Originally the word Christian was used to denoted a teacher or leader (saints) of the church. When I say that I am a Christian, it publically identifies me as a follower of Jesus Christ. I am committed to live my life in an extraordinary way. I have a desire for an intimate relationship with Jesus, the son of the ONE and ONLY true living God. In order to become closer to God. The One depicted in the Bible, God's holy word. No additions, no subtractions and no substitutions.

To commune with God in all his forms: The Father who is our creator and team captain. To emulate the son "Jesus" who is our example and savior. To follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit who shows us the way. And finally to live the life as best we can for our sake and others. For we may be the only Bible some people ever see.

It means to fully be submitted to God. It means to know that nothing you've done, will do, or can do will earn you God's love, but only Jesus Christ and trusting on Him and relying on His sacrifice and His ability to change you to follow God's ways will be able to save you. It means to have not only a head knowledge of this, but a heart knowledge and have it reflected in your life.
Note: I am loving the answers keep them coming.

I'm doing great. Realizing how fake some people are and how fake i can be at times too. Praying that God makes me more of a real friend to more people. Praying to be a servant to people. Are we having reunion group today?
