What ARE the Believers? Disciples or Christians — Not What they are Called...
So, here's a few things I know. Nobody — ever EARNS — the salvation of God. NOBODY! No one will ever earn their own salvation, by their own good works, based on their own merits to the glory of God. Scripture makes this very clear. "...for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified." (Galatians 2:16). Man cannot save himself. Now, on the other hand, every new creature in Christ Jesus, meaning, those who have been eternally redeemed, reconciled and reinforced by God's redeeming grace, will EMBRACE, ENJOY and EXPRESS His saving work, with the good works of faith, as a steadfast and delighted servant of God and follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. It's only in our culture that a distinction is made between being a disciple of Jesus and a Christian. But Jesus nor His message claims that He came to make Christians. He came to save sinners and those hostile sinners that He saves are new creatures in Christ Jesus who have been born again and converted to be disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The thought of someone being a "Christian" but not a "disciple of Jesus" is biblically unheard of and it holds absolutely no merit scripturally. But somehow, through the ages it has become the norm and acceptable falsehood in our society and churches.
