What is it to be christian.
What does it mean?


Is it simply living by the example steps in the book we call the word of god?
Church tradition tells us that when John, son of Zebadee and brother of James was an old man, his disciples would carry him to church in their arms.
He would simply say, “Little children, love one another”
After a time his disciples wearied at always hearing these same words and asked “Master why do you always say this?
He replied, “it is the Lords command, and if done, it is enough”

My simple definition would be someone who believes and follows Christ's teachings.
