How do we know that following Christ will lead to safety?

The assurance of safety in following Christ comes from understanding His sovereignty. In the sermon, it is emphasized that the Savior is sovereign and His effective call ensures that those who follow Him are secure. Scripture emphasizes that no temptation overtakes the believer that is not common to man, and God will provide a way of escape (1 Corinthians 10:13). Therefore, Christians can trust that as they navigate the narrow way of suffering and temptation, they remain under the protective guidance of the sovereign Lord.
