God did not design a fragmented church. Matthew 16:18; John 17:20-21; 1 Corinthians 14:33 Why is this point about the church so important? Ephesians 1:22-23; Ephesians 5:23 Are you absolutely sure that you are a part of the Church that Christ built? The safest way to know absolutely sure that you are a part of the Church that Christ built is to be a part of a church which teaches and behaves like the NT church. Attempts to be a part of the Church which Christ built

Christ is in charge. Revelation 17:14; Ephesians 1:22 Many people wear the name “Christian” and claim Jesus as their Lord but do not behave like it. Luke 6:46 This is a lesson in authority. Colossians 3:17; John 14:15; Matthew 28:18-20 Why is authority so important? Matthew 7:21; Matthew 7:13-14 Allows Christ to be in total control of their life.

Two facts: God’s word should guide us. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Our soul is extremely important. Matthew 16:26 Because our souls are so precious, we better make sure we stick closely to God’s word. Add in passages like Revelation 22:18-19 A conservative approach to Christianity demands obedience even if we don’t understand or agree. Commands Examples Sticks closely to God’s word and doesn’t take any chances with their soul.

Allows Christ to be in total control of their life. Attempts to be a part of the Church which Christ built
