Bible Verses Everyone Should Know

As a high school teen I spent a summer memorizing verses from a Christian College’s Statement of Faith.

There were probably 20 or more that I memorized that summer. They are the foundation of my faith.

What are 10 to 15 verses that you think are important for a young believer to know?

Just list them please, don’t post the whole verse.

John 1:1-2/John 1:14
Philippians 2:5-11
Isaiah 57:15
Proverbs 3:5-6
Micah 6:6-8
Matthew 7:12
Romans 13:8-10
Psalms 19
2 Timothy 3:16

 

Based on Luke 4:4, ". . . And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. . . ." So it would be a minimum of 10-15 starting verses.

2) Romans 3:10, "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"

3) Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"

4) Romans 5:12, "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"

5) Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

6) Romans 5:8, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

7) Romans 10:9, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."

8) Romans 10:13, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

9) Revelation 3:20, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."

10) John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

11) Hebrews 13:5, "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."

12) 2 Corinthians ,5:8, "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord."

13) 1 John 5;13, "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."

14) John 6:37, "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out."

15) John 10:28, "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."

Many of them have been listed above.

Some others:

Jeremiah 17:9 …the heart is desperately wicked…

The non-denominational group we belonged to several years ago (led by a retired missionary couple) placed emphasis on scripture memorization. At the beginning of each meeting the congregation would stand and read aloud selected scripture (KJV) which changed quarterly(?). It's amazing how effective that was with memorization, and as a worship service. 'Uncle Eli' (his parents were German Mennonite immigrants) had the entire books of Romans and Hebrews memorized.

Some texts we memorized were Psalms 1, Psalms 19, John 1, John 3, Colossians 3, 2 Timothy 2, 2 Timothy 3.
