I have been trying to find the appropriate meaning for the usage of these words.

Im understanding that sanctification is to set apart as holy and to use as the purpose God had intended.
Consecration, to make clean or holy?

Please help me understand how these words are different

I hope people find what they need
I don't know much about those words

A small difference in the heart explaining things can make a big difference
Why learn from someone who speaks about knowing sanctification but isn't
Sanctification and consecration

Consecration is a old testament word and you see it not used in the new testament.I look at it this way. Jesus's death on the cross provided a new a better way.

Sanctification is a work of the Holy Spirit. The Bible verses explains what the Spirit does.
1. present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification
2.salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.
3.Sanctify them in the truth.

Romans 6:19-22
I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death.

1 Corinthians 6:11
Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
2 Thessalonians 1:13
But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.

1 Peter 1:1-2
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who reside as aliens, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace be yours in the fullest measure.
John 17:17
Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.

Consecration is a term for something dedicated to God from a human pov
  1. the action of making or declaring something, typically a church, sacred.
    "the consecration of this cathedral was a magical event"
    • (in Christian belief) the action of declaring bread and wine to be or represent the body and blood of Christ.
      "the consecration of bread and wine in the Eucharist"
    • the action of ordaining someone to a sacred office, typically that of bishop.
      "he received consecration as bishop at Notre Dame"
Sanctification otoh is manward from God.
