For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.”

9:6 你、惟獨你、是耶和華．你造了天、和天上的天、並天上的萬象、地和地上的萬物、海和海中所有的、
這一切都是你所保存的．天軍也都敬拜你。
Romans 8:28
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”
8:28 我們曉得萬事都互相效力、叫愛 神的人得益處、就是按他旨意被召的人。
Hebrews 2:3-4
“…how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.”
2:3 我們若忽略這麼大的救恩、怎能逃罪呢．這救恩起先是主親自講的、後來是聽見的人給我們證實了．
2:4 神又按自己的旨意、用神蹟奇事、和百般的異能、並聖靈的恩賜、同他們作見證。
Hebrews 4:14-16
“Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
4:14 我們既然有一位已經升入高天尊榮的大祭司、就是 神的兒子耶穌、便當持定所承認的道。
4:15 因我們的大祭司、並非不能體恤我們的軟弱．他也曾凡事受過試探、與我們一樣．只是他沒有犯罪。
4:16 所以我們只管坦然無懼的、來到施恩的寶座前、為要得憐恤、蒙恩惠作隨時的幫助。
Revelation 5:11-12
“Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice,
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and blessing!””
5:11 我又看見、且聽見、寶座與活物並長老的周圍、有許多天使的聲音．他們的數目有千千萬萬．
5:12 大聲說、曾被殺的羔羊、是配得權柄、豐富、智慧、能力、尊貴、榮耀、頌讚的。
James 4:7-8
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
4:7 故此你們要順服 神．務要抵擋魔鬼、魔鬼就必離開你們逃跑了。
4:8 你們親近 神、 神就必親近你們。有罪的人哪、要潔淨你們的手。心懷二意的人哪、要清潔你們的心。
Genesis 1:26-27
“Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.”
1:26 神說、我們要照著我們的形像、按著我們的樣式造人、使他們管理海裏的魚、空中的鳥、
地上的牲畜、和全地、並地上所爬的一切昆蟲。
1:27 神就照著自己的形像造人、乃是照著他的形像造男造女。
Colossians 3:18-19
“Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.”
3:18 你們作妻子的、當順服自己的丈夫、這在主裏面是相宜的。
3:19 你們作丈夫的、要愛你們的妻子、不可苦待他們。
2 Corinthians 7:1
“Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.”
7:1 親愛的弟兄阿、我們既有這等應許、就當潔淨自己、除去身體靈魂一切的污穢、敬畏 神、得以成聖。
Psalms 51:1-4
“Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin!
For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you may be justified in your words
and blameless in your judgment.”
51:1 〔大衛與拔示巴同室以後、先知拿單來見他．他作這詩、交與伶長。〕
神阿、求你按你的慈愛憐恤我、按你豐盛的慈悲塗抹我的過犯。
51:2 求你將我的罪孽洗除淨盡、並潔除我的罪。
51:3 因為我知道我的過犯．我的罪常在我面前。
51:4 我向你犯罪、惟獨得罪了你、在你眼前行了這惡、以致你責備我的時候、顯為公義．判斷我的時候、顯為清正。
Hebrews 8:10
“For this is the covenant that I will make
with the house of
after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds,
and write them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.”
8:10 主又說、『那些日子以後、我與以色列家所立的約乃是這樣．我要將我的律法放在他們裏面、寫在他們心上、
我要作他們的 神、他們要作我的子民．
John 1:14
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
1:14 道成了肉身、住在我們中間、充充滿滿的有恩典有真理。我們也見過他的榮光、正是父獨生子的榮光。
Romans 3:23-26
“…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.”
3:23 因為世人都犯了罪、虧缺了 神的榮耀。
3:24 如今卻蒙 神的恩典、因基督耶穌的救贖、就白白的稱義。
3:25 神設立耶穌作挽回祭、是憑著耶穌的血、藉著人的信、要顯明 神的義．因為他用忍耐的心、寬容人先時所犯的罪．
3:26 好在今時顯明他的義、使人知道他自己為義、也稱信耶穌的人為義。
1 Corinthians 15:20-23
“But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.”
15:20 但基督已經從死裏復活、成為睡了之人初熟的果子。
15:21 死既是因一人而來、死人復活也是因一人而來。
15:22 在亞當裏眾人都死了．照樣、在基督裏眾人也都要復活。
15:23 但各人是按著自己的次序復活。初熟的果子是基督．以後在他來的時候、是那些屬基督的。
1 Peter 2:9-10
“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”
2:9 惟有你們是被揀選的族類、是有君尊的祭司、是聖潔的國度、是屬 神的子民、要叫你們宣揚那召你們出黑暗入奇妙光明者的美德。
2:10 你們從前算不得子民、現在卻作了 神的子民．從前未曾蒙憐恤、現在卻蒙了憐恤。
Romans 8:12-14
“So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.”
