What Is a Christian? Acts 5:16-17, 28

Christian Webster’s New World Dictionary: “A person professing belief in Jesus Christ, or in the religion based on the teachings of Jesus; a decent, respectable person of Jesus Christ, the teachings of Christ, or a religion based on teachings of Christ; Having the qualities demonstrated and taught by Jesus Christ, as love, kindness, etc.” Anyone can profess to have these qualities as defined by Webster – but does that make them a true Christian? God’s Word tells us what a true Christian really is

Heard, Believed, Confessed and was Baptized Christian A disciple of Christ Acts 11:26 A disciple “taught people” Acts 11:19-20 Shown in the example of the Eunuch Acts 8:32-38 Heard, Believed, Confessed and was Baptized

Christian One added to the church Continue to be devoted to the Lord Acts 11:21-24 Acts 2:22, 36-38 Continue to be devoted to the Lord Acts 2:41-42, 47 TRUE CHRISTIAN: taught, believes, repents, confesses, baptized, added to the Lord’s church and continues diligently in the Word of God

Christian Being a Christian requires: Belief Acts 26:20-29 Ready to be persecuted for belief in Jesus 1 Peter 4:16-19

IF YOU ARE A TRUE CHRISTIAN: The REAL meaning of being a Christian: Can’t be taken lightly Jesus MUST come first Luke 14:25-28 Matthew 10:34-39 Luke 9:57-62 IF YOU ARE A TRUE CHRISTIAN: You will INFLUENCE the world around you – an influence that shows others that you are emulating Christ

Take CHRIST out of CHRISTIAN and you have: Am Nothing
