What does it mean to be a saint in the Bible?

Answered in 2 sources

A saint in the Bible refers to someone who is set apart, holy, and belongs to God, as described in multiple passages.

In biblical terminology, a saint is defined as a holy one or someone set apart for God's purposes. This concept encompasses every believer, as they are considered sanctified through their union with Christ. Throughout Scripture, particularly in the New Testament, the term 'saints' appears frequently as it describes the collective body of Christ. Believers are not merely given the title of saints; they are made saints by the work of the Holy Spirit, signifying a profound transformation and relationship with God that underscores their calling to live out their faith in service to others.
