What is the significance of being called saints according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Being called saints signifies a believer's identity in Christ and their set-apartness for God's purposes.

In the New Testament, believers are frequently referred to as 'saints,' which signifies their identification with Christ and their calling to live set-apart for God's purposes. In Romans 1:7, Paul writes to 'all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints.' This calling reflects God's work of grace in a believer's life, transforming them from sinners into holy ones who belong to Him. The term 'saint' highlights both a believer's position in Christ and their responsibility to live according to the holiness and righteousness that God requires. It is a profound reminder that, through Christ, we are redeemed and empowered to fulfill God's mission.
