You see for Paul, saint, the word saint, it's an identity, it's a shared identity among followers of Jesus Christ. Paul says you all, y'all, are already saints. That is you belong to God. You belong to each other. You are already a part of this family and that matters because identity shapes our behavior. So often we think our behavior shapes our identity. We gotta get these things right before we are this thing. But Paul flips that script that we think and he says, no, no, no. You are saints.
