SAINTS


Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.” (I Corinthians 16: 1)


The saints are the sanctified and the sanctified are the saints. All believers are the saints of God and not of an organization or religious group. We were made holy by the blood of the Lamb that was slain for the salvation of men. Salvation comes when you accept the finished work of God at the cross of Calvary and recognize the Lordship of Christ. The Bible says; “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” (Revelation 12:11)  “These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.” (Revelation 14:4)
