What are Christian saints? Are saints aware of our situation on earth, or are they in a state of limbo, awaiting judgment? Finally, should Christians pray to the saints? In this Seven Minute Seminary, Dr. Jason Vickers proposes a helpful way of thinking about saints as exemplars of the Christian faith, especially in holy living and mission.
Scripture to consider: Ephesians 4:12; Romans 16:2; Acts 9:13; Revelation 4:10, 5:8, 6:9-11.
