FEW in Number but GREAT in GRACE

Then news of these things came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch. When he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord. For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord. Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul.  And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.(Acts 11: 22-26)

So what is a CHRISTian?

Not an action on a SONday morning.... Not a statement made or a repetitious act .... Not money given or time volunteered...Not a title or reward given.

CHRISTianity is most reflected in an experienced and committed lifestyle of love, grace, forgiveness, and devotion.

Barnabas experienced the "grace of God" within the believers in Antioch. They were first known as CHRISTians!

Question: Is  this what others experience when they are around you and me?

CHRISTians are few in number but GREAT in GRACE!
