Show WHAT DOES THE BIBLE TEACH By BOB REYNOLDS Other Names of Members of the Church In articles over the past few weeks we have noticed some of the scriptural names by which members of the Church of Christ may be called. We pointed out that they may be called "disciples," in that a disciple is a learner or follower, and members of the church cf Christ are learners learn-ers or followers of Christ. They may be called "saints," which denotes that they have been sanctified or set apart, from the world into the church. They can be referred to as "brethren," as each true follower of Christ is His brother. bro-ther. The greatest name that members of the church of Christ wear, however, is "Christian," which denotes that a person is trying to pattern his life after His Savior, Jesus Christ. When a person wears this name he honors Him who gave His life for him. Other scriptural names for members of the church are "beloved of God" (Rom. 1:7)"; "sons of God" (Rom. 8:14); "children of God" (Rom. 8:10), and "heirs of God" (Rom. 8:17). These terms refer to our relationship with God and point out that we are to inherit great blessings from God. Church members are also called the "royal priesthood" priest-hood" (1 Tet. 2:9). Each Christian is a priest in that he can "offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ," who is the High Priest (1 Pet. 2:5; Heb. 8:1). Members of the church of Christ may scripturally wear any name in the Bible that refers to a saved believer in Christ. This does not give them the right to take a Bible Bi-ble name that was never used in reference to a member of the Lord's church, and make it such. We must wear those names only that God has given us.
