Hebrews 3:1,19 TPT
[1] And so, dear brothers and sisters, you are now made holy, and each of you is invited to the feast of your heavenly calling.

Luke 6:6-11 NIV

[7] The Pharisees and the teachers of the law were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath. [8] But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said to the man with the shrivelled hand, “Get up and stand in front of everyone.” So he got up and stood there. [9] Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?” [10] He looked around at them all, and then said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand was completely restored. [11] But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were furious and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – evidence can transform thinking but the heart.
Mark 15:31-32 TPT
Even the ruling priests and the religious scholars joined in the mockery and kept laughing among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but he can’t even save himself! Israel’s king, is he?

This very night, before the rooster crows twice a few hours from now, you will utterly deny that you know me three times.” [31] But Peter was insistent and replied emphatically, “I will absolutely not! Under no circumstances will I ever deny you-even if I have to die with you!” And all the others repeated the same thing.

For the mystery of righteousness is truly amazing!…… Yes, great is this mystery of righteousness!

Colossians 3:3,9-12,17 TPT
[3] Your crucifixion with Christ has severed the tie to this life, and now your true life is hidden away in God in Christ……Lay aside your old Adam-self with its masquerade and disguise. For you have acquired new creation life which is continually being renewed into the likeness of the One who created you; giving you the full revelation of God. In this new creation life, your nationality makes no difference, or your ethnicity, education, or economic status-they matter nothing. For it is Christ that means everything as he lives in every one of us! [12] You are always and dearly loved by God! So robe yourself with virtues of God, since you have been divinely chosen to be holy.…. Let every activity of your lives and every word that comes from your lips be drenched with the beauty of our Lord Jesus.

Ephesians 5:1-2 MSG
[1-2] Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behaviour from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.
