Throughout
history there have been and continue to be individuals
whose lives exemplify Christlike behavior. When they die
most of these individuals are forgotten. However, God’s
Word declares, “Precious in the sight of the LORD
is the death of His saints.”
God’s people, whether they’ve lived under
the Old Covenant (Testament) or in the New Covenant (Testament),
are called saints. In other words every authentic believer
is a saint. Some few of these believers are remembered
and honored in special ways.
