1. Matthew 5:1-18
This passage, at its most basic interpretation, is an explanation of Jesus Christ to his disciples that all those types of people who may not necessarily be recognized as important or significant in society are those who, as they live good lives, will be admitted to the Kingdom of Heaven (afterlife).
It is essential to the religion in that is a highly repeated verse that is a guide for Christians in how they should attempt to live their lives and the traits that they should try to be like: poor in spirity, mourn, meek, thirst for righteousness, merciful, pure in heart, peacemakers, etc.
2. Matthew 6:9-16
This passage is a key prayer in the faith of Christianity. In the Catholic Church, it is recited every mass before receiving the Eucharist. This is a prayer to God for the forgiveness of sins and to give the congregation their body of the Christ.
3. Romans 3:9-31
The passage discusses the differences between Jews and Christians, and uses the words uncircumcised and circumcised to compare them. It also speaks about how all men are full of sin and can only be judged by God, who knows no sin and created those with sin in his image, and cannot be judged under their own law because it came from the minds of those who sin. It also preaches about Jesus Christ exulting all of their sins and how those who believe will be justified by his grace and saved.
This serves as a justification to Christians for their religion and their differences from Jews and Greeks, and also justified their "boasting" of their faith by saying that "it is excluded." This gives Christians confidence to spread the Good News.