8:12 弟兄們、這樣看來、我們並不是欠肉體的債、去順從肉體活著。
8:13 你們若順從肉體活著必要死．若靠著聖靈治死身體的惡行必要活著。
8:14 因為凡被 神的靈引導的、都是 神的兒子。
Luke 6:35-36
“But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.”
6:35你們倒要愛仇敵、也要善待他們、並要借給人不指望償還．你們的賞賜就必大了、你們也必作至高者的兒子．因為他恩待那忘恩的和作惡的。
6:36你們要慈悲、像你們的父慈悲一樣。
Ephesians 1:3-6
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.”
1:3 願頌讚歸與我們主耶穌基督的父 神、他在基督裏、曾賜給我們天上各樣屬靈的福氣．
1:4 就如 神從創立世界以前、在基督裏揀選了我們、使我們在他面前成為聖潔、無有瑕疵．
1:5 又因愛我們、就按著自己意旨所喜悅的、預定我們、藉著耶穌基督得兒子的名分、
1:6 使他榮耀的恩典得著稱讚．這恩典是他在愛子裏所賜給我們的。
Matthew 11:28-30
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.””
11:28 凡勞苦擔重擔的人、可以到我這裏來、我就使你們得安息。
11:29 我心裏柔和謙卑、你們當負我的軛、學我的樣式、這樣、你們心裏就必得享安息。
11:30 因為我的軛是容易的、我的擔子是輕省的。
John 3:5-8
“Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to
you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the
3:5 耶穌說、我實實在在的告訴你、人若不是從水和聖靈生的、就不能進 神的國。
3:6 從肉身生的、就是肉身．從靈生的、就是靈。
3:7 我說、你們必須重生、你不要以為希奇。
3:8 風隨著意思吹、你聽見風的響聲、卻不曉得從那裏來、往那裏去．凡從聖靈生的、也是如此。
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
3:16 神愛世人、甚至將他的獨生子賜給他們、叫一切信他的、不至滅亡、反得永生。
Romans 3:27-28
“Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.”
3:27 既是這樣、那裏能誇口呢．沒有可誇的了。用何法沒有的呢、是用立功之法麼．不是、乃用信主之法。
3:28 所以〔有古卷作因為〕我們看定了、人稱義是因著信、不在乎遵行律法。
Romans 8:14-17
“For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.”
8:14 因為凡被 神的靈引導的、都是 神的兒子。
8:15 你們所受的不是奴僕的心、仍舊害怕．所受的乃是兒子的心、因此我們呼叫阿爸、父。
8:16 聖靈與我們的心同證我們是 神的兒女．
8:17 既是兒女、便是後嗣、就是 神的後嗣、和基督同作後嗣．如果我們和他一同受苦、也必和他一同得榮耀。
Romans 6:11-14
“So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.”
6:11 這樣、你們向罪也當看自己是死的．向 神在基督耶穌裏、卻當看自己是活的。
6:12 所以不要容罪在你們必死的身上作王、使你們順從身子的私慾．
6:13 也不要將你們的肢體獻給罪作不義的器具．倒要像從死裏復活的人、將自己獻給 神．並將肢體作義的器具獻給 神。
6:14 罪必不能作你們的主．因你們不在律法之下、乃在恩典之下。
1 Corinthians 12:12-13
“For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.”
12:12 就如身子是一個、卻有許多肢體、而且肢體雖多、仍是一個身子．基督也是這樣。
12:13 我們不拘是猶太人、是希利尼人、是為奴的、是自主的、都從一位聖靈受洗、成了一個身體．飲於一位聖靈。
John 10:27-28
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.”
10:27 我的羊聽我的聲音、我也認識他們、他們也跟著我。
10:28 我又賜給他們永生．他們永不滅亡、誰也不能從我手裏把他們奪去。
Philippians 1:20-24
“…as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account.”
1:20 照著我所切慕所盼望的、沒有一事叫我羞愧、只要凡事放膽．無論是生、是死、總叫基督在我身上照常顯大。
1:21 因我活著就是基督、我死了就有益處。
1:22 但我在肉身活著、若成就我工夫的果子、我就不知道該挑選甚麼。
1:23 我正在兩難之間、情願離世與基督同在．因為這是好得無比的．
1:24 然而我在肉身活著、為你們更是要緊的。
1 Corinthians 15:42-44
“So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.”
