The term saint, like many other Bible words, has been utterly perverted, mistaught , and misapplied by religious leaders who seek only their own glory. To make a short lesson of this, every baptized believer is a saint. Not because of anything they did, only that they obeyed the gospel of Jesus Christ and were added to the body the church by the hand of God (Acts 2:38, 41, 42, 47) . That’s it in a nutshell. If you have been taught that to be a saint you must meet certain other qualifications like performing a miracle before, or after death. You have been deceived. If you were told that only certain church leaders can apply sainthood on an individual, you have been lied to.
Such things we will study in this lesson. I hope you’ll listen with an open heart, and reason these things, and filter all teaching through the word of truth, which is the word of God (John 17:17). Jesus said, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). Let’s learn truth together. . .
