CHRISTIAN SAINTS - BIBLICAL SAINTS IN THE BIBLE QUEST
WHAT ARE SAINTS OF THE BIBLE BLESSINGS
What is the definition of a
Saint?
|
1.
One officially recognized as preeminent for
holiness esp. through canonization.
2.
One of God's chosen people.
3.
One belonging to the Body of Christ. |
What does
canonization mean?
|
Canonization
is the
act by which a particular Christian church
or group declares a DECEASED person to be a
Saint and is included in the canon, or list,
of recognized Saints. Originally,
individuals were recognized as Saints
without any formal process. |
CHRISTIAN SAINTS & BIBLICAL SAINTS IN THE BIBLE TRUTH
WHAT ARE SAINTS OF THE BIBLE PROMISES
The TRUTH is ...
The act of canonization can
never magically make someone become a Saint, but is
merely a verbal or written acknowledgment that the
person is deemed as a Saint to said Religious individual
or group.
Obviously, a Saint was
appointed to be a Saint by GOD, even before the
canonization process.
Many Christians believe
that only certain Christians can become a Saint or that
a Christian must have died to become a Saint.
But, is this TRUTH?
There is Scripture that
reveals that Christians who passed from this realm to
the next (died) were called Saints:
|
Matthew
27:52-53
And the graves were opened; and many bodies of
the
Saints
which slept arose, And came out of the graves
after His resurrection, and went into the holy
city, and appeared unto many. |
There is also scripture
that does call those that come back with the Lord from
Heaven ... "Saints".
|
1 Thessalonians 3:13
To the end He may stablish your hearts
unblameable in holiness before God, even our
Father, at the COMING of our Lord Jesus Christ
with all His
Saints. |
|
Jude
1:14-15
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam,
prophesied of these, saying,
Behold, the
Lord cometh with ten thousands of His
Saints,
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. |
CHRISTIAN SAINTS - BIBLICAL SAINTS IN THE BIBLE FACTS
WHAT ARE SAINTS OF THE BIBLE DOING NOWBut,
the Bible also has many more Scriptures that reveal that
living Christians are also called ... Saints.
|
1
Samuel 2:9
He will keep the feet of His
Saints,
and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for
by strength shall no man prevail. |
|
Psalms 34:9
O fear the LORD, ye His
Saints:
for there is no want to them that fear Him. |
|
Psalms 37:28
For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh
not His
Saints;
they are preserved for ever: but the seed of
the wicked shall be cut off. |
|
Acts 9:13-14
Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have
heard by many of this man, how much evil
he hath done to thy
Saints
at Jerusalem: And here he hath authority
from the chief priests to bind all that
call on thy name. |
CHRISTIAN SAINTS / BIBLICAL SAINTS IN THE BIBLE VOW
WHAT ARE SAINTS OF THE BIBLE HERE TO DOThe Holy Spirit makes
intercession for these Saints.
|
Romans
8:27
And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what
is the mind of the Spirit, because He maketh
intercession for the
Saints
according to the will of God. |
The Bible
also reveals that Antichrist will make war with Saints.
|
Revelation 13:7
And it was given unto him (Antichrist) to make
war with the
Saints,
and to overcome them: and power was given him
over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. |
This was also prophesied by
Daniel:
|
Daniel
7:21-22
I beheld, and the same horn made war with the
Saints,
and prevailed against them; Until the Ancient of
days came, and judgment was given to the
Saints
of
the most High; and the time came that the
Saints
possessed the kingdom.
Daniel
7:25
And he shall speak great words against the most
High, and shall wear out the
Saints
of the most High, and think to change times and
laws: and they shall be given into his hand
until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Daniel
7:27
And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness
of the kingdom under the whole Heaven, shall be
given to the people of the
Saints
of the most High, whose kingdom is an
everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall
serve and obey him. |
These Saints will inherit
an everlasting Kingdom.