15:42 死人復活也是這樣．所種的是必朽壞的、復活的是不朽壞的．
15:43 所種的是羞辱的、復活的是榮耀的．所種的是軟弱的、復活的是強壯的．
15:44 所種的是血氣的身體、復活的是靈性的身體．若有血氣的身體、也必有靈性的身體。
Galatians 2:20
“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
2:20 我已經與基督同釘十字架．現在活著的、不再是我、乃是基督在我裏面活著．並且我如今在肉身活著、
是因信 神的兒子而活、他是愛我、為我捨己。
Ephesians 4:11-13
“And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ…”
4:11 他所賜的有使徒、有先知．有傳福音的．有牧師和教師．
4:12 為要成全聖徒、各盡其職、建立基督的身體．
4:13 直等到我們眾人在真道上同歸於一、認識 神的兒子、得以長大成人、滿有基督長成的身量．
Ephesians 4:14-16
“…so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.”
4:14 使我們不再作小孩子、中了人的詭計、和欺騙的法術、被一切異教之風搖動、飄來飄去、就隨從各樣的異端．
4:15 惟用愛心說誠實話、凡事長進、連於元首基督．
4:16 全身都靠他聯絡得合式、百節各按各職、照著各體的功用、彼此相助、便叫身體漸漸增長、在愛中建立自己。
2 Corinthians 10:3-4
“For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.”
10:3 因為我們雖然在血氣中行事、卻不憑著血氣爭戰．
10:4 我們爭戰的兵器、本不是屬血氣的、乃是在 神面前有能力、可以攻破堅固的營壘、
1 Peter 5:1-4
“So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.”
5:1 我這作長老、作基督受苦的見證、同享後來所要顯現之榮耀的、勸你們中間與我同作長老的人。
5:2 務要牧養在你們中間神的群羊、按著神旨意照管他們．不是出於勉強、乃是出於甘心．也不是因為貪財、乃是出於樂意。
5:3 也不是轄制所託付你們的、乃是作群羊的榜樣。
5:4 到了牧長顯現的時候、你們必得那永不衰殘的榮耀冠冕。
Acts 2:41-42
“So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls. And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.”
2:41 於是領受他話的人、就受了洗．那一天、門徒約添了三千人．
2:42 都恆心遵守使徒的教訓、彼此交接、擘餅、祈禱。
Romans 6:3-4
“Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.”
6:3 豈不知我們這受洗歸入基督耶穌的人、是受洗歸入他的死麼？
6:4 所以我們藉著洗禮歸入死、和他一同埋葬．原是叫我們一舉一動有新生的樣式、像基督藉著父的榮耀、從死裏復活一樣。
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
“For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.”
11:23 我當日傳給你們的、原是從主領受的、就是主耶穌被賣的那一夜、拿起餅來、
11:24 祝謝了、就擘開、說、這是我的身體、為你們捨的．〔捨有古卷作擘開〕你們應當如此行、為的是記念我。
11:25 飯後、也照樣拿起杯來、說、這杯是用我的血所立的新約．你們每逢喝的時候、要如此行、為的是記念我。
11:26 你們每逢吃這餅、喝這杯、是表明主的死、直等到他來。
Revelation 4:11
“Worthy are you, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they existed and were created.”
4:11 我們的主、我們的 神、你是配得榮耀尊貴權柄的．因為你創造了萬物、並且萬物是因你的旨意被創造而有的。
1 Peter 4:10-11
“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.”
4:10 各人要照所得的恩賜彼此服事、作 神百般恩賜的好管家．
4:11 若有講道的、要按著神的聖言講．若有服事人的、要按著神所賜的力量服事．
叫神在凡事上因耶穌基督得榮耀．原來榮耀權能都是他的、直到永永遠遠。阿們。
1 Corinthians 12:7-11
“To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.”
12:7 聖靈顯在各人身上、是叫人得益處。
12:8 這人蒙聖靈賜他智慧的言語．那人也蒙這位聖靈賜他知識的言語．
12:9 又有一人蒙這位聖靈賜他信心．還有一人蒙這位聖靈賜他醫病的恩賜．
12:10 又叫一人能行異能．又叫一人能作先知．又叫一人能辨別諸靈．又叫一人能說方言．又叫一人能翻方言。
12:11 這一切都是這位聖靈所運行、隨己意分給各人的。
Ten
Biblical Reasons to Memorize Scripture
A common New Year’s Resolution among many Christians is a renewed desire and commitment to memorize the Word of God. People have the desire to know more Scripture, and come January 1 many think it is finally time to start memorizing Scripture. But, like most New Years Resolutions, this desire can fall by the wayside without proper motivation.
