I think there are two main groups of answers here.

The first group I have labelled "Sacrificial Obedience".   There are multiple references to obedience, denying ourselves, and living for God whatever the cost.

I've called group two, "New Culture", with the  references to a new culture of forgiveness, mercy, justice, invitation and serving those in need.

In addition there are a couple of people who have pointed out that 'action is more important than intent' and the reminder that a measure of success in Jesus' culture of discipleship is that disciples are made.
