What are your top Bible verses?

Everyone has their absolute best verses. The ones that we just always remember or that mean the most to us.

What are yours?

Some of my favorite Bible passages are long passages, rather than single verses: the prologue to John's gospel, for example, and the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7). But here are a few of my favorite individual verses:

God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, no longer holding people's misdeeds against them, and has entrusted us with the message of reconciliation. (II Corinthians 5:19, REB)

As in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. (I Corinthians 15:22, BCP)

One thing have I asked of the LORD; one thing I seek;
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life;
To behold the fair beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
(Psalm 27:5-6 BCP )

Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? (Isaiah 55:2, NRSV)

I love all of the ones you posted but this one.. oof! Good stuff praise Jesus!

The heart of Christ is so magnificent!

Did not have this in my top verses list, but is going in it right now.

I think this is one that many people need in these uncertain times if they are of the household of faith.

Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Matthew 5:11


Come, all you who are thirsty,
come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.

Isaiah 55:1

Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth

Psalm 46:10

Amen! I definitely agree with you there!

This one has become indispensable and highly favored to me.

Really covers a lot of ground in life.

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

 

[John G.]

2 Corinthians 4:8,9 gave me much courage in the early days of my Christian walk:
8. We are often troubled, but not crushed; sometimes in doubt, but never in despair; 9 there are many enemies, but we are never without a friend; and though badly hurt at times, we are not destroyed. (GNT)

lol, the more scriptures I learn the less I can pick favorites! They are all so amazinggg.

This is one that I have not anchored in my heart to my soul just yet, but I think it will be going into this weeks memorizing list!

It always makes me feel better in my spirit when I hear it and I never get to stop and write it down and lock it in. Life is so busyy.

Man am I glad you posted it, it's such an awesome verse when seas are not smooth while sailing.

 

[okay]

Romans 8:38-39 (nrsv)
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

[Zceptre]

The verses about God's love are in a list. The list above all the other lists!

Like this one:

Isaiah 54:10
For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,” Says the LORD, who has mercy on you.

Psalm 23 will always be my favourite because of how comforting it sounds.

I think they are all my favorites. It is so hard to pick. haha

And we all need some comfort right now the way the world is going.


6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.

This part is on the way soon and I am super ready.

John 14:2
In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

I don't know what a Mansion that God the Son builds looks like... but I'm suspecting that it is really, really big. lol...

John Chapter One

Romans 10:9-11

He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. He departed with no one’s regret. They buried him in the city of David but not in the tombs of the kings.

God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.

I really like this whole Psalm. It is an anthem for war.

Come, behold the works of the Lord,
how he has brought desolations on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the chariots with fire.
10 “Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!”
11 The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wonderful works to humankind.
16 For he shatters the doors of bronze
and cuts in two the bars of iron.

14 We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people’s trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming;

11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness; rather, expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to mention what such people do secretly, 13 but everything exposed by the light becomes visible, 14 for everything that becomes visible is light.

Ephesians 6:4 saved my life and sanity multiple times over. I think that about covers it.

Psalm 23 will always be my favourite because of how comforting it sounds.

It's a very beautiful and comforting psalm, I fully agree.

 

[RileyG]

My beloved spoke and said to me,
“Arise, my darling,
my beautiful one, come with me.
See! The winter is past;
the rains are over and gone.
Flowers appear on the earth;
the season of singing has come,
the cooing of doves
is heard in our land.
The fig tree forms its early fruit;
the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.
Arise, come, my darling;
my beautiful one, come with me.”

Song of Songs 2:10-16

"Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities"

My daughter asked me to read this passage at her wedding. It always brings tears to my eyes now.
