Re: Sanctifcation
Actually it's not a continuing process. It has a start and an ending.
The start of sanctification involves a person who is un-holy and through a spiritual process of deliverance/spiritual warfare, is made holy.
Jesus himself underwent this process.

Actually the word "sanctify" as used by the Bible means "to set apart" especially for sacred or Holy use, as in "God sanctified (set apart) the Sabbath day."

He has done a good job. It is something Christians get as a gift through grace because of the work of Jesus and our keeping his commands. He says if you love me you will keep my commands.

Sanctifcation
This is a word that involves a good deal of understanding. It helps to know the Greek word as well as the Bible. It is used in regard to the salvation offered in Jesus Christ's death. We come by both justification and sanctification by the Grace of God.
A word related to it is Justification. This word is a word used in a trial--justice. The Greek word in the verb form is punctiliar in time. That is it happened once in time--never to be repeated.
Sanctification, as a part of this salvation, is more of a continuing process. This is where "we work out our salvation...for it is God who is at work in you" Phil. 2:12-13. Check out my blogs--by KOINONIKOS.
