What is a Christian?

Summary

Elder Neal Phelan, Jr. preaches on the biblical definition of what it means to be a Christian, emphasizing that Christians were first called such in Antioch and that the term was originally used by enemies to disparage believers. He outlines key characteristics of a Christian: being baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, believing the gospel and cardinal doctrines, being a learner or disciple of Jesus Christ, and having repented of sins. The sermon calls for a revival and a return to a heartfelt, scripture-based faith that honors Jesus Christ. Christians are described as people who acknowledge their sin, believe in Jesus' atoning sacrifice, and seek to grow in their knowledge and relationship with God.
