"Just Because You Go To Church..."

Jesus says in the Bible, Matthew 7:21 NLT, “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.

Just because you go to church, or because you’re a “good” person and help other people doesn’t mean you’ll go to Heaven when you die. There is only one way to get into Heaven and that is through God’s Son, Jesus. However, you can’t just know who Jesus is and what He did. You must know Him and accept Him as your Lord and Savior, and He must know you! That is God’s will. God loves each and every person, including you, and He wants all of us to be in Heaven with Him. While going to church and being a good person are both good things, they just aren't good enough to get you into Heaven. You knowing who Jesus is but living your life as you’ve always done also isn’t enough.

How do we get Jesus to really know us? The simple answer is that in this book you’ll find ways to live your life so that Jesus will come to know you and who you are. You will also find ways to live a life that’s pleasing to God and Jesus; ways to live a more fulfilling life; ways to set yourself apart as a follower of Christ; and ways to draw closer to God and Jesus.

This book gives you ways to change your life to show Jesus who you are so that He will come to know you and welcome you into the Kingdom of Heaven.

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.
