Hello
The word Christian ( The Latinized Greek term Khristi.a.nos', found three times in the Christian Scriptures, designates followers of Christ Jesus, the exponents of Christianity. Read Acts 11: 26; 26: 28; 1 Peter 4: 16.
" It was first in Antioch ( Syria ) that the disciples were by divine providence called Christians." Read Acts 11: 26."
It is possible, then, that this name was used as early as the year 44 C.E. Some think it was a little later. At any rate, by about 58 C.E, in the city of Caesarea, the term was well known and used even by public officials, for at that time King Herod Agrippa II said to Paul: " In a short time you would persuade me to become a Christian" Read Acts 26: 28.
What the most important is " What it means to be a Christian".
Jesus extended the invitation to be his follower, saying: " if anyone wants to come after me, let him disown himself etc.. Read Matthew 16: 24.
Those who are true Christians have full faith that Jesus Christ is God's specially Anointed One and only begotten Son, the promised Seed who sacrificed his human life as a ransom. Read Matthew 20: 28
Christians view The Bible as the inspired Word of God, absolute truth, beneficial for teaching and disciplining mankind. Read John 17:17; 2Timothy 3: 16; 2Peter 1: 21. More is required of true Christians than a mere confession of faith. It is necessary that belief be demonstrated by works. Read Roman 10: 10; James 2: 17,26.
1Timothy 2: 4,5 reads " Whose will ( God's will ) is tnat all sorts of people should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus. "
John 17: 3 reads. " This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
So the message is quite clear. It is knowledge and works that put into action Jesus' teaching.
Everlasting life on earth has always been God's purpose and that purpose has not changed. Read Psalms 37: 9 and 29 where it is confirmed that the righteous ones will possess the earth and live forever on it.
Adam and Eve were the first to have that opportunity, but have failed when they decided to listen to someone else's voice. Read Genesis 2: 15-17 and Genesis 3: 1-5 16-19
According to 1 John 5: 19 the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one. Revelation 12: 9 describes the wicked one in these words. " The original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth."
The First Book of the Bible, Genesis, shows us how paradise on earth was lost and The last Book of the Bible, Revelation, shows us how paradise on earth will be regained.
The solution for mankind is God's Kingdom, that Jesus told us to pray for. Read Matthew 6: 9,10 where is is written that God's will, will take place in heaven and on earth .
Kind regards
