Christian

"From the outset of the pilgrimage the Pilgrim has been called by the name of CHRISTIAN. But this was not always his name. This is his 'new name.' And before this was given him, he was called GRACELESS. This was the name by which he was called in the City of Destruction, until God opened his eyes to behold his state in sin, and gave him grace to flee from the wrath to come. He was by nature without grace, and therefore GRACELESS; but now he is with Christ, and therefore is he called by the name of CHRISTIAN."[1]
