Your Life God's Way
It’s our life but we should want to live it the way God wants us to.
The Truth Internet Church
A church of God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit
We are a Christian church, serving all who know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and those who would like to know Him. We meet only on the Internet. We have no walls; we have no pews; we have no restrictions, except to always tell
THE TRUTH!
We are a Christ-centered, Spirit-filled, non-denominational church. We believe we should love God and Jesus with all our hearts, and love our neighbors as ourselves. We believe the first church, the only true church, is the one from the Book of Acts, Chapter 2. 1 Corinthians 1:10 NLT says, "Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose." Our simple purpose is to know Christ and make Him known.
Read more about this church and website on the WWWWW page and then read God's vision for us. Each week, on Sunday, there will be music, a short message and more music. We also hope you'll join our Facebook group-TheTruthInternetChurch. Most importantly, if you don't already know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, after your visit here we hope you will.
"Do You Have Enough G.A.S. To Get To Heaven?"
G.A.S.—Genuine, Authentic Salvation
What is it? Do we need it? Do we have it? How do we know?
WHAT IS IT?
As Christians, we believe that when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we have received salvation and have secured our place in Heaven. But what does it really mean to “accept” Jesus; to make Him our Savior and Lord? To fully accept Jesus, and have this genuine, authentic salvation, means we must believe He is the son of God; we must trust Him to do what He promised to do; we must love Him above all others; we must obey His commands. And we must do this from our hearts, not just our heads. Anybody can just say they accept Jesus but that’s not good enough. We need to mean it with our whole being.
DO WE NEED IT?
Well, yes, if you want to get into Heaven. God loves each of us so much and He wants every one of us to be with Him in Heaven. All we must do to get in is to know Jesus and allow Him to be the Lord of our lives. But we can’t just know about Him; we need to really know Him, have a relationship with Him, accept Him and be committed to Him.
DO WE HAVE IT?
That is the question! We may think we do. We think because we do good things and are nice people we’ll go to Heaven when we die. Many more attend church services and think that’s enough. But God is righteous, just, and perfect and He won’t let us into Heaven until we meet His simple criteria: know and accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, and even more importantly, Jesus must know us.
HOW DO WE KNOW?
So, how do we know we’ve truly accepted Jesus from our hearts? For starters, we’ll have peace and joy like we’ve never had before. We’ll also find we want to live our lives the way God wants us to. In this book are 21 examples taken directly from the Bible showing us how God wants us to live our lives.
“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. 22On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ 23But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’” Matthew 7: 21-23 NLT
You knowing who Jesus is, but living your life as you’ve always done, isn’t enough; Jesus must know you. This book gives you ways to show Jesus who you are so that He will come to know you and welcome you into the Kingdom of Heaven.
God loves each and every person and He wants all of us to be in Heaven with Him. But we must love Him, and Jesus, from our heart, not just from our head.

Finally, if you really want to draw closer to God and Jesus and live the life they want you to live, follow the teaching of Paul in Galations 5:16-26 NLT.
Living by the Spirit’s Power
16So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. 17The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. 18But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses.
19When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
22But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. 25Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. 26Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.
AMEN!
About The Author
"I had gone to a church service with some friends and when one of them went forward at the altar call, I did too. I repeated a sinner's prayer, hugged my friend and went home. For six months I never opened a Bible, never went to church and didn't even pray. I didn't do the things I should have been doing and did lots of things I shouldn't have done. But I thought I was 'saved' and was living a 'good Christian life.' I was wrong."
Now, for more than 25 years, John Dallas McCarter has served Jesus Christ in small groups, both as a member and leader; in various local and national ministries and as a church deacon/trustee. With "God's Handbook for New Christians (And maybe for some not so new ones too')" John is following God’s call to tell Christians throughout the world that salvation and living that good Christian life takes more than just repeating a few words at an altar and living the same way as before; it takes a change of heart, it takes becoming a new creation and it takes living life in a different way-God's way.
