Bible Question:
How would you describle a Saint? I look under search and it really didn't explain the word as we would look at a Godly Saint. Thanks |
Bible Answer: Good Morning Grace: I quoted the above verse from 1 Cor. 1:2 which teaches us that it is our calling in Christ, "called to be saints" You will notice that throughout the Epistles that the believers are called saints. It is amazing that the Grace of God is such: that he calls lost, unworthy sinners to himself and through Christ brings them into a loving relationship with himself. They are sinners who are now saints. At times we often say "I'm only a sinner saved by grace". which is true. However, God would like us to hold our heads high because we now are saints in the body of Christ and seated in the heavenlies with Christ.Eph. 1 In short, a saint in the Bible is one who has trusted Christ as saviour. Some saints sin, others are weak, some are needy, while others live a godly life and yet they are saints who are precious to God. There are no "Saints" in scripture. The Lord never gave preferential titles to humans. Paul, Peter and the other apostles saw themselves as servants of the Lord and never took the singular name "Saint" to their name. "Saints" are an invention of certain church oganizations over the centuries. Peace in his Name Robert |
