The Church of Jesus Christ
Series Ephesians Verse-by-Verse
The first message in the verse-by-verse series through the book of Ephesians.
Are you a saint?
In this message, Dr. Cucuzza covers how to become a saint, and what the Bible means when it talks about “saints”. You can know right now if you are a saint. A saint is not just a person that lives a selfless good life, but rather a saint is a person who has trusted Christ as Savior. A saint has been set apart by and to God and made pure. A saint is someone who has been sanctified, and all believers have been sanctified. If you have trusted Christ as your Savior you’re a saint!
As a saint, God wants to continue to sanctify your lifestyle, which means getting purer as time goes on. However, living a pure life is not to earn salvation; once you are saved you are always saved. All sin is paid for. Every saint SHOULD be faithful, but you don’t HAVE TO be faithful to become a saint. God has called us to holiness. You can have peace with God, and you can have the peace of God.
The church is not a building, but rather, it is the body of Christ; believers. When the Bible talks about a church, it is talking about the believers, not the building. The church is made up of saints.
