Saint David

You are a saint.  A holy and sanctified one set apart for the purposes of God.  What does it mean to be a saint?  Biblically it is not someone the Catholic Church declares to be a saint.  All people who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are saints.  That is who are the saints, but what is a saint?

A Saint is someone who is Holy.  Israel was declared holy by God, a nation set apart from all other nations for God's purposes.  From the nation of Israel, the Levites were separated and from the Levites, God separated the cohanim to a holier calling as the priest. The holiest priest was the High Priest who once a year went into the Holy of Holies alone to sprinkle blood on the mercy seat for the sins of the nation.  Every degree of holiness was matched with an equal degree of separation unto God.

The most separated people were the holiest people.  A saint is a person separated from the world and given to the purposes of God.  The more separated we are, the holier we are.  God desires us to be separate. To stand out from the world because we now have the mind of Christ so that those in the world will see Him and desire to come to God.  We are to separate ourselves from the world but love the people in the world back to Christ.

If Jesus is your Saviour, then you are a Holy vessel of God set apart for sacred work in the world.  You are a saint of the living God.