Christians have the awesome privilege of knowing God’s heart through the Bible. We are able to see God’s power, his hatred towards sin, and his grace throughout the Scriptures. God’s Word is a life-changing book with a life-transforming message. One way to spur on God’s transforming work through His Word is by memorizing the Scriptures.
**(A disclaimer: A mere head-knowledge of Scripture will not lead to our transformation, but rather taking Scripture to heart through faith and obedience.)
Here are 10 Biblical Reasons for Memorizing Scripture:
1. Jesus memorized Scripture.
Jesus quoted the Old Testament frequently in His life and ministry. He quoted from 24 different books roughly 180 times! It is clear that He thought of the Scriptures as the ultimate authority in life and a way to understand the heart and desires of God. Why would we not follow Jesus by knowing and trusting Scripture the way he did?
2. We
are called to do memorize Scripture.
Colossians 3:16 tells us to “let the word of Christ dwell in us richly.” Deuteronomy 6:4-9 tells us to bind God’s law on our foreheads, teach it to our children, talk about it wherever we go, and make it an integral part of our lives. We must know Scripture first before we can teach it or apply it as God desires.
3.
Memorizing Scripture renews our mind and transforms our life.
Are you one of those people who has to write everything down so that you don’t forget? God knows that we cannot remember or keep his commands without being reminded of them frequently. This is one reason he told us to renew our minds in the Scriptures daily. He already wrote down for us what we need to know!
Romans 12:2 says, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.“ Keeping the truth of Scripture fresh in our minds helps us in the transformational process that God desires.
4.
Memorizing Scripture helps against temptation.
In Jesus’ time of temptation in the wilderness, he countered Satan’s deceitful words with words of truth found in Scripture.
Even though Jesus is Himself the Word of God, He used the written Word of God for battling temptation.
The Psalmist understood the Word’s power in battling temptation, “I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you” (Psalm 119:11).
The Armor of God, as mentioned in Ephesians 6:10-20, only mentions one offensive weapon: “the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.” We are given the powerful offensive weapon to cut down false and tempting words, putting them to death with words of truth. Knowing Bible verses about temptation, the enemy, and our spiritual armor is exactly like wielding a powerful weapon during temptation. The Word has Power!
How can you fight lies if you don’t have the Word in your heart and on your mind at all times? Do you ever feel like you are going to battle without any weapons? Fighting against temptation is just another reason for the study of Scripture and Scripture memorization.
5.
Memorizing Scripture keeps your life pure, helping you live in obedience.
“How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word” (Psalm 119:9).
Knowing God’s Word through the memorization of Bible verses is a great way to guard your life and actions according to God’s Word. It is a preventative method for avoiding temptation, because when God’s Word is fresh in your mind, you will more easily avoid temptation.
6.
Memorizing Scripture makes us prosper and successful.
This promise is shown in Joshua 1:8, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall medpsalm-1-tree-planted-by-streams-of-wateritate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”
It is vital to remember that God’s definition of being prosperous and successful is far different from the world’s definition. This is not a guarantee that we will automatically have everything we want, but promises a spiritual blessing, which is so much greater.
Psalm 1 describes a man who delights in the law of the Lord by meditating on it. This leads to prospering and being compared to a tree planted by streams of water that bears fruit.
7.
Memorizing Scripture allows us to more readily encourage believers.
Memorizing Scripture gives believers a great opportunity to share it with other believers and encourage them to live in obedience, fight temptation, renew their minds, and conform more to the person of Christ.
Paul exhorts the Thessalonians in 1 Thessalonians 4:18 to be ready to encourage other believers with the truth. 2 Timothy 3:16 says that all Scripture is useful for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness. Knowing Scripture is a vital part of ministering to others.
8.
Memorizing Scripture allows us to share with unbelievers better.
We are urged in 1 Peter 3:15 to always be ready to give a defense for our hope in Christ. We should memorize Scripture so we can walk unbelievers through the salvation message and help them understand their sin and need for a Savior. Speaking God’s Words instead of our own will give our message more authority and will harness the power that is in the Word of God (Isaiah 55:11, Hebrews 4:12, Jeremiah 23:29).

Memorizing Scripture gives us better understanding of God and his will.
When we know God’s Word and obey it, we are able to experience God at a deeper level and experience the freedom that comes only through obedience (John 8:31-32; 14:21). The deeper we know God, the deeper we know His will for us. Romans 12:2 says that when we renew our minds and are transformed, we will be able to, “discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

Memorizing Scripture makes us wise.
