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

Answered in 12 sources

The Bible describes Christians as those who have been transformed by faith in Jesus Christ, having their eyes opened to truth and being delivered from darkness.

According to the Bible, being a Christian means being a disciple of Christ, someone who has been enlightened and turned from darkness to light (Acts 26:18). Christians are described as having their spiritual eyes opened and being given understanding of the gospel. As mentioned in Ephesians 1:18, their understanding is enlightened to know the hope of God's calling. Furthermore, a Christian is one who has been delivered from the power of Satan and is now under the influence of the Holy Spirit, indicating a profound transformation in their life and choices. They are set apart as members of God’s family, living out their faith in a way that reflects their new identity in Christ.
