Title: I Am a Saint / Ephesians 1:1
Content I am a saint / Ephesians 1:1
Key Verse: “Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the saints in Ephesus and the faithful in Christ Jesus” (verse 1).
We are holy people. We have negative views about ourselves. For example, if you think, “I am worthless and dirty,” “I am ugly,” “I am not good,” “I am marginalized,” or “I am being bullied,” this is not humility. This is because I did not fully realize that I am a holy person. This is not what God wants. We are God's new children, holy people. The only problem is that we do not live our lives as holy saints. But nevertheless, the saints are clearly saints. However, the guilt that arises from not living as a saint makes us wonder, 'Am I not a saint?'
But don't be fooled. Don't be afraid or ashamed to call them saints. The same is true of calling others saints. We are holy people. Call everyone holy. Call your children, parents and friends holy. Then we will live as more holy people. It is Satan's trick to think that I am unholy. Don't be fooled by the trick. From now on, let's try to live holy lives as holy people.
Guys, don't forget. You and I are holy people. To be holy is to be different from the world. To be holy is to live as a new person, different from the old person. To be holy is to be close to God. To be holy is to live with each other and feel friendship with Jesus. Dear saints, let's try to live each day holy as such holy people. Our country also wants to become a holy people.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for calling us holy. Please guide our people, our society, and our neighbors so that they can live holy lives as a holy nation. I pray in Jesus name, amen.
Lord's Prayer
