The word "Christian" is found three times in The Bible. The first is found in Acts chapter 11, verse 26. The second is located in Acts chapter 26, verse 28. The third and final reference is in First Peter, chapter 4, verse 16. It was originally a derisive term which in Koine Greek means "Little Christ." Because the early Christians believed they were commanded to imitate Jesus Christ, they accepted and embraced the term.
