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, what it means to believe in Jesus.

What does it mean to believe in Jesus Christ? All through the Bible, you and I find these verses that talk about believing in Him, but what does that mean?

It's very evident in the

scripture that in order for a person to have their sins forgiven, in order to be

saved, as we would say, in order to go to heaven a person must place their faith in must

believe must place their trust in Jesus Christ. Well what does it mean to

believe in Jesus? Well that's what I want to talk about in this message because

there are so many people who think they believe in Jesus Christ but who do not

really and truly understand what that means. So I want you to turn, if you will, to John Chapter 3 and

that verse of scripture in John that's the most familiar of all, John 316. You say, well,

I know that one by heart. Well, I'm sure that most of you probably do but I want you to turn there if you will for a moment I want us to read this verse Jesus was talking to a very

knowledgeable man Nicodem, about his relationship with God.

And he said to him, except the man be born again, you cannot see the kingdom of God.

And so in the course of that discussion, Jesus comes down to say in verse 15 that

who sover believes may who so believes may in him have eternal life.

And then he says in verse 16 16 for God so love the world that he gave his

only begotten son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have

eternal life or everlasting life but what does it mean to

believe in Jesus Christ? Well that is the purpose of this message and what I want to do

is to explain from a biblical point of view what does it mean to place your trust in him.

How do you know that you've done that?
