@Livingwater Study 1 CHRISTIANS CALLED BY A NEW NAME Happy Sunday! Scripture Portion: 1 Peter 4: 12-19 One word we are all familiar with is the word ‘‘Christian’’. Most of us possess a Christian name, and many people in a very broad and nominal sense would call themselves Christians, but are they Christians in the New Testament sense of the word? Some think that because they are born in a ‘‘Christian’’ country or have received a ‘‘Christian’’ education, or have affiliated themselves to a Christian church and adopt Christian principles, that this is all they need to do to become a Christian. The fact is that we can do all these things and still not be a Christian, for these things are external. It is possible to be a church member, good, moral and kind, and still not be a Christian.
