The book of Acts is God’s record to us of the rise and the expansion of the Christian church, the
church of the believers who were first called followers of the way. Jesus Christ is The Way and as
people followed him because he had said “I am the way”, they were called followers of the way. It’s
the oldest name for believers in extent – followers of the way. Later on because they were
manifesting the love of God and the greatness of the new birth, the Christ in them the hope of glory,
they were called Christians – Christ-in. Because they saw Christ in them, therefore they called them
Christians – Christ-in. So a Christian was to be one who was a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ and
in their walk you could see the Christ. That’s Christian.
