To All The Saints In Christ Jesus

Is every Christian a Saint?

1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons: 

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. - Philippians 1:1-2

Saint means holy ones.

It is not a special class of people.

who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, - 2 Timothy 1:9

We are called to be holy in Christ Jesus.

Not by our works but because of God's grace and purpose.

God gave this calling to us in Christ before the ages began.

even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love - Ephesians 1:4

We are chosen to be holy and blameless in Christ before the foundation of the world.

Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, - Colossians 3:12

Saints are set apart by God in Christ Jesus.

8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ

9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith- - Philippians 3:8-9

We are to be found in Christ not dependent upon our righteousness from the law but by faith in Christ and that righteousness is from God and depends on faith.

In union with Christ through faith from God.

Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. - Philippians 3:12

We press on to make it our own through Christ.

We strive to be Christ- like.

We want to morally change.

Christ is the Anointed One, the Messiah.

We are servants to Christ.
