160 - What Is A Christian?

Encouraging Others Through Christ

The term Christian has worn many cloaks across time.

But if we peel back the layers of doctrine,

institution,

and identity...

at its essence,

to be a Christian originally meant:

One who follows the way,

the life,

and the teachings

of Jesus

the Christ.

Not Jesus as a distant icon.

But Christ as a living frequency.

As divine love embodied.

As the pattern of awakened humanity made visible.

The word Christian was first used in Antioch

almost as a label of curiosity:

They said…

“These are the ones who walk like him.

Who love like him.

Who forgive like him.

Who speak truth to power like him.”

To be a Christian was not about correct belief.

It was about radical embodiment.

It was about becoming like Christ.

The early ones didn’t cling to dogma.

They broke bread.

They healed the sick.

They welcomed the outcast.

They shared all things in common.

They didn’t live as if the kingdom of heaven was coming.

They lived as if the kingdom of heaven was already here.

Within them

as Christ said.

For many, the term Christian has become a noun.

A tribe.

A line in the sand.

But for the awakened, it is still a verb.

A way of being.

A path walked in love,

in service,

in truth.

It is about presence,

not perfection.

It’s about letting heaven pour through you now.

Just remember:

Christ is not a last name.

It is a frequency.

And the Christian is the one who dares to say:

Let it live in me too.
