It means one has faith in the atoning sacrifice of Christ for the sins of mankind.
By faith I mean the following:
Faith commences with the conviction of the mind based on adequate evidence; faith continues in the confidence of the heart or emotions based on conviction, and faith is crowned in the consent of the will, by means of which the conviction and confidence are expressed in conduct.
Key points:
Conviction of the Mind
Confidence of the Heart
Consent of the Will
Conduct of the Body
As you can see from the above, faith affects the whole of a person's nature. Even the demons *believe*. Belief is not enough. Faith without works is dead, just as the fig tree cursed by Christ when it did not bear fruit. By a Christian's fruit you will know their true nature.

to follow his teachings and conduct your life as He would. E.g., feed the hungry, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, visit the sick and imprisoned, bury the dead. Cast the first stone only if you are without sin. Do unto the least of your brothers. Remember that every person has value, and that Christ is in every person, even the most difficult and annoying.
Great question! God bless.

It means you know He's there and He'll always be there for you and never forsake you. It means knowing Him so strongly that nothing, lies, hoaxes, foolishness can change your mind.

It means that you choose to believe in something that has exactly zero evidence. It means that you stop using your reasoning and common sense because you want to believe in a fairy tale. It means you are deluding yourself and avoiding reality.
