What does the Bible say about what a Christian is?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that a Christian is one who is justified by faith in Jesus Christ, recognizing that salvation is not based on works.

According to Galatians 2:16-21, a Christian is defined as someone who understands that justification comes solely through faith in Jesus Christ, rather than from works of the law. A Christian possesses a unique knowledge that distinguishes them from non-Christians: they recognize their inability to save themselves through their own efforts and place complete trust in the redemptive work of Christ. The passage emphasizes that believers live out their faith in the context of their union with Christ's death and resurrection, hence they are no longer reliant on their adherence to the law for their salvation.
