Ephesians 5:1 “Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children.”
Defined in
Webster’s 1828 dictionary, the word “Christ” literally translates “the Anointed
One”, an appellation given to the Savior of the World, and synonymous with the Messiah.
The word “Savior” means: One that saves or preserves; but properly applied only
to Jesus Christ, the Redeemer, who has opened the way to everlasting salvation
by His obedience and death, and who is therefore called the Savior, by way of
distinction, the Savior of mankind, the Savior of the world. A “Follower” is
defined as: One who comes,
goes or moves after another, in the same course. One that takes another as his
guide in doctrines, opinions or example; one who receives the opinions, and
imitates the example of another; an imitator. One who obeys,
worships and honors. An adherent; a disciple; one who embraces the same system; the Word, the Will and the Way of God, the Christ,
the Savior.
