There are only two classes of people in the world: saints and ain’ts. And you’re a saint if you trusted Christ. It’s not your character that makes you a saint; it’s your faith in Jesus Christ. It means you’re set aside for Him. You’re beloved of God. And you’ve been called saints. That’s the kind of saint you are. You’re like Paul—called an apostle. And as he called himself at the beginning, he’s a bondslave of Jesus Christ. Who do you obey? You’re obeying someone today. A saint is one that has come to Jesus Christ, and he’s that because he’s trusted Him and he has been set aside for Jesus Christ.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
