| Easton's Bible Dictionary One separated from the world and consecrated to God; one holy by profession and by covenant; a believer in Christ (Psalm 16:3; Romans 1:7; 8:27; Philippians 1:1; Hebrews 6:10). The "saints" spoken of in Jude 1:14 are probably not the disciples of Christ, but the "innumerable company of angels" (Hebrews 12:22; Psalm 68:17), with reference to Deuteronomy 33:2. This word is also used of the holy dead (Matthew 27:52; Revelation 18:24). It was not used as a distinctive title of the apostles and evangelists and of a "spiritual nobility" till the fourth century. In that sense it is not a scriptural title. Noah Webster's Dictionary 1. (n.) A person sanctified; a holy or godly person; one eminent for piety and virtue; any true Christian, as being redeemed and consecrated to God. 2. (n.) One of the blessed in heaven. 3. (n.) One canonized by the church. 4. (v. t.) To make a saint of; to enroll among the saints by an offical act, as of the pope; to canonize; to give the title or reputation of a saint to (some one). 5.
