The Definition of the word Saint

Saint

One separated from the world and consecrated to God; one holy by profession and by covenant; a believer in Christ (Ps. 16:3; Rom. 1:7; 8:27; Phil. 1:1; Heb. 6:10). "The "saints" spoken of in Jude 1:14 are probably not the "disciples of Christ, but the "innumerable company of angels" "(Heb. 12:22; Ps. 68:17), with reference to Deut. 33:2." "This word is also used of the holy dead (Matt. 27:52; Rev. 18:24). It was not used as a distinctive title of the apostles "and evangelists and of a "spiritual nobility" till the fourth" century. In that sense it is not a scriptural title.
