Jesus never called us christians, so why does man? I know where the name came from. We have many names after being saved that are not ‘christian’ (Jhn 13:35).
Sincerely,
Don’t Label Me
Dear Don’t Label Me,
The name ‘christian’ is a Bible name. In Acts 11:26, we see believers first using the title ‘christian’. The apostle Peter uses that moniker for Christ’s followers in 1 Pet 4:16. All in all, it is a wholly biblical term.
