Therefore, neither the kingdom of heaven nor eternal life can be obtained except through the gospel including the Passover of the new covenant. The gospel is an important message that we must know and follow for salvation. The apostles and members of the early Church preached the gospel of the new covenant, such as the [[Passover]],<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=1+Corinthians+11%3A23-26&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=1 Corinthians 11:23–26 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> the [[Sabbath]],<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Luke+23%3A54-56&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Luke 23:54–56 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref><ref name=":72">{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Acts+17%3A1-3&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Acts 17:1–3 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> and [[baptism]],<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Acts+10%3A37-48&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Acts 10:37–48 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> following Jesus’ teachings and engraving the value of the gospel on their hearts.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Acts+20%3A24&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Acts 20:24 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> This is a living lesson showing that the church that preaches the gospel must have the truths of the new covenant, including the Passover.
