Saints 01 - Saint Patrick

The term “saint” in the New Testament comes from the Greek word Hagios. Many times translations do not always represent the true power of words they are translating. In a real sense, because God is pure, that purity would make His priests also pure. Hagios in its true and proper meaning is “to dedicate, to consecrate;” more specifically to consecrate to God. In the New Testament this word also indicates a consecration to God which results in God’s righteousness being laid upon a person.
