This letter is addressed to the Christians at Colossae. Why are Christians called saints? It is because we are saved by the grace of God in Jesus Christ. It is not because we have earned anything, but because God has made us saints by His grace. Note well that Christians are also called brothers, as we have a common adoption in our salvation. God is our Father and Christ is our brother. We, who are called and have believed in Him, are all brothers and sisters in Christ.
