1. A fool values this life more than eternity, James 4:14; Matthew 16:26; Philippians 3:19.

2. A fool thinks he can live the Christian life without Christ, Isaiah 64:6; Jeremiah 4:22; Proverbs 26:11.

3. A fool thinks he can become a Christian merely by the words he says or the actions he performs, John 6:44; Jonah 2:9; John 1:13; Ecclesiastes 10:14; Matthew 7:21; Isaiah 1:5,6.

4. A fool thinks the pleasures of sin are better than the difficulties in obtaining salvation, Luke 13:24; Luke 16:16; Hebrews 11:25,26; Proverbs 14:9.

5. A fool fears man but not God, Matthew 10:28; Proverbs 1:7; Proverbs 29:25.

6. A fool would rather be condemned than pardoned, John 3:18; I Corinthians 1:18; Jeremiah 21:8.

7. A fool puts off his conversion and risks losing his soul, II Corinthians 6:2; Proverbs 27:1; Ecclesiastes 4:5; Psalm 14:1; Titus 3:3; Psalm 69:5; Revelation 1:5.
