Over the last couple of days I've come across some verses that have become instant favorites of mine. I think it is always interesting to see what verses also stand out to my fellow believers. So what verses do you guys particularly like, and why?
Earlier today I was reading a book on the sanctuary and the author quoted Mark 9:49. "For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt." I love this verse, because of all the meaning packed into the phrase "salted with fire." Fire purifies us. Salt preserves us. When God justifies us from our sins, he also preserves us and keeps us in Him. Justification and sanctification together. "Salted with fire."