The Bible is a book of tremendous wisdom that can have an impact on every area of our life. By memorizing the Scripture we are able to have that wisdom with us at all times. Luke 2:52 says that even Jesus grew in wisdom during His earthly life. Why should we not do the same?

Practical Tips for Memorizing Scripture
For some reason God made it easy for me to memorize. When I was a boy, I memorized a lot of meaningless stats on the back of baseball cards and the nutrition information on the side of cereal boxes. Why? Because I liked numbers and could. Now that I’m following Jesus, I can use that to know Him better and commit Scripture to memory.
Unfortunately, not everyone has it easy as I do. Some people can’t remember other people’s names, where they parked their car, or Bible verses without blood sweat and tears. And that is OK! God made us all different and those who cannot memorize Scripture as effortlessly as I can might find a few of the following practical tips helpful.
10 Practical tips to Help You Memorize Scripture:
1.
Memorize the Word of God in community.
With a small group or with the larger congregation, memorizing scripture as a community is a powerful way to learn the Bible together through purusing mutual goals with accountability. Push each other to memorize the Word of God more. This is one way to live out Proverbs 27:17, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”
2.
Memorize along with your family.
Memory verses are not just for kids! If your children participate in programs like Awana that memorize Bible verses, invite the whole family to memorize together. This is a great way to teach the whole family the truth of the Bible.
3. Use
note cards.
When you encounter a Bible verse you want to put to memory, make verse cards and place them in areas of your house or workplace that you will notice: on the bathroom mirror, in your living room, on your refrigerator, etc. Some people even memorize Scripture in the shower!
Deuteronomy 6:8-9 says we are to bind God’s commands on our hands, on the doorposts of our houses and on our gates so that they be constantly reminding us of God and His commands. When we post verses all around our house we are able to more frequently mediate on God’s word, which helps us renew our minds.
4.
Listen to an audio Bible.
A good way to redeem the time is to listen to Scripture while in the car, at the gym, or cooking. This is an ideal method for memorizing longer passages of Scripture and to set your mind on things above (Colossians 3:2).
A good sermon can ingrain the truth of the Scriptures in your head as well. By downloading the Unlocking the Bible Podcast, smartphone app or listening to the Unlocking the Bible Radio Program, you are taught God’s Word in an encouraging and refreshing way.
Faith does come by hearing, right?
5. Pray
for God to help you.
God is the one who commands that we know Scripture and let it dwell in us, would he not answer a prayer to see his will done? Pray to God for help, pray to God for guidance, pray to God for understanding, pray to God for a deeper love for His Word.
Psalm 119:33, “Teach me, O LORD, the way of your statutes; and I will keep it to the end.“
Psalm 119:35, “Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight.”
John 16:13, “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth.“
Pray for illumination and help. God will answer!
6. Study
a passage of Scripture deeply.
I have found that when I pour myself over one portion of Scripture for days and weeks at a time, I can memorize a passage fairly easily. Reading the same set of verses over and over again will not only draw out riches from God’s Word, but it will engrave those verses on your heart through repetition and deep meditation.
Suggested passages to start studying are Romans 8; Psalm 1; Ephesians 2:1-10; Ephesians 6:10-20; John 3.
7. Find
Software to help.
Scripture Memory? There’s an App for that! There are many websites and programs that can help you memorize Scriptures by providing plans and tools for your aid. Popular ones include MemVerse, RememberMe, and MobilizeFaith.
8. Put
it to song.
Chances are you know the ABC’s because of the Alphabet song, or you know the major music scale (Do-Re-Mi…) because of The Sound of Music. Getting a song stuck in your head is another proof that music is a powerful tool to help memorization. That is why putting the Bible to song or listening to music filled with biblical lyrics is a useful way to internalize the Word of God.
9.
Always be on the lookout.
During your normal study of Scripture or while you are listening to a sermon, be on the lookout for good verses to memorize. Having fresh Scriptures to meditate on will deepen your understanding of God and knowledge of Scripture.
Recently after reading about the Gibeonite Deception in Joshua 9, verse 14 stuck out to me describing why Israel made a bad decision: “…but did not ask counsel from the LORD.” That was a verse I wrote out, thought about throughout the day, and memorized.
10.
Read out loud/write it out.
Other
Tips:
Before you set to memorize a verse, read the passage the verse is from to make sure you know what it means in context.
Don’t forget to memorize the reference! This helps in your own personal study and for sharing with others.
Think about how you can apply the verse to your life and then pray for God’s help in applying it.
Use it or lose it! If you don’t keep Scripture fresh in your mind, it may be easy to lose! Plan to review what you memorize from time to time to keep God’s Word fresh in your life.
