Even though we live here in our bodies of death an sin, we are a new spiritual creation of God. Born of the God forgiven and pure in His eyes... Jim

For me, it means that I accept his son Jesus Christ as my Savior, who died for my sins(Plenty of them) I know and feel his presence the more I seek him out, the more I pray, the more I read and study his word. It's hard to explain, but I've been a Christian for years, not a good one, but over the last year or so, I have had kind of a change. I was tired of constantly looking for meaning, then one day I finally fell completely apart, I was broken. God picked me up, in a way, showed me some verses that finally made sense. God loves me. His son died for me. I could actually feel his presense. If you seek him out, he will reveal more and more to you. You will actually start understanding the Bible. You will see the works that he does daily. It's weird. I know I am rambling, but for once in my life, and I'm 34, I finally understand it. Having God in your life doesn't make you perfect, just the opposite. It makes you see your shortcomings, but you also are confident in the fact that you are forgiven. You are loved. God makes you whole. He makes you see what life is truly all about. God made a perfect world, but man has screwed it up. Satan screwed it up.

It means that you realize that you have a greater need in your life, that nothing else can fulfill. Sometimes people try everything and they see that it doesn't help. God created us to have relationship with Him. Nothing and no one is going to be able to give you what you're looking for, until you get back to that relationship with God. You desire to know Him and you seek Him, you want Him in your life.

To walk in love. Exist in love. God is love. When u have God in your life, you want to be like Jesus. And Jesus was perfect. To live to be like His image & reciprocate the love God has shown us, is the very meaning of life. Love life.;o]

It means you are so morally weak that you must invent a mental imaginary parent to scold you and keep you honest and productive. You also need entertainment and solace from this mind-invented spirit, and you have meetings with others to discuss your respective imaginary friend/parents and pay money to get instruction on how to cultivate your personal god/demon/mommy/daddy.
This belif system is destructive and counter-productive, as part of the belief system is that you are 'forgiven' whenever you do anything wrong, and authority figures use general belief in such imaginary friends to manipulate opinion and behavior. People also get so wrapped up in it that they defer living in the present moment to the concept that they will enjoy some future happiness with their invented friend. It's all sick, imo.

it means to surrender your emotions, thoughts and actions to God and to serve him in every emotion, thought and deed in your life so that he may constantly be with you no matter what. He created you and so knows every moment in your life before you even live it...

It means you've bought into the self perpetuating delusions of Christianity.
