“Fully Qualified”

Colossians 1: 12: “Giving thanks to the Father, Who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.” What qualifies one to be a saint, and receive a saintly inheritance? It doesn’t really come by saintly thoughts, saintly deeds, or saintly words. The only valid qualification is: “The Father said so!” In this matter He has the first word, the last word, the only word; it’s up to our God Whose lovingkindness endures forever.
