The word Christian has been in existence since soon after the first-century Church began. Many people in this 21st century claim that they are Christian without really knowing what the Scriptures say about who the followers of Christ really are (Matthew 7:21-23).

The word Christian will be confusing to anyone who does not have a biblical understanding, because so many nonbiblical beliefs and ideas are called Christian today (Isaiah 29:13-14; Matthew 15:8-9). Few realize that these ideas are not pleasing to God (Proverbs 16:25; Revelation 22:18-19).

We can avoid the trap of being wise in our own eyes (Proverbs 3:7; 12:15). We can search the Scriptures daily, careful to find out what God says about our own ideas, so we can truly claim that we are following Jesus Christ's instructions in worship and festival celebration.

We are the chosen of God (1 Peter 2:9). We are called out of this world and have the opportunity to live by every word of God (Matthew 4:4).

By searching the Scriptures daily to know what God says about His people, we will not follow the deceitfulness of Satan the devil (Revelation 12:9; Colossians 2:8) that is all over the world!
