Do I really believe in Jesus? This is what happened to my wife. After she came to faith, she kept wondering, am I really okay with God? Am I really saved? Am I really going to heaven? And so she kept praying repeatedly this prayer, God, I believe you are who you claim to be. I believe you're Lord. Come into my life, change my life, change my character, change my values. I received this free gift.

She kept praying these prayers and her mentor who led her to the Lord came up to her one day and said, are you calling God a liar? No, I'm not calling him a liar. Well, the Bible says, but as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in his name. If you believe and you've received, then you have become a liar.

a child of God, according to Scripture. And you don't need to worry, and you always can go back to that. I can go back to November the 8th of 1981, three o'clock in the afternoon, after a two-year investigation where I tried to use my journalism training and legal training to disprove Christianity, and I came to the conclusion, no, it's true.

Jesus not only claimed to be the Son of God, he proved it by returning from the dead, and the historical documentation is overwhelming. And that's when I go back to that moment where I realize I'm in deep weeds because I am a sinner of sinners. I live an immoral, narcissistic, obscene life, and I need God. I confess that, and I admit that, and I turn from that, and I want to receive God.

You as my forgiver and as my leader, I want to receive your free gift of forgiveness and eternal life. Sometimes I need to go back to that and say, did I do that at three o'clock in the afternoon, November the 8th of 1981? Yep, I did. I'm okay. Has God changed my life since then? Absolutely. So I have evidence of it. If there's no evidence of a life change, then you really have to ask,

has God really taken root in my life? Have I really received him as my forgiver, but also my Lord? In other words, someone who leads my life. Is he really leading my life? So I can look back and say, God's changed my character, my values, my worldview, my philosophy, my attitude, my parenting, my marriage, I mean, all these things over time, over time. God's changed for the good.

So I have evidence that I can look at and say, no, I can see God how, because the Bible says in 2 Corinthians, that when a person receives this free gift of God's forgiveness and grace, they become a new creature. The old is gone, the new has come. Doesn't mean we become perfect. We're still struggling in a world of sin to try to follow Jesus as best we can. We still make mistakes.
