Hebrews 5:9 Display Chapter and Footnotes   9 And being made perfect, he [Jesus] became the author and source of eternal salvation to all those who heed and obey him;1 [Salvation is to be delivered (freed) from all sin, even the desires, through persistent obedience to the Spirit that mortifies the selfish human spirit on the inward cross of self-denial. You must persistently and patiently wait for Him in silence to hear his commands, as you listen and watch; then heed and obey Him. From the Word of the Lord within: "Salvation occurs when you are one with Christ and God."] | John 14:24 Display Chapter and Footnotes   24 He who doesn't love me, does not obey my spoken words; and the spoken words that you hear are not mine, but are the Father's who sent me. | Exodus 23:21 Display Chapter and Footnotes   21 Heed him, listen to and obey his voice; do not provoke him, for he will not pardon your transgressions; for my name is in him. |
