what life we are to live today. A person is not saved through sanctification, rather if a person does set their needs, wants, and desires aside for the Kingdom they most assuredly are saved already. These "Good Works" are the only good works because they come from the Father who is the only Good One.
Shalom in Messiah
