I Ain't an Ain't No More
I ain't no saint - not in the
sense that I am sinless. However, I became a saint when Jesus saved me. I ain't
an ain't no more.
Ninety-nine times, the KJV Bible
uses the word "saint" or "saints." Even though the Bible
doesn't use the term "ain't" the concept is there, besides it rhymes
with "saint," hence today's title. "Saints" are always
those that are God's people - saved people.
Thus, even a nobody like me could
go from the "ain't" side of life to the saint side. As an "ain't" I was bound for an
eternal hell to pay for my sins. Outside of Jesus there was no hope. Jesus is
the portal through the transformation from "ain't" to saint. Now, I
am a cleaned up version of me. I don't deserve the distinction of saint, but
through Jesus, I am.
The good news is that anyone can
go from ain't to saint. Maybe you ain't
a saint, but all your sin can be forgiven and you can become a saint.
"All the saints salute you." II Corinthians 13:13.
