A growing majority of Christians today believes that all that is necessary for salvation is an individual's faith in Jesus. Mega churches everywhere proclaim this "Jesus and Me" theology, built around a simple application of John 3:16, downplaying the need for membership in any religious community, the practice of any rituals, the reception of any sacraments, the submission to any leaders, or the adherence to any set of doctrines. Salvation is merely by faith alone in Jesus alone by grace alone. But is this biblically, theologically, and historically sound?

This text helps you learn the Word of God and see yourself in a new light that your parents or teachers may not have explained. Rethink possible.

The text contains testimonies, exhortations, and moral lessons that portray common lifestyles of teenagers. Scriptural references provide basic fundamentals and teachings of salvation, faith, repentance. The outline heightens teens’ awareness of God’s presence within them. The internal battle of spirit versus flesh is identified to prepare youth to resist temptation and overcome obstacles. Each subtopic concludes with a lesson review which consists of multiple choice, true/false, fill-in-the-blank questions. Each question has a scriptural reference to assist research and memorization of the Holy Scriptures. “Check Yourself” is provided to emphasize how the biblical teachings can be directly applied to individual circumstances, mindset, or development. Make that change! Choose to be set free from relational traps and locked-up mindsets that steal your joy, peace, and freedom to be who God has called you to be. I pray this message leads you to God’s purpose for your life. Do you believe?

Examines the historical reliability of the portrait of Jesus in the Gospels and surveys the findings of New Testament scholarship

Man has a problem and God has an answer in Christ. How the do we respond? Dr. Graham gives the answer in simple, direct, and dynamic language. But he does not stop with the moment of the new birth, for newborns have a lot of growing to do. Here also is essential guidance to take them further, for they can scarcely realize so soon the potential of the new power God can release from deep within them. How to Be Born Again is at once universal and personal, for the new Christian and for the Christian along the way – an irresistible primer for finding salvation, a guidebook for continuing growth.

What does it mean to repent? Can we be saved if we don't repent? Does the command to repent in Scripture mean that we aren't saved through faith alone? Does true repentance mean we never commit the same sin again? As we consider Jesus' call to repent and believe the gospel, we often find ourselves asking these questions and many others. Dr. R.C. Sproul examines the biblical concept of repentance as a turning from one's old way of life. He holds up biblical models of repentance and considers repentance as it relates to being born again, helping us to understand what true repentance looks like.
