Day 1 - Week 22 - For some reason....

....I'm having a harder time with memorizing the more recent sets.  Is that happening to any of you?  It seems they just aren't sticking like those first sets did.  Is it the accumulation of material, or do you think it's just a mental slump?  Whatever it is, I'm determined to get past it and make these verses just as comfortable in my heart as those first few sets!  So let's start off again with our Romans Road and end where we currently are with our Promises of Assurance:

Romans Road to Salvation
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 and 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.
Psalm 119:11           I have treasured your word in my heart so that I may not sin against You.
Deuteronomy 6:4-6  Listen O Israel: The Lord your 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 am giving to you today are to be in your heart.
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.
Hebrews 4:12          For the Word of God is living and effective and sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as to divide soul, spirit, joints and marrow.  It is a judge of the ideas and thoughts of the heart.

The Gift of Prayer
Hebrews 4:16 Therefore let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us at the proper time.
1 John 5:14     Now this is the confidence we have before Him: whenever we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
1 John 5:15     And if we know that He hears whatever we ask, we know that we have what we have asked Him for.

And now....

The Gift of God's Assurance
1 John 5:11  And this is the testimony:  God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
1 John 5:12-13 The one who has the Son has life; the one who doesn't have the Son of God does not have life.  I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know you have eternal life.
John 14:1 Your heart must not be troubled.  Believe in God; believe also in Me.
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 place for you.  (KJV)

I don't know about you, but some verses are just the easiest for me to remember in the way I first heard them, and that is in the King James Version.  This is one of those verses that I remember hearing as a child and what a comfort it was.  To think of Jesus preparing my place in heaven and in a mansion!  That's a sweet thought, isn't it?  No matter where you live now, whether in a shanty or a multi-million dollar estate, the place that God has prepared for us will make everything we have known pale in comparison.  It will truly be a glorous day when we finally see our new home that Christ has been preparing for us!
