DT 4:32-40 Moses: "Great: you heard God's voice, saw his fire, and lived; God chose/led/took us, gave us land. LORD, no other, is God; keep commandments, prosper, and live."
PS 77:12-13, 14-15, 16 AND 21 I remember the deeds of the Lord.
MT 16:24-28 Deny self; take up cross; follow. Find life by losing for His sake. No profit in gaining world, forfeiting life. Son of Man will repay.
