What is All Saints Day and how does it relate to the Bible?+
All Saints Day, celebrated on November 1st, commemorates all faithful followers of Christ throughout history, both those explicitly named in Scripture and countless unnamed believers who lived and died as witnesses to their faith. While not explicitly commanded in Scripture, the observance honors the biblical principle found throughout Hebrews 12 of remembering the 'cloud of witnesses' who have gone before us and maintained their faith despite persecution and trials.
Who qualifies as a 'saint' in biblical terms?+
In biblical terminology, a saint is any believer set apart for God's service and devoted to following Christ. The New Testament frequently uses the term 'saints' (Greek: hagios) to refer to members of the local church (e.g., Romans 1:7, 1 Corinthians 1:2), not just a select few with extraordinary spiritual achievements. All Christians are considered saints by virtue of their faith in Christ and their position in Him.