These Saints will also
judge the world.
|
1
Corinthians 6:1-2
Dare any of you, having a matter against
another, go to law before the unjust, and not
before the
Saints?
Do ye not know that the
Saints
shall judge the world? and if the world shall be
judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the
smallest matters? |
So, despite
what one believes the definition of a Saint to be ...
One thing
is for sure ...
|
Psalms
116:15
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death
of His
Saints. |
CHRISTIAN SAINTS / BIBLICAL SAINTS IN THE BIBLE HOPE
WHAT ARE SAINTS OF THE BIBLE TO GODMany
Apostles and people from the Bible are commonly known as
Saints, for example:
|
St. Peter
St. Paul
St. David
St. Joseph
St. Mark
St. Mary Magdalene
St. Matthew
St. Luke
St. John
St. Mary |
Some well
known Saints that haven't been mentioned above:
|
St. Francis of Assisi
St. Valentine
St. Patrick
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
St. Nick
St. Ignatius
|
There are a lot of
people that pray TO MARY
and THROUGH some past
Saints. The problem is
that not only does the
Bible NOT say ANYTHING
about praying to her or
through any
Saint, but says just the
opposite. There are a
lot of people who were
raised, believing that
it's proper to ask a
dead Saint for
intercession for them.
Some people think if you
ask St. Christopher to
talk to God, you'll be
protected when you
travel.
Some people think if you
bury a statue of St.
Joseph in your front
yard when your house is
for sale, St. Joseph
will ask God to make the
house sell faster.
Some people believe that
if you lose something
and you ask St. Jude to
have a word with God,
you'll find whatever it
is you lost.
Some people think that
if you say Hail Mary
multiple times, that
your prayer will be
answered, and then you
have to tell 9 friends
about it or all deals
are off.
WHO ARE CHRISTIAN SAINTS / BIBLICAL SAINTS IN THE BIBLE
WHAT ARE SAINTS OF THE BIBLE CALLING
Maybe you were taught
this way of praying and
never questioned it, but
we are taught to PROVE
ALL THINGS.
So let's do a little
probing for proof, shall
we?
The Bible
teaches us to pray in
the name of JESUS.
|
John
14:13-14
And
whatsoever
ye shall
ask in my
name,
that will I
do, that the
Father may
be glorified
in the Son.
If ye shall
ask any
thing in my
name, I will
do it.
|
The Bible is very clear
that JESUS is the
mediator between us and
God and that NOBODY gets
through to the Father
without going through
JESUS.
CHRISTIAN SAINTS / BIBLICAL SAINTS IN THE BIBLE ACTS
WHAT ARE SAINTS OF THE BIBLE GIFTS
REMEMBER ...
|
1 Timothy
2:5
For there is
one God, and
one mediator
between God
and men,
the man
Christ Jesus
... |
Jesus is the ONLY
mediator between man and
God.
|
John 10:9
I am the door:by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved,
and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
|
You MUST enter in the JESUS door to get to God.
|
John
16:23-26
And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, He will give it you.
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs:
but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.
|
So, we are to pray ... To God
through Jesus
by the Holy Spirit.
Again ... The Holy Spirit (Who is truly God's Spirit) talks with our own spirit and shares with God the things that we pray for.
|
Romans
8:26-27
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities:
for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because He maketh intercession for the Saints according to the will of God.
|
CHRISTIAN SAINTS / BIBLICAL SAINTS IN THE BIBLE SUMMARY
WHAT ARE SAINTS OF THE BIBLE CONCLUSION
Ponder on this TRUTH ...
Why would anyone have
you pray through them
instead of Jesus, as it
is written to do?
Would this not hinder
the prayer?
Has Mary or any prophet, Apostle or Christian that you’ve ever read about in the bible ever suggested that you pray to or through themselves to God?
The entire Christian way is based on humility. If you still have your nose turned up because of the way you were taught, there's always one thing you can do ... PRAY ABOUT IT!
Just make sure you do it
in the NAME OF JESUS.
