If you want to walk with Christ moment by moment in this life while evaluating everything according to God you WILL be at odds with nearly everyone around you, even those who say they are Christians.
Matthew 10:31-39
31 So do not fear; you are more valuable than a great number of sparrows.
32 “Therefore, everyone who confesses Me before people, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven.
33 But whoever denies Me before people, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.
34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 For I came to turn a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
36 and a person’s enemies will be the members of his household.
37 “The one who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me, and the one who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.
38 And the one who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.
39 The one who has found his life will lose it, and the one who has lost his life on My account will find it.
Matthew 19:29-30
29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms on account of My name, will receive many times as much and will inherit eternal life.
30 But many who are first will be last; and the last, first."
