“Under the old covenant, people were commanded to love their neighbors as they loved themselves. In other words, they could only love others as much as they loved themselves. The new covenant raised the standard. According to John 15:12, our standard for how we love other people is not our love for ourselves but Jesus’ love for us. The law of the new covenant is simply love.”
― Jonathan Welton, Understanding the Whole Bible: The King, The Kingdom and the New Covenant

“He may worship God who shouts until the earth rings, and God may accept him. But he may worship God as truly who sits in silence before the Most High and says not even a word. It is the spiritual worship which is most acceptable to God, not the external in any shape or form. It is the heart that has fellowship with the Lord, and it needs little in the way of expressing itself—neither has God tied it down to this way or that. It may find its own methods of utterance so long as it is truly ‘moved by the Holy Spirit.”

“If Christ has healed you, obey Him! Obey Him at once, obey Him exactly, obey Him in everything, be it little, or be it great! If some say it is nonessential, remember that what is not essential to salvation may be essential to obedience! Do it if Jesus commanded it. Do it whether it appears to you to be essential or not!...If He puts it to you, ‘He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved’ (Mar 16:16), believe and be baptized. Be obedient unto Him Who deserves to be obeyed.”–1895, Sermon 2417”

“And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind,  a doing evil deeds, 22he has now reconciled  b in his body of flesh by his death,  c in order to present you holy and blameless and  d above reproach before him, 23 e if indeed you continue in the faith,  f stable and steadfast, not shifting from  g the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed  h in all creation [7] under heaven,  i and of which I, Paul, became a minister.”
