In Matthew 16:18 Jesus tells Simon Peter he is Peter, that on this rock He will build His church, and that the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. 1 Timothy 3:15 calls the church the pillar and foundation of the truth.

1 Timothy 2:5 speaks of one mediator between God and men, Christ Jesus. In Matthew 23:9 Jesus says to call no one on earth your father, for there is one Father in heaven, and in John 14:6 that no one comes to the Father except through Him.

In Mark 7:13 Jesus tells Pharisees and scribes they nullify the word of God by the tradition they have handed down. 2 Thessalonians 2:15 says to cling to the traditions taught by speech or by letter, and 1 Corinthians 11:2 praises those who maintain them.

2 Timothy 3:16–17 calls all Scripture God-breathed and useful, so that the man of God may be complete. Acts 17:11 tells of the Bereans receiving the message eagerly and examining the Scriptures daily to see if these teachings were true, and John 21:25 that not everything Jesus did was written down.

In Acts 2:37–39 Peter tells the crowd to repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of their sins, that they will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, and that the promise is for them, their children and all whom the Lord will call.

In Luke 11:27–28 a woman blesses the womb that bore Jesus, and He replies, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” In Revelation 18:4 a voice from heaven says, “Come out of her, My people,” lest they share in her sins.
