1. Matthew 16:24-26 John 10:27 1 Peter 1:21-24 Are You Following Jesus? 1

2. Matthew 16:24-26 24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 2

3. John 10:27 26 But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 3

4. 21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: 22 Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth"; 23 who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; 24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness — by whose stripes you were healed. 1 Peter 2:21-24 4

5. Are You… Walking With Jesus? or Not Walking With Jesus? 5

6. In Love By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. John 13.35 If anyone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother. 1 John 4:20-21 6 We Must Walk With Jesus…

7. Hates His Brother Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 1 John 3:15 20 If anyone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. 1 John 4:20 No One Follows Jesus Who… 7

8. In Humility So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet John 13:12-14 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross Philippians 2:5-8 8 We Must Walk With Jesus…

9. Exalts Self And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted Luke 18:9-14 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith Romans 12:3 No One Follows Jesus Who… 9

10. In Compassion And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things Mark 6:34 10 We Must Walk With Jesus…

11. Lacks Compassion Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous 1 Peter 3:8 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 1 John 3:17 No One Follows Jesus Who… 11

12. In Speaking As God Commands If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen 1 Peter 4:11 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things John 8:28 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak John 12:49-50 12 We Must Walk With Jesus…

13. Believes-Teaches Doctrines of Men Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men Matthew 15:7-9 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed Galatians 1:8-9 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy… Colossians 2:8 No One Follows Jesus Who… 13

14. In Work I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work John 9:4 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me John 5:36 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do John 17:4 14 We Must Walk With Jesus…

15. Refuses to Work Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord 1 Corinthians 15:58 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed James 1:25 No One Follows Jesus Who… 15

16. With Concern For The Lost For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost Luke 19:10 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness John 12:46 16 We Must Walk With Jesus…

17. Has No Concern For The Lost And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned Mark 16:15-16 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted Galatians 6:1 No One Follows Jesus Who… 17

18. In Generosity Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many Matthew 20:28 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen Galatians 1:3-5 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour Ephesians 5:2 18 We Must Walk With Jesus…

19. Is Covetous For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God Ephesians 5:5 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 No One Follows Jesus Who… 19

20. In Faithful Obedience Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many Hebrews 5:8-9 20 We Must Walk With Jesus…

21. Refuses or Neglects To Obey And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9 No One Follows Jesus Who… 21

22. In Hating Iniquity Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows Hebrews 1:9 22 We Must Walk With Jesus…

23. Compromises With Sin & Error For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God Romans 8:5-8 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them Ephesians 5:11 No One Follows Jesus Who… 23

24. Be followers of me, even as I also am of Christ We Must Heeds Paul’s Words - 1 Cor. 11:1 24
