Let's define what it is to be a Christian. There is a lot of misconception about the word. The word is first mentioned in the book of Acts. After Jesus is crucified, believers were persecuted in Jerusalem and scattered abroad. The term "Christian" was firs used to describe the believers in Antioch.
Key Points:
- The first believers did no call themselves Christians. It was a label given to them by others.
- According to the Bible, no one is born a Christian.
- In the Biblical context, a Christian is not just a believer, follower of Jesus, or a child of God. A Christian is a reflection of Jesus and lives a life that reminds others of Christ.
