Misconception #3- The Christian is Christ-Like!

Who said so? There is not a single scripture in God's Holy word to support this assumption. Well, someone's going to say, 'But the believers were called Christians in Antioch because they were 'Christ-like'. First of all, the Word, 'Christian' means 'follower of Christ'. The believers weren't called Christians because they acted like Christ, they were called Christians because they preached Christ. Remember, Antioch was a Gentile City that delighted in wisdom. They had names for the followers of the founders of different schools of thought such as Socrates, Plato, etc. Now, some folks come preaching about a Christ, so they call them Christians. There is no way they could call them Christians because they were Christ-like because Jesus never lived in Antioch and there was no way to compare the lives of the believers and Christ! The Word, 'Christian' is the World's definition of what God calls a New Creation. Conversely, what God calls a New Creation is what the World calls a Christian! When God sees us, he doesn't see Christians, he smells Christ- 2 Corinthians 2:15! The believer is not Christ-like, he is Christ; Jesus is Christ, the head, we are Christ, the body! #Epignosis #GreaterGlory
