Question
But why are you called a Christian?
Answer
Because by faith I am a member of Christ1 and so I share in his anointing.2
I am anointed to confess his name,3 to present myself to him as a living sacrifice of thanks,4 to strive with a free conscience against sin and the devil in this life,5 and afterward to reign with Christ over all creation for eternity.6
