because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:9, ESV
God is changing this world for His glory, and He begins with each of through the power of the gospel, as we put faith in Christ and lead others to faith.
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21, ESV

Hebrews 6:19-20, ESV
We are called beyond the basic teachings of the gospel, to learn the deeper truths of God and His grace and truth. Because Christ has come to be our example and salvation, and God has promised by Himself that He has saved us and will come for us, we have a solid hope in Him. This pushes us to show love, grace, and truth to others.
So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us.
Hebrews 6:17-18
God has called us to go beyond the basic teachings of the gospel, to grow in the knowledge of who God is. There is no one beyond God, and He promised by His own eternal, immutable self that He would save us (done in Christ) and would come back for us (at Christ’s return), and no one can take us from His hand.
For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation.
Hebrews 6:16, ESV
God has called us beyond the basic teachings of the gospel, and this includes knowing that God is the greatest of all. No one and nothing is beyond Him, and He has sworn by Himself that He will fulfill His promises in grace and truth. We would do well to learn as much as we can about those promises.
For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself
Hebrews 6:13, ESV
We are called to go beyond the basic teachings of the gospel, and this includes becoming more aware that there is no one greater than God. He has given us His love and grace, and we must live out that love and grace with the Church and the rest of the world for His glory.
The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him.
Proverbs 23:24, ESV
God gives commands according to His nature and our good. He makes us righteous when we believe in His only Son, the Wisdom of God who guides us.
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.”
Exodus 20:8, ESV
God has many commands, and all are to His glory and our benefit. The command to rest is God’s grace of reminding us to relax and enjoy life and Him.
And he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.”
Mark 2:27, ESV
We were created to be the glory of God, and He created a time of rest for us. We ultimately find that rest in Christ, the full glory of God who dwells in those of us who believe.
