Here are a few verses to chew on:
Quote:
John 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
John 17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

Jesus Himself is sanctified. Does this mean that He was made righteous over a period of time?!
Quote:
|
1 Corinthians 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
|
Christ IS our RIGHTEOUSNESS
as well as our SANCTIFICATION.
And there are plenty more that discredit your definition and application.
