Bible Question: where does the bible tell us that we are saints |
Bible Answer: Hi, regguh! I wanted to add: Compared to the Old Testament, the saints are the the holy people of God... Yahweh Himself calls Israel gods and commands them to be holy as He is Holy... this, of course, does not mean that Israel (as a whole) was a nation of holy people who humbly obeyed God and joyfully lived in adherance to His Commandments... conversely, Paul and the other Apostles (and disciples) were keenly aware that amongst them there were those who were not saints of Christ... the various letters attest to the battle waged on the Church by the Ancient Serpent as the unmature and the incredulous would join the Church... When we look at Scripture, as a whole, we can better understand that we are called to be holy (saints) and it is through adherance to Christ that we achieve that rebirth: walking in the Spirit (Holy Spirit); becoming God's holy people!
