Am I a saint? I sure don’t feel like one – at least I don’t feel like what I imagine a saint is like. I’m often the opposite of saintly! If anyone flat out asked me if I was a saint or a sinner, I’d definitely say “sinner.” Actually, I’m a not very Christlike total mess of a sinner in constant need of a Savior – to be exact. But I read the Bible, and I read a different story. I read about these “saints” in Ephesus and while faithful, they weren’t perfect. I known I’m a sinner, not just because I blow it, I’m sinner because it is clear in the Bible that I am. Everyone is born in sin and all have a nature that sins with ease. But there’s some great and shocking news: I may have been born a sinner, but I have actually become – gasp! – a saint, a “holy one.” Sinners are born. Saints are reborn. They weren’t given a title of saint after they died because of their amazing life; they got the title because Jesus died and lived a perfectly amazing life. When I gave my life to Christ I didn’t just get a new nickname “Christian” I got a new nature! God, in His great mercy and grace, made the way for this sinner by birth to become a saint by rebirth! That’s amazing - amazing grace actually!! When I confessed my need for a Savior and accepted His solution for my sinful state – the sacrifice of Christ on the cross – I miraculously become a saint. Wow. Grace and peace to you as you read this today and may our God and Father bless you with the assurance of your new nature: Saint!
