This term is synonymous with Christians and is used throughout the New Testament to describe those who have accepted the gospel message and are part of the body of Christ.<br><br><b>Faith and Salvation</b><br><br>Believers are characterized by their faith in Jesus Christ, which is the cornerstone of their salvation. <a href="/ephesians/2-8.htm">Ephesians 2:8-9</a> states, "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast." This passage emphasizes that salvation is a gift from God, received through faith, and not earned by human efforts.<br><br><b>Identity in Christ</b><br><br>Believers are identified as children of God, having been adopted into His family through faith in Christ. <a href="/john/1-12.htm">John 1:12</a> affirms, "But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God." This new identity transforms believers, setting them apart as God's own people.<br><br><b>The Body of Christ</b><br><br>The New Testament frequently describes believers as members of the body of Christ, highlighting the unity and diversity within the church. <a href="/1_corinthians/12-27.htm">1 Corinthians 12:27</a> states, "Now you are the body of Christ, and each of you is a member of it." This metaphor illustrates the interconnectedness of believers, each with unique gifts and roles, working together to fulfill God's purposes.<br><br><b>The Role of the Holy Spirit</b><br><br>Believers are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, who empowers, guides, and sanctifies them. <a href="/romans/8-9.htm">Romans 8:9</a> declares, "You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ." The presence of the Holy Spirit is a defining mark of a believer, enabling them to live a life pleasing to God.<br><br><b>The Great Commission</b><br><br>Believers are called to participate in the Great Commission, sharing the gospel and making disciples of all nations. <a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19-20</a> records Jesus' command: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." This mission is central to the life and purpose of believers.<br><br><b>Perseverance and Hope</b><br><br>Believers are encouraged to persevere in their faith, holding fast to the hope of eternal life. <a href="/hebrews/10-23.htm">Hebrews 10:23</a> exhorts, "Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful." This hope is anchored in the promises of God and the assurance of Christ's return.<br><br><b>Community and Fellowship</b><br><br>The early church exemplified the importance of community and fellowship among believers. <a href="/acts/2-42.htm">Acts 2:42</a> describes their devotion: "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." This communal life is vital for spiritual growth, encouragement, and accountability.<br><br><b>Love and Service</b><br><br>Believers are called to love one another and serve others, reflecting the love of Christ. <a href="/john/13-34.htm">John 13:34-35</a> records Jesus' command: "A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another." This love is the hallmark of a true believer and a powerful testimony to the world.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">BELIEVERS</span><p>be-lev'-ers (in the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American) of <a href="/acts/5-14.htm">Acts 5:14</a>, for posteuontes, the Revised Version, margin "believing"; in the King James Version of <a href="/1_timothy/4-12.htm">1 Timothy 4:12</a> for hoi pistoi, the Revised Version (British and American) "them that believe"): Equivalent phrases, they (he, she) that believe (for hoi pepisteukotes; hoi, pisteuontes; (adj.), pistos, etc.) occur frequently as a regular description of those who professed their faith in Christ, and attached themselves to the Christian church. The one essential condition of admission into the Christian community was, that men should believe in Jesus Christ (<a href="/acts/16-31.htm">Acts 16:31</a>). The actual experiences of the men thus denoted varied with all the possible degrees and modifications of FAITH (which see). Believers are nowhere in the New Testament distinguished as a subordinate class from the "Christians who know" as in the Gnostic antithesis of pistikoi and gnostikoi, "believers" and "knowers."<br><br>T.
