Ephesians 5:3 But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints

Romans 1:7 to all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called [to be] saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

You will find in many places in the scriptures that the believer has another name or title. He is also called A SAINT. Some translators had difficulty with that so they inserted  “to be”. But the right translation is YOU ARE THE BELOVED OF GOD, CALLED SAINTS. That became your designation the very day you believed in Jesus as your Lord.

What then does it mean to be saint?

Something sainty, means it’s SANCTIFIED. It is HOLY. it’s the same Greek root word for saint used for these two words. It means SET APART FOR GOD. In a moral sense it also means PURE, and SINLESS and UPRIGHT. It means WORTHY OF VENERATION.

Do you realize I am describing you from the perspective of God? All the sainty descriptions above is about you. When God looks at the born again believer, he sees a saint. One will say, what about all the errors and sins I commit, am I still a saint? RELAX BELOVED, YOU ARE GOD’S SAINT.😁

It is God who has justified you and made you sanctified, it’s not by any deeds and acts of yours. IN THE SAME BREADTH THAT GOD DECLARED YOU SAVED, HE ALSO DECLARED YOU A SAINT. This is your new identity. Hallelujah!
