Part of the great rediscovery at the Reformation was the truth that all Christians are saints. We see in 1 Corinthians 1:2 the Congregation of the saints, the Consecration of the saints, and the Calling of the saints.

God is the source and great initiator of all true love: He did not wait for us to seek or deserve Him, but demonstrated His saving love by sending His Son to die for sinners. Through Christ, God awakens love in us, and our love for Him and for others becomes a grateful, imperfect reflection of His grace. This is the crowning evidence of His work in our lives.
