The Greek term *hagiazo* (G37), translated as "sanctified," appears in Hebrews 10:14 and is written in the future tense, indicating a process of making holy in the character sense, a work in progress. This term shifts to a future perspective, showing that sanctification is not complete but continues as an ongoing journey. Sanctification, or holiness, comes in two parts: one stage is accomplished, opening a relationship with God and being perfect to that point, while the second stage of becoming like God remains unfinished, extending into the future as long as He permits. The use of *hagiazo* emphasizes that those who are being sanctified are on their way, not yet at the final destination, highlighting the continuous nature of this transformative process.

The verb *hagiazo* (G37), from which the noun *hagiasmos* is derived, carries the profound meaning of "to make clean," as explained by Spiros Zodhiates in his Complete Word Study New Testament Words book. This term signifies not just a declaration of righteousness, as in justification, but a transformative process of becoming clean and pure in a moral sense. It involves rendering oneself pure, metaphorically speaking, through purification and consecration, setting one apart from common use and the rest of the world, which remains in a state of impurity. The process of sanctification, tied to *hagiazo*, indicates a devotion and separation that comes from this ongoing purification, distinguishing those who undergo it as they strive to reflect the holiness of God.

The Greek word hagiazo, rendered "hallow," means to separate or consecrate; to cleanse, purify, or sanctify; and to regard or revere as holy. It occurs 28 times in the New Testament, while the English "hallow" appears 31 times in Scripture and only twice in the New Testament, both in versions of the Model Prayer (Matthew 6:9; Luke 11:2). Modern translations often simplify "Hallowed be Your name" to "may your name be treated as holy" or "kept holy." The basic idea is separation, like a grower sorting the best fruit into its own category and treating it with greater care. Only God can make something truly holy, as when He hallowed the Sabbath by resting on the seventh day. Humans can only regard and treat as holy what God has sanctified, and they do so by obeying His instructions about it, as in keeping the Sabbath by doing no work. To hallow God's name is to put Him in His own exalted category, where He has no rivals. Because a name represents a person's essence, hallowing His name means revering His character and taking the pursuit of Him and His way of life seriously. His people hallow His name by praising Him and obeying Him in every word and deed.

Jesus instructs His disciples in Luke 11:2 to pray, saying, "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name." The word "hallowed" is translated from the Greek term *hagiazo*, which means to make holy, to sanctify, or to set apart. Another significant definition of *hagiazo* is to show a difference from the common. This applies to our heavenly Father, who is in an entirely different category from our ordinary human fathers, being truly holy and uncommon in His nature and greatness.
