What does it really mean to "believe in Jesus"? Nicodemus believed some things about Jesus—but he wasn’t yet born again. Peter was already born again—but he didn’t believe Jesus would go to the cross. In this video, we explore exactly what a person must believe about Jesus to receive the irrevocably free gift of eternal life. From a Free Grace perspective, we take a close look at real examples in Scripture—Nicodemus, the woman at the well, and the disciples—to show that a person doesn’t need perfect theology or a complete understanding of Jesus’ death and resurrection to be born again. Jesus made it simple: believe His promise of eternal life, and it’s yours. If you've ever wondered: What do I have to believe to be saved? Is it enough to simply believe in Jesus? Can someone be saved without knowing about the cross or resurrection? This video brings biblical clarity.
“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You lock up the kingdom of heaven from people. For you don’t go in, and you don’t allow those entering to go in. This is for all of you who make salvation a strict formula and who think they decide who enters the Kingdom of God.
When a person believes “in Him” they receive 39 blessings.
