Why is a Christian's name important?

Answered in 1 source

A Christian's name signifies their identity in Christ, reflecting their status as followers of God.

The name given to believers, as seen in Acts 11:26, indicates their identity as 'Christians,' or followers of Christ. This name is not merely a label but represents a profound transformation and belonging. Just as a bride takes her husband's name upon marriage, Christians are called by the name of Christ, which signifies inclusion in His family, characterized by His righteousness and grace. This identity shapes how believers should live, as those who are called to follow the teachings and example of Christ.
