The word Christian is gotten from the ancient Greek word
Christianos meaning “follower of Christ” Christos meaning “the anointed one”
with an adjectival ending borrowed from Latin to denote adhering to, or
belonging to. The first usage of this word was to a
particular set of people. This people where ordinary men, leaving in the world
in an extraordinary way. Their life similar to the one they proclaim. The name
was given to them in respond to their life style, they are disciples. This name
is recorded in Act 11:26.
Here comes this big
question, “ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN “. This is a vital question when it comes to
heavenly discussion. The word Christian is not just a title; it is a way of
life. If you are not living the life then know it that you are only having the
title of some one. As we all know today one of the major and most popular religions
is Christianity. We have different denomination, with different doctrine. Come to
think of it before the same person (Jesus Christ) all this denomination of Christian
follow leave the world he prayed this prayer (john 17:20) “my prayer is not for
them alone I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message
that all of them may be one………………may they also be one so that the world may
believe that you have sent me”. If you
study the scripture very well you will understand Christ prayer and how the
answer started surfacing among the early Christian. He said so that the world
may believe that you have sent me, notice in act 11:26 they never called themselves
Christian, it was their life that earn them the name, the people at that time
believe Christ and acknowledge him as been sent by God. “IS YOUR LIFE MAKING
ANY ONE BELIEVING CHRIST AS COMING FROM GOD”?
Christ prayed for
love among them, He said “That all may be one” this is also one of the criteria
of becoming a Christian this was clearly seen among the early Christian as well.
(Acts 4:32) “All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that
any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had”. This call’s for another question are you
sharing what you have with people around you no matter how little it is.
Note: that since we human decide to detached
our self from one body, which is Christianity (disciple), Christ will not let
his death on the cross to be in vain so therefore not minding the denomination
or group his is calling on his citizens from every tribe and languages and
people and nation the people he purchase by his blood.
