What does the Bible say about being called saints?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that believers are called saints because they are sanctified in Christ Jesus, set apart for His purposes.

In Romans 1:7, the Apostle Paul addresses the believers in Rome as 'called saints', indicating that they are set apart by God. Similarly, in 1 Corinthians 1:2, he calls those in the church of God at Corinth 'sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints'. The term 'saint' signifies that these individuals are sacred or holy because of their relationship with Christ. This calling emphasizes their identity not based on their own actions but solely on God's grace and purpose for their lives.
