New Testament Greatest Hits

(minus revelation, 

which really speaks for itself)

Matthew 10:37-39

“Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; 

anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 

Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 

Whoever finds their life will lose it, 

and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.

Matthew 22:14

“For many are invited, but few are chosen.”

Luke 4:18-19

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me,

because he has anointed me

to proclaim good news to the poor.

He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners

and recovery of sight for the blind,

to set the oppressed free,

to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

(Seems to be what we're about Lucy )

Luke 9:61-62

Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.”

Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”

Luke 11:8

I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.

Luke 13:33

33 In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—

for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem!

Luke 14:26

 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.

Luke 14:33

In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples

Luke 15:10

In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

Romans 2:19-21

if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark, an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of little children, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth— you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself?

(Seemed to be the point)

Romans 12:6

We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith;

(The stronger the faith?

The more the use of the gift.)

Philippians 1:27-29

Life Worthy of the Gospel

Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. 

Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, 

I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, 

striving together as one for the faith of the gospel 

without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. 

This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, 

but that you will be saved—and that by God.

For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ

 not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him,

2 Corinthians 5:13

If we are “out of our mind,” as some say, 

it is for God; 

if we are in our right mind, it is for you.

2 Corinthians 10:11

Such people should realize that what we are in our letters when we are absent, we will be in our actions when we are present.
