Introduction
As Christians we are called to be saints. The Greek word translated ‘saint’ is ‘agios’, ‘holy one’ or ‘set apart one’ or ‘consecrated for His purpose.’
Our Lord Jesus Christ promised the gift of the Holy Spirit to His disciples I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever (John 14:16). He assured them that the Holy Spirit would reveal truth to the Church. When He, the Spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take what is Mine and declare it to you (John 16:13,14). Just before His Ascension our Lord Jesus Christ promised, John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now (Acts 1:5). This word was fulfilled ten days later on the Day of Pentecost.
