WE ARE THE SAINTS OF GOD
Bible Study by Pastor Janice L Williams
All Christians/the body of Christ/faithful followers of JESUS, working & labouring in love for the Kingdom of God, are considered saints by virtue of our connection with JESUS CHRIST.
Ephesians 2:18, 19 NKJV * 18/ For through Him {JESUS} we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. 19/ Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God. A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY AND PECULIAR PEOPLE, WORKING FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD
