So I got saved.. and that means what? 

What does it really mean?  What's my identity now?  A friend said something to me upon telling her that I got saved... She said " That's nice but don't be too spiritual, and start lying to yourself.." So I asked her how much is spiritual, or too spiritual isn't that relative?..dependent on who's looking?

Then I remembered that He doesn't love me because I am a spiritual person.  But He is very pleased and happy when I trust Him and listen to Him. 

It's not about being afraid of God, it's about hating deception... It's not about not having passions and instincts - it's about choosing to be in control of them so I may keep myself stress free and God's temple undefiled..

It's not about me sinning, it's about me bringing that sin to Him and asking Him to forgive me.  Let's go over that one again.. it's not about why I lied or how small or big or yellow or red the lie was, it's about I lied when I should have said the truth.. and getting forgiven for that and making a resolve to do better in future.

It's also about addressing my reason for lying..for example about the experience on my resume - no it's not because I needed the job so bad..it's because I wasn't able to trust God to provide what He said He could. 

It is also not about praying in tongues, and miracles and signs it's about keeping the faith new each day.. The faith that Jesus loves me.. that I can trust Him. My battle is not to make sure I fast every day but to believe that He loves me - every day.. and that He is Lord every day and that we will do things His way every day. 

Am I right to think this way?  Can I support this with scripture..?  Please share...
