The Most Important Chapter In The Bible?

Jethro Bodine said:
Galatians 5

There we see the only thing that counts towards justification is faith. A faith that is then expressed through love for others:

"The only thing that counts is faith.... (selah: pause to think about it)......
....expressing itself through love." (selah)"
(Galatians 5:6 NIV 'selahs' added by me)


And this is what that love doesn't look like:
"19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. " (Galatians 5:19-21 NASB)

And this is what it does look like:
"22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control." (Galatians 5:22-23 NASB)

What saves a person, and what the faith that saves is to look like, and not look like, in a person. All in one chapter.

:lol That was good huh?

If we was going for the best verse in scripture, like TOG (?) intimated, then I would think that John 19:30 may fit the bill for that.

Not that genesis 1:1 isn't good! Don't misunderstand. that is a great verse, and his point was good and well taken...but John 19:30 is just...whoa. the culmination of the entire ministry of jesus and His mission on earth to save His people...wow.

"It is finished". He won.

Thank you Lord. :)
 
Deuteronomy chapter 28 especially vs 13 as this is the verse that kept me from committing suicide back in 1997.

Deu 28:13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
