One of the most important traits a person can have is a knowledge of the best selling book of all time, the Bible. Spiritual disciplines are very difficult and one of the hardest is scripture memorization. If each of us would take the time to study and memorize portions of God’s Word we would experience true transformation. This list is the TOP 10 verses I value as I walk with God.
- 1. Ephesians 2:8-9 These verses might be the most important in the New Testament. They show us we can do NOTHING to receive God’s favor. He gives us the gift—we DO NOT earn it, we must receive it by faith. God’s standard at the end will not be “how good were you,” HIS standard will be did you receive the free gift my SON offered you?
- 2. 1 Corinthians 10:13 This is one of the first verses I memorized and one of the most important for a follower of Christ to understand. God gives us a way to deal with situations that come into our life, it is our job to find the way out.
3. Proverbs 3:5-6 Most of us want our paths to be straight and we can get very frustrated when we feel as if we are spinning out of control. These verses tell us the formula for staying where God wants us—on HIS path!
4. John 10:10 If you are one of those people who believe that if you become a follower of Christ that life gets boring and you have to follow a set of rules, you are missing what the Christian life is all about. God brings us joy and abundance when we trust in HIM!
5. Acts 1:8 This verse is important for the church and the Christian to understand God’s formula and design for us to reach the world for Christ.
6. Romans 1:16 If we stand for Christ and honor HIM and stay consistent the world will respect us. If we decide one day to live like a Christian and then turn around the next day and deny HIM we lose the power God wants to give us through HIS message. The gospel is alive and active!!!
7. Galatians 5:16-18 We must begin to feed the Spirit within us, where we make a mistake is by continuing to feed our sinful nature as we walk with Christ. In order to achieve the Spirit-filled life which simply means (controlled by God’s Spirit) we must lay aside sin that entangles us. Feed your spirit and not your flesh, natural man or sinful nature—all the same thing.
8. Romans 12:1-2 These 2 verses transformed my mind as I began to understand the importance of allowing God’s Word to get into my mind or what I like to call my spiritual hard drive.
9. Colossians 3:23 The one person who sees everything we do is God, nothing is hidded from HIS sight. Whatever job you may have teacher, pastor, lawyer, salesman, stay at home mom–(the hardest), construction worker or salesman–give it your very best. God desires for us to be our best. Our work ethic is a reflection of our character.
10. Romans 3:10, 23, 5:8, 6:23, 10:9-10 These verses will bring new life to the person who reads them and understands and confesses their sins to God. The verses have been known as the “Romans Road,” If you have not received Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour read these verses and see the amazing gift God gave to you—eternal life through HIS SON Jesus Christ.
