📖 Luke 16:16–17 (ESV) 16  “The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then the good news of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone forces his way into it. 17  But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the Law to become void.” The message has shifted — from Law to Gospel.

📖 Full Bible Verse (ESV) 34  “Salt is good, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? 35  It is of no use either for the soil or for the manure pile. It is thrown away. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” Salt is valuable because of its distinctive quality. In the same way, believers must maintain their spiritual distinctiveness. A diluted faith loses its influence....

📖 Luke 14:28–33 (ESV) 28  For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29  Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30  saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ 31  Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit...

📖 Luke 14:25–27 (ESV) 25  Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, 26  “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. 27  Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.” Salvation is free — but discipleship is costly.

📖 Luke 13:18–21 (ESV) 18  He said therefore, “What is the kingdom of God like?

📖 Luke 12:57–59 (ESV) 57  “And why do you not judge for yourselves what is right? 58  As you go with your accuser before the magistrate, make an effort to settle with him on the way, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison. 59  I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the very last penny.” Jesus urges urgency.
