6. BELIEVERS (An extract from 'The Names of the Believers in the Bible in Types and Symbols' )

by Dr Surya Kumar Daimari  
2/22/2021 / Bible Studies

According to B.B. Warfield in his book, “The Biblical Doctrine of Faith”, the word “Believer” is the first name given to Christians. In the N.T., believers are referred to those people who have believed Jesus as the Son of God and accepted Him as their personal Savior on the authority of the word of God. Believing is an essential act of saving faith, an exercise only through which a man can be saved. Peter asked the Philipian jailor,

 

      “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” Acts 16:31

 

A believer is the one who

(i) Exercises his faith on Jesus to be saved. Acts 16:31; Rom 10:9

 

(ii) Exercises his faith to be called the sons of God. Jn 1:12

 

(iii) Exercises his faith on Jesus to be called righteous.

      Rom 3:22, 28

(iv) Exercises his faith to inherit all the spiritual possessions.

      Rom 4:16

 

“Believer” is the most appropriate name given to a Christian who has determined to follow the footsteps of Jesus Christ.
