[[Living as a Christian]]
 ----  Christians are followers of Christ. The term '''Christian''' means "belonging to Christ," and is derived from the Greek noun Χριστός Khristós which means "anointed one," which is itself a translation of the Hebrew word Moshiach (Hebrew: משיח , also written "Messiah"). '''Christian''' is primarily an [[adjective]], describing an object associated with [[Christianity]], but is also frequently used as [[noun]] in the same sense (ie, a person associated with Christianity). According to the [[New Testament]], those who followed [[Jesus]] as his [[disciples]] were first called Christians by those who did not share their faith, in the city of [[Antioch]].
