What does the Bible say about what it means to be a Christian?

Answered in 7 sources

A Christian is someone who recognizes their need for God's grace and is a child of God through faith in Christ.

According to the Bible, a Christian is not merely a good moral person but recognizes their total depravity and inability to save themselves apart from the grace of God. They are made a child of God through adoption and rebirth by the Holy Spirit, as indicated in Ephesians 1:5 and John 1:12-13. A Christian is called to trust in Christ alone for salvation, acknowledging that they are part of a larger community of believers who share in God's grace and mercy.
