What exactly is "The True Christian Life?" The word "Christian" is used quite freely today, as people seem to think that doing things such as attending church or going on mission trips or socializing with other like-minded folks automatically marks them as "Christian." But what does the Bible say? The first time the word "Christian" is found was in the days of the early church, detailed in the book of Acts: "And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number who believed turned to the Lord.

What exactly is "The True Christian Life?" The word "Christian" is used quite freely today, as people seem to think that doing things such as attending church or going on mission trips or socializing with other like-minded folks automatically marks them as "Christian." But what does the Bible say? The first time the word "Christian" is found was in the days of the early church, detailed in the book of Acts: "And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number who believed turned to the Lord. The report of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. When he came and saw the grace of God, he was glad, and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose, for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord. So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a great many people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians." (Acts¿ ¿11¿:¿21¿-¿26¿) These verses tell us great numbers of people were turning from their pagan lives and errant beliefs to the Lord; that Barnabas was witnessing the grace of God at work in people's lives; that great numbers were added to the Church; and that it was in Antioch where the disciples were first called "Christians." We can conclude therefore, that people were called Christians because they repented of their sin and placed their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation, and have became disciples or followers of Jesus Christ. What then, according to the Bible, is the "True Christian Life?" It is simply a life modeled after the life of Christ, beginning with salvation, continuing with sanctification and holiness, and ending with eternal life in heaven with Jesus Christ. Living out the Christian life involves embracing the teachings and example of Jesus, allowing His Spirit to transform us, and faithfully following Him in all areas of life. It is not a one-time decision but a lifelong journey of becoming more like Christ and actively engaging in His mission in the world. By loving God and others, seeking holiness, living with faith, and sharing the gospel, a follower of Jesus can truly live out the life He calls them to, bringing glory to God and blessing to others.
