Everyone who has received Jesus Christ by faith is a saint. So, that’s us! As Christians, we are saved and “set apart for holy use” by God, to glorify Him and share the good news with those who are not saved.
The world is looking for recognition and distinction. It’s all about “ME” - what makes me happy, how does this advance me, what is in it for me? God takes us and turns our world upside down by turning the M into a W and the ME into WE. We as Christians are unified. We as Christians can love the unlovable. We as Christians become a part of the body of Christ.
In 1 Peter 4:8-10 it says, “Above all, love each other deeply because love covers a multitude of sins.” He’s reminding us that it’s not always easy to love each other because we sin, but we should live with an attitude of love and use our gifts from the Holy Spirit to keep unity in the church.
God doesn’t want us to be an island. He wants us to be a part of His body. Loving the saints is not loving them from afar - it’s being close to them to prop each other up during times of sorrow, trials and to use our gifts in service to each other “as faithful stewards of God’s grace.”
God is commanding us to love one another and it is a choice we must make if we truly love God.
