Galatians 4:26 – Here, we see a comparison between two versions of Jerusalem, one which was a slave to the Romans and also under the law of Moses and the other which is free from any law. This Jerusalem is described as a mother to those saved by having faith in Christ rather than being born into some kind of law or slavery.

Matthew 10:38 – Followers must carry their crosses which implies that they must be willing to die in a spiritual manner and submit themselves to walking the difficult path of Christ rather than following their own ways by being self-righteous and must love Him above all; such is God’s commandment.
Matthew 6:14-15 – One who is against forgiving others has not experienced God’s forgiveness, for no sin can be greater than the sin against God. If He, being the compassionate and merciful power, is ready to forgive, then His followers should also be able to do so within themselves.
