Sound Advice for Serious Listeners

1. ANTICIPATE CONFLICT
   (Following Christ will bring
   criticism and division.)
2. ASSESS YOUR SAVIOR (Is He Truly
   Sent to Us from God?)
3. ADJUST YOUR BEHAVIOR (Settle up with
   God thru Christ the Savior, or face
   him as Judge.)

CONCLUSION: Fellow Believers: All the signs show we are following a true Savior, which will lead you into conflict but will never lead you into judgment.

No one enjoys conflict, but that's where following Christ will lead us.
Yes, conflict is never pleasant but judgment is far worse.

Christ comes first to offer himself as Savior, so we can embrace his grace before he comes again, as Judge.

Meeting the Savior means facing some conflict, but meeting the Judge
means paying everything that we owe.

Dear Friends, we owe God a whole lot, but thankfully Christ has already paid the price, for you and me, and for all who can believe it.

Fellow Believers: Keep believing and keep following; others may criticize us for following Christ, but I would much rather embrace heaven's Savior, than to face heaven's Judge.
