The Bible On Who Is Called A Saint

What does the Holy Word of

God, the King James Bible,
say about who saints are?

When I searched the King

James Bible in eSword,

there are 98 verses that
speak about saints (plural)

or individual saints. I hope

you will keep reading

because the Bible has a

lot to say about this

subject.

First let me say that I have

read that the Catholic church
teaches that we should

pray to dead people

('saints'); but God says

that once we die then

comes the judgment.
Dead people have no

power to answer our

prayers. Only God Almighty

in heaven has the power

to answer our prayers!

Hebrews 9:27

And as it is appointed unto

men once to die, but after
this the judgment:

Well, then, who are the

saints that the Bible talks

about? God's Word, the King

James Bible, says that

"saints" are those believers

who put their faith in the

Lord Jesus Christ's death

and resurrection for their

sins and obey God's Word.

Revelation 14:12  

Here is the patience of

the saints: here are they

that keep the

commandments of God,

and the faith of
Jesus.

The Apostle Paul called

himself "the least of all

saints".

Ephesians 3:8
Unto me, who am less

than the least of all saints,

is this grace given, that I

should preach among

the Gentiles the

unsearchable riches of

Christ;

Paul went to Jerusalem to

minister to the saints

(believers) there.

Romans 15:25  
But now I go unto

Jerusalem to minister unto

the saints.

Peter called the believers

in Jesus Christ at Lydda

saints.

Acts 9:32  
And it came to pass, as

Peter passed throughout

all quarters, he came down

also to the saints which

dwelt at Lydda.

Paul called those who lived

in Corinth who were sanctified
in Christ Jesus saints.

(Hebrews 10:10 below

explains that ‘sanctified’ is

what happens when we

accept that Jesus Christ  

died for our sins and rose

again from the dead.)

1 Corinthians 1:2  
Unto the church of God

which is at Corinth, to

them that are sanctified

in Christ Jesus, called

to be saints, with all

that in every place

call upon the name of

Jesus Christ our Lord,

both theirs and ours:

Hebrews 10:10
By the which will we are

sanctified through the

offering of the body of

Jesus Christ once for all.

Paul called the believers in

Jesus Christ at Colosse

saints.

Colossians 1:2  
To the saints and faithful

brethren in Christ which

are at Colosse: Grace be

unto you, and peace, from

God our Father and the

Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul called the believers

in Jesus Christ in Philippi

saints.

Philippians 1:1  
Paul and Timotheus, the

servants of Jesus Christ, to

all the saints in Christ

Jesus which are at Philippi,

with the bishops and

deacons:

Paul called the believers

in Jesus Christ in Achaia

saints.

2 Corinthians 1:1  
Paul, an apostle of Jesus

Christ by the will of God,

and Timothy our brother,

unto the church of God

which is at Corinth, with all

the saints which are in all

Achaia:

And in these next verses we

see that true believers will

be with Jesus Christ among

his "ten thousands of
saints" when he returns to

judge the inhabitants of

earth for their rejection of

God's gift of salvation

through His Sinless Son,

Jesus Christ!

Jude

1:14 And Enoch also, the

seventh from Adam,

prophesied of these,

saying, Behold, the

Lord cometh with ten
thousands of his saints,

1:15 To execute

judgment upon all, and

to convince all that are

ungodly among them of

all their ungodly deeds
which they have ungodly

committed, and of all

their hard speeches which

ungodly sinners have

spoken against him.
