Sanctification is realized in you, as a believer, by recognizing your identification with Christ in His resurrection. Christ took our sin upon Himself to also share in the victory over that sin that otherwise separates us from God. "For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For one who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus."
This fact of shared victory is in the resurrection. The resurrection is victory over death. Our sin lies on the floor of hell because Christ delivered all of it from the Cross. God makes this victory plain, "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death."
