• I gave up perplexity (Luke 21:25) for peace (John 14:27)
• I gave up judgment (Rom. 2:5) for justification (Rom. 5:1)

• I gave up hell (Ps. 9:17) for heaven (John 14:1-3).

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? —Mark 8:36-37
