Saints and Faithful Brethren Colossians 1:1-4

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, 2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are in Colosse: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints

SAINTS From a Greek word (hagios) – consecrated to God, holy, sacred, pious, separated for a special purpose or cause Acts 9:13 Then Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem. Acts 9:32 Now it came to pass, as Peter went through all parts of the country, that he also came down to the saints who dwelt in Lydda.

SAINTS Acts 26:10 This I also did in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them. Philippians 4:21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you. NOTE: Always in the plural – a group – set apart for the Lord

SAINTS Godly Character Romans 16:2 that you may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her in whatever business she has need of you; for indeed she has been a helper of many and of myself also. Ephesians 4:12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,

SAINTS Godly Character Ephesians 5:3 But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; 1 Corinthians 1:2 To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

SAINTS SAINTS = Christians, members of the body of Christ, members of the church In the NT – All Christians were considered saints

SAINTS SAINTS = Christians, members of the body of Christ, members of the church In the NT – All Christians were considered saints Wrong Views - Dead for many years, 2 miracles they did - Super Christian, extra special, above most

AND Grammar – a conjuntion – ties two disticnt things together Husband AND Wife Repent AND be Baptized – Acts 2:38 Believes AND is Baptized – Mark 16:16

FAITHFUL BRETHREN “Faithful” 53 times in the NT 1 Corinthians 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful. 2 Timothy 2:2 And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

FAITHFUL BRETHREN 1 Peter 5:12 By Silvanus, our faithful brother as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand. Matthew 25:21 His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'

FAITHFUL BRETHREN Saint = a Christian If you are a Christian (saint) I am glad ALL CHRISTIANS ARE SAINTS, BUT ARE YOU ALSO FAITHFUL?
