Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. I  Corinthians 1:1-3

In the passage of Scripture quoted above Paul tells us that believers in the Age of Grace are “sanctified . . . called to be saints”.  The names and titles by which God identifies an individual or group give us great insight into the role that that person or group plays in God’s plan and purpose.
