November 1: What is a Saint?
Summary: What is a saint? The Reformation ushered in a new idea of who could be considered a saint. All who live in Christ are considered saints, but we are also sinners due to the failings of human nature. Therefore, we need to live in Christ, because only Christ bore our sin and rose from the dead, and only Jesus can act as our mediator between us and God. Living in Christ requires discipline, prayer, and the assistance of the Holy Spirit. When we commit to making Christ the center of our lives, we become closer to living in the image of God, and one day we will all wake up to a world where sorrow, grief and death will be no more. This is the promise of All Saints Day.
