FOUNDATIONAL CHRISTIAN LIVING
THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
Biblical Christianity is more than carrying a religious name. A Christian is a disciple of Jesus Christ—one who has believed the gospel, belongs to Christ, bears His name, and is called to walk in truth, holiness, love, service, and faithful obedience.
“And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.”
