This is the name given to those who follow Christ. It literally
means 'Christ-man'.
"So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church
and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called
Christians first at Antioch." (Acts 11:26).
Previously, the Christians had been identified as followers
of 'the Way' (q.v.) taught by Christ.
"Teacher," they said, "We know you are a man
of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance
with the truth." (Matthew 22:16).
"Jesus answered, 'I am the Way and the Truth and the
Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"
(John 14:6).
"However, I [Paul] admit that I worship the God of our
fathers, as a follower of the Way, which they call a sect."
(Acts 24:14).
