Don’t you want to be a saint? Here’s how you become a saint.

Step 1: Be saved.

If you don’t know how to be saved check this article or simply listen to the wise words of the apostle Paul: “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Rom 10:9)

Step 2:

There is no step 2, you’re already a saint! 😀 Congratulations, well done saint. There is no need for any pope. There is no need for any canonization. All it takes to be a saint is to follow Christ, and here are som Bible verses that prove this:

“Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he did to Your saints at Jerusalem” (Acts 9:13)

“I ask you to receive sister Phoebe in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints …” (Romans 16:2).

“For the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ” (Ephesians 4:12).

“…the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints, to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” (Colossians 1:26-27)

“All the saints greet you, especially those of Caesar’s household.” (Philippians 4:22)

It’s important to note though that we are saints as long as we continously seek sanctification. Just claiming to follow Christ isn’t enough, we must actively strive for holiness:

“But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints” (Ephesians 5:3).

What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? (Romans 6:1-2)

As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:14-16)

God has created a new self in us that is holy and righteous like God, unable to sin. Our saintly self.

Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. (Col 3:9-10)

You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. (Ephesians 4:22-24)

If our old self sins, there is constant forgiveness in the Name of Jesus:

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us. (1 John 1:9-10)

So keep on sanctifying, dear saint. And follow my YouTube channel. 🙂 God bless you!
