You're going to. In touch, the teaching ministry of Dr. Charles Stanley

reaching the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Next on in touch, the basics of faith.

There are two things that are absolutely essential to a right relationship with God.

They are, first of all, belief that God is. Secondly, belief that God will always do what

God says he will do. Apart from these two basic convictions, there is no salvation and there is no

blessing. In fact the right of Hebrew has said it this way. If we're to please God, we

must believe that he is and that he is a reward of those who diligently

seek him or that he will do exactly what he promised.

The basic foundation truth of the whole Christian life is faith.

That's how we relate to God.

That's how we relate to His son Jesus Christ.

And yet that is the one area of our life that probably most people either misunderstand or have the most difficulty with.

Can I trust God? Why don't I trust God?

Oftentimes life feel full of doubt.

Well, this is the beginning of a series

basics? I mean the starting point. This is where we begin in learning to

walk by faith.
