Here are those two “bare bones” listings, both of which I keep in my Bible and Planner as handy references:

Fosters genuine affection and love for God
Authentic Good News rather than “bad” Good News

Informs us God will never forsake anyone
Becomes a joy to share Good News
Satisfies our sense of justice
Harmonizes all Scriptures
Imparts lasting joy and peace
Leads to more authentic worship of God
Satisfies the heart [and finished work] of Jesus
Satisfies the human conscience
