We Are the Saints

Historical Account★★★★

Among documents found in an old New England church were these resolutions: “Be it resolved: The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. Be it resolved: That the fullness thereof belongs to the saints. Be it resolved: That we are the saints!” SALVATION

— SAINT

Also attributed to: Unknown

The point

Resolutions found in an old church declare that the earth is the Lord's, then that it belongs to the saints, and finally that 'we are the saints,' satirizing self-righteousness and misapplied stewardship.
