Acts 11:26b “… And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.”
The disciples after being in Antioch for a year ministering to the gospel and others were first called “Christians,” depicting Christlikeness. However, although every Christian is a believer, not every believer is a Christian. A believer is only a Christian when he “acts like one. We need to realize a Christian isn’t a description but a depiction, a believer is a description. Being a “Christian” requires one to depict Christ-likeness. May we live in a way that depicts Christ and doesn’t describe us.
A big difference between description and depiction, one verbalizes the other illustrates… HSAY
