What is a Christian?

You could look in a dictionary to find some sort of answer to this one – the Oxford English Dictionary defines a Christian as

  1. A person who has received Christian Baptism;
  2. An adherent of Christ’s teaching.

Whilst there’s nothing wrong with these definitions they don’t really capture the full depth of what Christianity is all about.

Being a Christian is all about relationship with God through Jesus Christ and the relationships we find with other Christians because of that.
