16 Bible Verse That All Followers of Christ Need To Memorize

In This Article:

Memorizing verses can be difficult. You have to set aside time to go over the verses, and you have to really commit.
But memorizing verses is worth the effort. When you memorize verses, it is easier to spread God's word, because you have the gospel and His truth readily available to give to someone. Memorizing verses also helps you to stand against the temptations of sin, because you can recite God's truth to yourself. You can also encourage others with verses you have memorized.

Below are 16 verses I think every Christian should memorize. They can be used for encouragement, edification and/ or spreading the gospel.

1. Romans 6:23

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
