I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the radiant and brilliant Morning Star. The problem is we do not recognise or perceive the benefits until we are awakened or born again to the reality as children of God. Paul called the saints at Ephesus who are also faithful and loyal and steadfast in Christ Jesus, saints. The word "saints" means "holy ones" or holy ones separated from God. If we believe the word of God that we are holy, then what is it that holy people do?

In God's view through the Son we are saints, and the sooner we comprehend this the quicker we will begin to manifest the works of holiness in our new life. In some religious circles it is only a few who decide, by special criteria, who can be called a saint. Believers are not of the flesh but Spirit, who has set us free from the power of sin and death. When we see ourselves as God sees us as saints; it will change our perspective on sin and its power. Believers have been awaked to a new reality as children of God.
