Become A Saint

Bad news
All have sinned (1 Kings 8:46, Job 25:4, Psalm 14:1, Psalm 53:1, Psalm 14:3, Psalm 53:3, Psalm 143:2, Proverbs 20:9, Ecclesiastes 7:20, Roman 3:10, Romans 3:23) and the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).

Good news
But while we are still sinners, Jesus Christ died for us (Isaiah 53:5, Matthew 20:28, Mark 10:45, Romans 4:25, Romans 5:8, 1 Corinthians 15:3, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Galatians 1:4, 1 Peter 3:18, 1 Peter 2:24, 1 John 2:2).

No rejection
All who come to Him, no matter how depraved or sinful, will not be rejected (John 6:37).

Eternal security
And no one can snatch those who believe away from Jesus (John 10:28).

Become saints automatically
You will become saints (members of the household of God) built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone (Ephesians 2:19-20) and receive every gift that God gives which is good and perfect (James 1:17, Romans 8:32).

Promise authenticated
These promises are not made by someone who pop up suddenly in history and then died after preaching something. These promises are made by the only person in the world who was born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14), came back from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:4, Revelation 1:8), whose place (Micah 5:2) and time (Genesis 49:10) of birth and time of death (Daniel 9:26) was predicted, His ministry was ordained from old (Isaiah 9:1-2) and what He did was prophesied in advanced (Psalm 40:7).
