 Sermon Study Questions 

Called To Be A Saints  Colossians 1:1-14 

Purpose: To challenge us to answer the call of God and live as saints.

 What is the definition of a saint? To be a saint means to that you have been sanctified or set apart. To be sanctified by God means that God has set you apart for His work. He has taken you away from what you were doing and has designated an assignment and a place for  you in His Kingdom.

Saints are those who answer (abide in) the call of Jesus to the Gospel of God. How do we do that? What does that look like in real life? The answer is in the text, so let’s turn to the text so that we can discover the attributes of a saint of God…
