Many people say they believe in Jesus. Millions claim to be Christians. Churches are filled every Sunday with people who sincerely think they are saved. Yet Jesus warned that many would be deceived, and the Bible repeatedly calls men not merely to know about Christ, but to believe on Him.

What does it actually mean to believe?

Is saving faith simply agreeing that Jesus existed? Is it repeating a prayer? Walking an aisle? Joining a church? Being baptized? Or does the Bible present something deeper, simpler, and far more personal?

In this powerful and Scripture-saturated book, pastor and author Phillip Hudson examines one of the most important words in the Bible: believe. Beginning with the clear commands of Scripture and following the testimony of Christ Himself, this book explores what biblical faith is, what it is not, and why so many people have mistaken religious activity for genuine belief.

You will discover:

• What it means to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ

• The difference between believing about Jesus and believing Him

• Why secondhand faith can never save

• The connection between faith and the authority of God's Word

• The true meaning of the Gospel and why every part of it matters

• Common misconceptions about salvation that have confused millions

• Why the Bible places such overwhelming emphasis on belief

This book is not an appeal to tradition, denominational teachings, or popular religious practices. It is a call to return to the plain words of Scripture and examine whether your faith rests upon what others have said about Jesus, or upon Jesus Himself.

The question is not whether you are religious. The question is not whether you have prayed a prayer. The question is not whether you believe something about Christ.

The question is this:

Do you believe Him?
