INTRODUCTION
“Qadash” is a Hebrew word that is translated as “sanctified.” In the Old Testament, sanctification frequently denotes the ceremonial or ritual consecration of any person or thing to God.
Thus, the Hebrews, as a people, were holy unto the Lord, through the covenant with its rites and atoning sacrifices (Exodus 31:13).
In the New Testament, sanctification is the second work of grace after salvation that every believer experience. Hence, every believer is called to a wholly sanctified life.
