And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. Acts 11:26

Today many people claim to be Christians. But there is a difference between calling yourself a Christian and some one else recognizing you as a Christian.

As we read in our opening verse, it is in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians and the word Christian originally meant “follower of Christ”. So they were called by others, Christians, not that they called themselves, Christians.

How many people can look at the way you live your life and say you are indeed a Christian;a follower of Christ?

Jesus said:

“…If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.” ( Matthew 16:24-25)

To be a Christian means to be a follower of Christ and to follow Christ you have deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Jesus daily.

You might be claim to be a Christian but if you’re not a follower of Christ then you are not really a Christian in the real sense of the word.

Jesus is able, capable and willing to reward those who deligently follow Him (Hebrews 11:6). However, we need to abide in Jesus and His word so that we can continue to bear fruits of the Spirit (John 15:4).

Prayer Points

1. Let’s thank God for His word today.
2. Let’s pray that God would help us to carry our cross daily and follow Jesus.
