Why is it so hard to become a saint?

Answer 1

To become a saint is to surrender your life to Jesus Christ. Once you do that, you are part of the sainthood of believers.

Answer 2

In order to become a saint you must be spritually reborn and to do this you must come to god with a sacrifice and an offering. Your sacrifice is your will that you turn over to him (why will be answered later) your offering is a broken heart and a contrite spirit. Now how do you come to this? There are two predominant ways to do this. One is beating yourself up as you sin repent sin repent until you finally realize you cant do it without christ which brings you to a broken heart and a contrite spirit and that is why you turn your will over to him because you suck at it. The other way is to listen to the spirit and sining or not you do what you feel is what he wants you to do and he will lead you to a broken heart and contrite spirit having already given your will up to follow him. Why is it hard? Because you have a brother and siblings who fought against you and me and our allies in the war in heaven and they didnt get bodies. They are bitter. They know you because unlike us there is no veil in ther minds of the preexistance. They will stop at nothing to get you to fall and not come to this broken heart and contrite spirit. But they dont realize that they are helping you get there faster if you follow christ as best you can.

Answer 3

...What is a saint? The New Testament identifies a saint as a believer in Jesus Christ; observe, from Ephesians 1:1 -
...Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are at Ephesus and who are faithful in Christ Jesus:
***********************************************
...And in 1 Corinthians 2 we read:
...2 To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:
...These are by no means the only verses with "saint" or "saints" in them - there are many others in the New Testament - about 65 different verses.
...Now, to become a saint, is to become a believer in Jesus Christ - by trusting in Him alone for your salvation.
...Whosoever will, may come.

Answer 4

The more saints you have the weaker their influence becomes. I don't want to hear that saints have ever become a dime a dozen.

Answer 5

It's not. Scripture defines a saint as a believer. The Catholic Church redefined the scriptural meaning.

Answer 6

It's not. If you are a Baptized Christian, you already are one. Saint means "set aside for holiness". That happened at your Baptism.

Answer 7

Perhaps when we learn to love unconditionally we shall understand that sainthood is not "worked at" but rather, it is a blessing given freely through Gods grace to any and all creation. Unless ... you mean sainthood in the eyes of man which is unattainable because you can not please all people all the time.

Answer 8

Many people have feelings towards other people of the same sex, and wonder whether this means that they are gay. For many people these feelings can be very intense and alienating. Some people who are attracted to other people of the same sex are gay and go on to have sexual relationships with people of the same sex. But other people who have gay feelings find that these change over time and they become attracted to people of the opposite sex.

Other people are attracted to both men and women, and have relationships with both. Some people are not attracted to anyone and wonder if this is a sign of homosexuality. Often it is only time that will resolve these feelings.

Answer 9

there are so many of them that if it was easier, we'd have such silly ones as Saint Raplh, Patron saint of Frat parties

Answer 10

" Saint" in the Bible refers to anyone who has repented of sin...and received Christ as savior and Lord.
