# John 3:16 and Sanctification John 3:16 states: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (NIV). This verse does not directly teach about sanctification (the process of becoming holy). Rather, it focuses on justification—how a person receives eternal life through faith in Christ. Sanctification, while an important biblical doctrine, is addressed more explicitly in other passages such as 1 Thessalonians 4:3 or 2 Corinthians 3:18.
