In the Bible, believers are referred to as those set apart for God's purposes, with Romans 1:7 addressing them as "called to be saints." The book of Revelation portrays saints as those who remain faithful to Christ, with Revelation 5:8 and 14:12 highlighting their worship and perseverance. According to 1 Timothy 2:5, Jesus Christ is the mediator between God and these saints, and 1 Corinthians 1:2 greets them as sanctified in Christ Jesus. Through their faith and devotion, saints bring glory to God and embody the Christian life.

May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
