WHAT MAKES A SAINT
Saints were not born saints; they chose to follow Christ.
When they fall, they chose to get back up. A friend defined a saint as someone
who had fallen but never gave up on himself, because he knew God had not given
up on him; someone who dared to get back up after falling. They believe in the
saving power of God’s grace and not their works.
When we fall we shall arise again; even in the dark, the
LORD shall be a light unto us (Micah 7:8). Further reading shows that the
prophet Micah had sinned against God but He is willing to take responsibility
for his sin. He believes that the LORD will hear him and bring him into
righteousness.
Today, Jesus has taken away the responsibilities of our sins
and has offered a better route back to God. Where sin is great, His grace is
sufficient for us. If any man should sin, we have an advocate in Heaven who
speaks on our behalf, Jesus Christ (I John 2:1).
God’s grace makes us saints through Christ Jesus.
