2. For the first time those who believed in Jesus as Savior in Antioch
Why was he called a Christian?
1) I studied the Bible consistently for a year.
In Antioch, Barnabas and Paul continued to teach the Bible for a year.
A great crowd not only heard of Christ Jesus from them, but
Everything that is written about Jesus through the Bible, the kingdom of God,
We learned in detail about God's intentions and the work of the Holy Spirit.
Even if you believe in Jesus as your Savior, who is God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit?
If you do not know or understand what God's will is or what the kingdom of God is,
Their thoughts, values, and lives are no different from those of the world.
2) I have seen and learned from teachers who have a perfect life and are full of wisdom and the Holy Spirit.
Most people learn by watching, not learning by listening.
If teaching with words and a person's life are different, people will
You don't live by what that person says, you live by that person's life.
In this respect, the people of Antioch were greatly blessed.
They saw and learned from great teachers who resembled Jesus Christ.
I imitated the lives of those teachers.
3) Christianity was accepted as the universal faith for salvation.
From Antioch, Jewish Christians
Started to preach the gospel to all people in the Gentiles
Christianity is not a Jewish national religion, but God's work of salvation for all mankind.
was beginning to be accepted.
God is the Creator of all mankind, and He sent
Jesus Christ is the Savior of all mankind.
