Justification is the work of God where the righteousness of Jesus is reckoned to the sinner, so the sinner is declared by God as being righteous under the Law (Romans. 4:3; 5:1,9; Galatians. 2:16; 3:11). This righteousness is not earned or retained by any effort of the saved. Justification is an instantaneous occurrence with the result being eternal life. It is based completely and solely upon Jesus' sacrifice on the cross (1 Peter. 2:24) and is received by faith alone (Ephesians 2:8-9). No works are necessary whatsoever to obtain justification. Otherwise, it is not a gift (Romans. 6:23). Therefore, we are justified by faith (Romans 5:1).

Sanctification is the process of being set apart for God's work and being conformed to the image of Christ. This conforming to Christ involves the work of the person, but it is still God working in the believer to produce more of a godly character and life in the person who has already been justified (Philippians. 2:13). We must, first of all, have a born again spirit in order to bring body and soul under the control of the Spirit/spirit. It is in this context that it is said, that we ARE saved, we are BEING saved and we WILL be saved. We ARE saved immediately in our spirit when Jesus Christ saves us. (This is called Justification.) We are BEING saved in our souls as we bring them under the direction of the Holy Spirit by the Word. (This is known as sanctification)

And we WILL be saved physically at the resurrection when our bodies will be transformed and glorified by the power of Christ (This is known as glorification) Since it is our spirit that the Shekinah glory of God dwells, then it must become the base of operations in the Christian life, “For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.” Romans 8:14.

Justification is automatic if you believe; Glorification is automatic, you just have to die or be raptured. Sanctification is non-automatic in your life, it’s a possibility, based on you.
