When we think of the word “saint”, we tend to think of the saints in the Bible or those dubbed with the title of “saint” by the Roman Catholic Church. In this verse, saints refer to those who are God’s people, those who have been set apart for Him. The church is made up of saints who are faithful to Christ. One who has put their trust and faith in Christ can be called a saint because he or she is deemed holy not by their own works but by Christ’s. You may think that you are not qualified to be a saint because of the sin in your life. In fact, none of us are qualified, but we have been deemed worthy because of Christ. We still make mistakes, but the Spirit works in us to make us more like Christ each day. Paul does not see a saint as someone who is perfect, but one who has been set apart, and we have been set apart because of our faith.
