1 Cor 1:30
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
This is a truth worthy of much reflection, how that Christ is our Sanctification before God as a Gift.
The NIV translates the word holiness
It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.
Its the same word used in Heb 12:14
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
This is a Gift of Sanctification/Holiness apart from the efforts, obedience's, acts of men, or even before they exist physically.
God told Jeremiah Jer 1:5
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
