What Is a Christian?

In faith, a believer. "He that believeth shall be saved." In knowledge, a disciple. "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples." In character, a saint. "Beloved of God, called to be saints." In influence, a light. "Ye are the light of the world." In conflict, a soldier. "Thou, therefore, endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ." In communion, a friend. "Henceforth I call you not servants, but have called you friends." In relationship, a child. ''The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God." In expectation, an heir. "And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ." In actual inheritance and possession, soon to be glorified. "Whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate; whom he did predestinate, them he also called; and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified."--Anon
