The word Christian means someone who is associated with Christ or someone who is a follower of Christ. A Christian is devoted and committed to Jesus who is the Christ, the only Son of God. The term Christian is used in the New Testament only three times (Acts 11:26, Acts 26:28, 1 Peter 4:16).
(Acts 11:26)"And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians." (ESV)
(Acts 26:28)"And Agrippa said to Paul, In a short time would you persuade me to be a Christian?" (ESV)
(1 Peter 4:16)"Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name." (ESV)
