The name Berean Christadelphian is a name of Biblical origin with the name Berean coming from the city of Berea in Biblical times who were commended for ensuring that the words of the apostles agreed to what the Scriptures taught (Acts 17:10-11). Similarly, the name Christadelphian comes from the Greek word meaning brother or relative of Christ which Jesus called his disciples who kept his commandments and remained pure in doctrine (John 14:15; James 3:17) these he styled "My brethren" (John 20:17; Heb. 2:11) therefore, brethren of Christ or Christadelphian. This name was adopted because Berean Christadelphians firmly believe that the Bible is the Word of God and the only source from which a man may be made “wise unto salvation”(2 Tim. 3:15) through daily study and meditation upon the Word and obedience to the divine commands contained therein.
