Has anyone ever asked what functions do obedience and agreement with God - mind/ heart / life have to do with salvation ?

Adam & Eve - 

Cain & Able -

Followers of Cain unto Noah's 120 yr mandate to build the ship (ark) -

Abraham & Isaac -

Moses & Aaron - (multiple)

brazen serpent - brazen altar - blood on the door posts and lentil -

Korah Dathan Abiram -

Achan -

sticks on Sabbath - (warm weather, civil disobedience/ flaunting divine law mixed multitude )

Jeremiah's ministry during what kind of national religious climate -

70 yrs -

Ezra Nehemiah Tobiah Sanballat -

400 yrs of no prophets -

John the Baptist, Herod, Herodias, Christ's evaluation of John the Baptist -

Story of two gardens - Eden & apostasy, Gethsemane & obedience - "Not MY will" "Thy will be done"

two thieves on the Cross -

Why Christ's prayers were heard, how He was saved from death till the time -

How Isaiah ch 53, Romans 4:25 & Romans 5:10,  could vicariously function -

What Ezekiel ch's 9 & 18 & 33; the story of Tamar and Judah in Genesis ch 38; Daniel 9:24-27; scattered through the whole Book of Malachi; John 6:27; 2 Corinthians 1:22; Ephesians 1:13; Ephesians 4:30; Revelation 7:3-8; Isaiah 63:19  have in common with this topic - (signet seal mark )

Hebrews 5:7-9; Matthew 24:1-46; Deuteronomy 10:12-13; Exodus 19:5-6, Exodus 20:5-6; Luke 19:9-27 (notice the finality verse 27). -

sins that are past - Romans ch 3 & 4  notice Romans 3:24-26; 2nd Peter 1:9; Hebrews 1:3; Hebrews ch's 9-10.

"Why"......good God ......but wickedness prospers.... - the question Satan designed to uproot faith in God - until that question and it's answer are understood - Psalms 73:1-17 ; Book of Job; Genesis 3: > Isaiah ch 14; Ezekiel ch 28; Revelation ch 12; Matthew 13:1-51.
Grateful for Psalms 32 and Titus 2:10 - The divinity of Christ is acknowledged in the unity of the children of God.  {11MR 266.2}

(obey* truth )

Jeremiah 7:28  But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
Jeremiah 7:28  (Douay) And thou shalt say to them: This is a nation which hath not hearkened to the voice of the Lord their God, nor received instruction: faith is lost, and is taken away out of their mouth.

Romans 2:8  But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
Romans 2:8  (Douay) But to them that are contentious and who obey not the truth but give credit to iniquity, wrath and indignation.

Galatians 3:1  O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
Galatians 3:1 ¶  (Douay) O senseless Galatians, who hath bewitched you that you should not obey the truth: before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been set forth, crucified among you?

Galatians 5:7  Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
Galatians 5:7  (Douay) You did run well. What hath hindered you, that you should not obey the truth?

1 Peter 1:22  Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
1 Peter 1:22  (Douay) Purifying your souls in the obedience of charity, with a brotherly love, from a sincere heart love one another earnestly:

Ed, I like this one:  Galatians 3:1  O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

Often we think of Galatians as legalism in keeping the law, but here we see modern theology as believed by many as heresy. They and us are to "obey the truth" as it is in Jesus. We are to keep the moral law, not the ceremonial law.
Jesus receives His reward when we reflect His character, the fruits of the Spirit......We deny Jesus His reward when we do not.
