Am I a Saint?. ( Romans 1 v 7 / 1 Timothy 2 v 5 )
I was watching an old movie,the main actor was William Powell,it was a nice movie, and it touched on something that many dear Roman Catholics, would have appreciated, Sainthood.It involved the thief who was crucified with Jesus,and who confessed the wrongs he had done, and asked Christ to save him,which He did,and the moment he died he went to heaven.And that's it nothing more is said about Him. Now there is no record that He performed any miracle, he was just like the rest of us, a sinner saved by Gods grace,yet in the movie he is classed as a saint , one who we can pray to. Why attribute to him things he cannot do? he does not hear our prayers and cries for help..If he or anyone else did , then they would be taking Jesus place,and He alone is able to take on board all that we bring to Him. We cannot make Jesus redundant,oh no,He is our great high priest,the one who saves us,when we call upon Him like that thief on the cross,and the who ever lives to make intercession for us. The one who is touched with all our weaknesses, the one who alone can help us.Dear Catholic friend look to Jesus and Him alone,for salvation ,remembering that His saving work on Calvary alone saves us .And keep looking to Him every moment of every day, and here is something that may surprise you ,every true Christian is a saint, C P Ephesians 1 v 1/ 2 Corinthians 1 v 2. Adrian Rogers said,there are two kinds of people on earth ,''There are saints, and there are ain'ts''
