0:00.0	Welcome to the In Touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Tuesday, April 7th.
0:06.2	Many people think of Jesus as a philosopher and a great moral teacher, while not believing that He's God.
0:14.2	Today we'll take a closer look at who Christ really is and his qualifications as the Savior of humanity.
0:24.7	Jesus said, except the man be born again,
0:29.7	he cannot see the kingdom of God, nor can he enter into it. He says, marvel not that I said under you, you must, not that you might, not that you ought to, not that you could, not that you should,
0:36.7	you must be born again or you will
0:41.0	never get to heaven. There is only one door and that door is the person of Jesus Christ and the
0:47.4	way a person gets to heaven is by the experience which Jesus called the new birth. Now, let's look at it for a moment. What in the world
0:56.8	did Jesus mean when he said, except a man be born again? The new birth is an experience. It is a
1:04.5	spiritual experience and a person may have many events in their life that lead up to it so that we could say that
1:12.6	it may cover a period of time, but the experience itself is an instantaneous momentary experience
1:21.5	when at that given moment a person recognizing their sinfulness and acknowledging that Jesus Christ died on the cross for their
1:31.0	sin and paid their sin debt in full confesses and repents of their sin and acknowledges their
1:38.2	need of Christ, their dependence upon Him with the forgiveness of their sin, and receives Jesus Christ by faith as their personal Savior for the forgiveness of their sin and receives Jesus Christ by faith as their personal
1:46.8	savior for the forgiveness of their sins and commits themselves to the person of Jesus Christ,
1:52.6	recognizing that Jesus Christ is none other than God himself. That is what is called the new birth experience.
2:04.4	Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation.
2:08.9	The truth is that the new birth experience is exactly what God says it is.
2:12.9	It is a new beginning, is a new birth.
2:16.3	Paul said, if any man be in Christ, he has become a new
2:20.7	creation in Christ so that a person who is born again, not only is there a forgiveness of the
2:27.2	sin, not only is there wiping away of the guilt, but there is the coming of the Holy Spirit
