What does it mean to be a saint in the context of God's kingdom?

Answered in 1 source

Being a saint means being set apart by God, belonging to Him, and being under the rule of Christ as King.

In Scripture, saints are defined as those who have been called and set apart by God for His purposes. This designation involves a relationship of belonging—saints are individuals who have been redeemed through Christ's sacrifice and are under His sovereign rule. As indicated in Revelation 15:3 and other passages, being a saint entails living under the lordship of Jesus, who is described as the King of Saints. This position includes enjoying the benefits of salvation, such as being justified and sanctified, and the assurance of eternal life. Saints are also called to persevere in faith, relying on Christ's continued work in their lives to maintain their spiritual vitality.
