All Saints' Day (Traditional)
“There is only one thing that makes a saint—and it has nothing to do with our own actions, but everything to do with God’s initiative.”
On All Saints’ Day, Rev. Cody Turner reminds us that sainthood is not earned through deeds, discipline, or spiritual strength. It begins and ends in the mercy of God. Through baptism, we are united with Christ, hidden in Him, and made new creations.
The saints—both famous and familiar—show us that holiness is not about perfection, but participation in the grace of God. As we are drenched in that grace, we become who we already are: beloved saints.
“The love of God does not find, but creates that which is pleasing to it.” — Martin Luther
📖 Scripture: Ephesians 1:11–23
