ALL SAINTS DAY

This year, November 1 is a day designated by many

churches as “All Saints Day.” Who are the saints being

honored and just where can we find them? Webster’s

Dictionary defines a saint as exceptionally charitable

person who is recognized for having obtained

heaven.

The bible describes those who have been saved as

the ones who have obtained heaven. According to

bible scripture Romans 10: 9 – 10, “If you confess with

your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord that God raised

him from the dead, you will be saved. For in the heart

it is believed for righteousness and with the mouth it

is confessed for salvation.

With the truth of this definition all of the churches

on Sunday morning are loaded with believers who are

God’s saints.

In the church that I attend, St. Georges Episcopal

Church in Texas City, Jesus Christ is acknowledged

as Lord in every Sunday service. Through praying the

Nicene Creed we acknowledge Jesus Christ is Lord

and give thanks for his sacrifices. Our regular services

include a confession for sins and a Holy Communion

in remembrance of Him. Other churches do

the same in their own way, some through corporate

prayer and others through song.

Are you currently one of the saints as described

in this writing? Do not allow disbelief or guilt for your

sins to prevent your salvation. God loves you. It is

his strongest desire to obtain a personal intimate relationship

with you. He sent his only son to earth to

suffer death on a cross for the forgiveness of all of

your sins.

All of those saints, those who fill the churches in

your community are sinners. Some including notable

bible characters have committed sins far worse than

yours. Eternal salvation in heaven is a gift from God.

It cannot be earned by anyone. All that is required

is belief and confession. According to 2 Corinthians

5:17, “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new

creation, the old is gone, the new has come.”

Life is a very short period, when compared to eternity.

The ultimate goal for every person should be

spending eternity in heaven with family and friends.

Remember the scripture in Mark 8:36, “You may ignore

God and neglect your salvation – but what shall

it profit a man (person) if he (she) is to gain the whole

world and lose his (her) soul.”
