You have to add JFactory/getUser function to check if user is loged in and if not to use JApplication::redirect to redirect him to desired url.

$user = JFactory::getUser();
$app = JFactory::getApplication();

if (!$user->guest) {
  echo "You are logged in";
} else {
  $login_url = "index.php?option=com_users&view=login";
  $app->redirect($login_url,'message to display','message');
}

EDIT:

There are built in methods in joomla to display content only to registered users without any coding.

For articles:

Content -> Article Manager -> *Article_name -> Access: Registered

For Menu Items:

Menus -> *Menu_name -> *Menu_item_title -> Access: Registered

There is also an option to set redirect link after login.

For Menu item login page:

Menus -> *Menu_Name -> New -> Menu Item Type: (Users Manager -> Login Form) -> Options -> Login Redirect

For Login Module:

Extensions -> Module Manager -> New -> Login -> Login Redirection Page

*A quick tip if you haven't login button in your menu is to create a new 'hidden' menu (that won't exist in any frontend position) and place the 'login redirection url' there.

Good Luck!
