There is a reward for those who endure, Revelation 3:11, a crown is at stake, a reward that Jesus himself will place on the heads of those who do not give up. 2 Timothy 4:7-8, the crown is not given to those who start the race, it is given to those who finish. You’ve been faithful to God, but life keeps throwing one battle after another. You’ve been praying for something, but you feel like God is silent. You’ve tried to live righteously, but temptation keeps pulling at you and in those moments the thought creeps in, what’s the point, that is exactly what the enemy wants. The enemy wants you to lose what you have worked for, to get tired, to settle, to walk away right before the breakthrough. Don’t lose your reward, don’t let distractions steal your purpose, don’t let temporary hardships make you give up on eternal promises.

Request STILL remains :)
Please list the verses where Jesus teaches Luke AND JOHN NOW (Like Paul - Acts 9v15) is the Apostle to teach Salvation to believers referred to in Gal 3v28, Col 3v11, Gal 6v15

Now, this profound understanding of what Jesus accomplished, it has huge implications for who can now be included in God’s covenant family and for what it means to live as a member of that family. Paul turns to the stories about Abraham, how he was justified or declared righteous before God by simply having faith, by trusting in God’s promise, that one day all nations would find God’s blessing through him and his offspring. God’s purpose was always to have one large multi-ethnic family of people who relate to him on the basis of faith, not on the laws of the Torah. But that raises an important question, why did God give the laws of the Torah to Israel then? Paul observes that the laws of the Torah were given to Israel at Mount Sinai long after God’s promise to Abraham. God always intended the laws to be a temporary measure, the laws had both a negative and a positive role.

John 1:15, John tells about how he and his friends actually met Jesus and how they made the choice to follow and trust him and so we’re transformed by his light. John 1:16-17, John was an Israelite, part of the family that received through Moses the generous gift of the Torah that shared God’s Word and Wisdom and now through Jesus, John and his fellow Israelites have received the ultimate gift of God’s truth and love, Jesus himself.

Jesus was the faithful Israelite, who truly loved God and neighbor and as Israel’s King, he died to take the curse and consequence of Israel’s failure into himself and bring redemption. So now, through Jesus the offspring of Abraham, God’s blessing can come to all people, regardless of their ethnicity, social status, or gender. For Paul, requiring Torah observance from non-Jewish Christians, it is acting as if Jesus did not fulfill God’s promise or deal with our sins, it neglects the new freedom gained for us through Jesus and the gift of the Holy Spirit, and it limits God’s promise and blessing to one ethnic family. But Paul’s opponents might argue, the laws of the Torah, they are a proven guide to living according to God’s will, how will non-Jewish Christians learn this? Paul describes how Jesus’ transforming presence through the Holy Spirit is the key, the laws of the Torah are good, they are wise. In fact, they can all be summarized as Jesus did in the command to love your neighbor as yourself, but the laws, good as they are, they did not give Israel the power to obey them.

Galatians 3:1, Paul doesn’t sugarcoat the situation, to Paul, this wasn’t just a disagreement about religious practices, it was a betrayal of the good news message itself. The heart of the crisis lay in a fundamental question, is salvation by grace alone or is it grace plus law, Paul’s answer is unequivocal, grace stands alone, adding anything to the good news message doesn’t enhance it, it nullifies it.
