I’m not very schooled in the Bible. Where in the Bible are Saints discussed? What is the role of the Saints? Are Saints only in the Catholic version of Christianity?

Th saints are those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. They have repented for their sins and accepted Jesus’ blood sacrifice as atonement. They do not trust in their own good works but rely entirely on God’s grace. They do not belong to any particular denomination of organized Christianity.

The saints are those described, for example, in the sermon texts I posted: Matthew 5:1-12; 1 John 3:1-3; Revelation 7:9-17. And in many other places.
