What Is A Saint of God? Pt. 1
Lyall Johston—August 16, 2025
Transcript
In this enlightening message, Lyall Johnston delves into the profound question: "What is a saint of God?" Drawing from the authority of God's Word, Mr. Johnston explains that a saint is not someone declared by human authority, but one who has been converted, baptized, and has received the Holy Spirit. He powerfully refutes the notion that any person or being has the power to make a man or woman a saint, emphasizing that this is an absolute lie and does not align with Scripture.
Mr. Johnston presents the true focus of a saint, which is to love God with all one's heart, mind, and being. He highlights the twin pillars of a saint's life: seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. The video then centers on the transformative power of letting the "mind of Christ" be in us, as described in Philippians. Lyall Johnston beautifully illustrates how Jesus, our primary example, willingly emptied Himself and took on the form of a servant, even to the point of death on the cross. This humility and obedience, he argues, is the very mind we must strive to possess.
Lyall Johnston further stresses the importance of prayer, study, and fasting as essential tools for allowing the mind of Christ to permeate every aspect of our lives. He encourages viewers to be like the saints of old, who considered themselves strangers and sojourners in this world, seeking a Kingdom built not by human hands but by God Himself. This message is a powerful call to action for all who have been called by God to work out their salvation with fear and trembling, living as blameless and innocent children of God in a world that is becoming increasingly crooked and perverse. Through this teaching, Mr. Johnston provides a clear path for believers to shine as lights in the world, holding forth the Word of Life and ensuring their place in the glorious Kingdom to come.
