.....remembering...reinforcing...reviewing! Don't give up...we're doing something that pleases God in embedding His words in our hearts. Let's go back over our list another time and then get started on another week!
Four Corners of the Bible
Genesis 1:1 - In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 - And the Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us; we have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father full of grace and truth.
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.
Romans Road:
Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus, our Lord.
Romans 5:8 - But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 10:9 - If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord', and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 12:1 - Therefore, dear brothers, by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God. This is your spiritual worship
The Gift of Scripture:
2 Timothy 3:16 - All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness.
Joshua 1:8 - This book of instruction must not depart from your mouth, you are to recite it day and night, so that you may carefully observe everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in whatever you do.
Psalms 119:11 - I have treasured your word in my heart so that I may not sin against you.
Deuteronomy 6:4-6 - Listen Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is One. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength. These words I give to you today are to be in your heart.
I don't know about you, but I love having these thirteen verses living within my heart. Sometimes when I'm at a stoplight, or pausing through the day, I mentally go through our list in its three sections. It's also a wonderful way to fall to sleep at night. Starting at the beginning with our four foundational verses, going on to the road to salvation, and then....if I haven't yet fallen asleep...dwelling on the blessing of Scripture. If you do fall asleep, what better way to enter into a night of rest, with God's words on your lips and guiding you into subconsciousness.
Week #14 brings an add on to last week's verse...we'll add Deuteronomy 6:7 which takes the importance of knowing God's word for ourselves to another level of responsibility, that of imparting it to others...especially those who have been put in our direct realm of influence. --- whether those be biological children, grandchildren, or other young people that we have been blessed to share life with in some other capacity...
Deuteronomy 6:7 - "Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."
Sleep well - hear His words in your heart....
