The name Christian came from the ancient Greek term “Christianos” meaning follower of Christ. Today many people claim the name who follow their own opinions, feelings, and desires instead of following and obeying “Christ in you, the hope of glory,” and His written words. Perhaps we need a more accurate name for a Christ-follower, such as:
A Christ-disciple (“Whoever does not carry their cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.” –Luke 14:17.),A Christ-revealer (“You are the light of the world.” –Matthew 5:14.),A Christ-listener (“My sheep listen to My voice.” –John 10:27.),A Christ-obeyer (“If you love Me, keep My commandments.” –John 14:15.)A Christ-sheep (“I know My sheep by name.” –John 10:14.),A Christ-firster (“Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness.” –Matthew 6:33.).
