You spoke of what we hope to get but not of what we are expected to give up.Sorry man, this was kind of hard for me to follow. Are there any passages that are related to this that I could read up on?
The 72 odd scriptures where Jesus refers to the Gospel of the Kingdom. The good news that God is coming to reverse the ways of man. The news we have it backwards and need to step through the looking glass for God to know us (unlike the Lord lords whom He does not). But here is a good start...
Luke 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
James 1:27 Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
The truth is there in scripture but in the religion gentiles created, the Adversary still controls the narrative.
James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
