Best Bible Verses

Helping people to strengthen their faith

Most Christians want to memorize more Scripture, but they feel intimidated at the thought of reading through the entire Bible and taking notes. I've done it for you. The pages of this website have many (not all) of the best Bible verses for important topics.

Guarantees in life include change (Pro 27:1), challenges (Jn 10:10 and 16:33), opportunities (Gal 6:10, Eph 5:15-17 and Lk 8:15), and choices (Gen 1:27-28, Pro 18:21, Ro 12:2, Gal 5:16, and 2 Cor 10:5).

The Foundation

Salvation: For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life (Jn 3:16). I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: it is the power of God unto salvation to all who believe (Ro 1:16).

Believe: Jesus was delivered for our offenses and raised for our justification (Ro 4:25). For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one will many be made righteous (Ro 5:19). Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (Jn 14:6). If you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Ro 10:9). Do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God (Col 3:17). All Scripture is given by inspiration of God (2Ti 3:16).

Prophecy: A virgin will bear a son (Isa 7:14 & Mt 1:23). Bethlehem will bear the ruler of Israel (Mic 5:2 & Lk 2:4-7). He was despised and rejected (Isa 53:3 & Jn 1:11). They pierced Him (Ps 22:16 & Mt 27:35). He was numbered with the transgressors (Isa 53:12 & Mk 15:27).

Relationship with God: God is the Father of all, over all, through all, and in all (Eph 4:6). We are a spirit with a soul in a body (1Th 5:23). God knows our heart (Pro 21:2). For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear (Ro 8:15). But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He rewards them who diligently seek Him (Heb 11:6).

Grace: All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Ro 3:23). He saved us, not because of works (Ti 3:5). By grace are you saved through faith (Eph 2:8). Grace and peace (Ro 1:7). The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ (Jn 1:17).

Truth: By God all things were created (Col 1:16). God’s word is truth (Jn 17:17). God judges everyone equally (Ro 2:11), even our secrets (Ro 2:16). God’s wrath from heaven is on those who hold the truth in unrighteousness (Ro 1:18). Worship in spirit and truth (Jn 4:24).

Sin: Christ Jesus has freed us from the law of sin and death (Ro 8:2). Let him who is without sin be the first to throw a stone (Jn 8:7).

Confess: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1Jn 1:9).

Repent: The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe the gospel (Mk 1:15). Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Ac 2:38).

Baptism: He commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord (Ac 10:48). Buried with Him through baptism (Col 2:12)

Holy Spirit: But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, who the Father sent in the name of Jesus, He will teach you all things (Jn 14:26). You will be baptized with the Holy Spirit (Ac 1:5). The Holy Spirit dwells in us (2Tim 1:14). The Spirit also helps our infirmities (Ro 8:26).

New Covenant: If the ministry of condemnation be glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness exceed in glory (2Cor 3:9). I do not frustrate the grace of God: if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain (Gal 2:21). Serve in newness of Spirit (Ro 7:6).

New life: Put on a new self in the likeness of God in righteousness and true holiness (Eph 4:24). Follow that which is good (3Jn 1:11).

Trust: Cast your cares upon Him (Php 4:6). Blessed is the man that trusts in the LORD (Jer 17:7). Christ makes all things new (Rev 21:5).

Faith: Jesus answered them saying, Have faith in God (Mk 11:22). Our citizenship is in heaven (Php 3:20). Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Ro 10:17). Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Heb 11:1).

Hope: Hope that is seen is not hope (Ro 8:24). With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible (Mt 19:26). Be sober and hope to the end (1Pt 1:13). The LORD has plans for you, for peace not evil (Jer 29:11). Faith, hope, and love abide (1Cor 13:13).

Love: God is love (1Jn 4:8). Let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth (1Jn 3:18). Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not; love brags not, is not puffed up, does not behave unseemingly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil; rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in truth (1Cor 13:4). Greater love has no man than to lay down his life for his friends (Jn 15:13). Let all things be done with love (1Cor 16:14). Nothing is able to separate us from the love of God, in Christ Jesus our Lord (Ro 8:38-39).

Commandments: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it, You will love your neighbor as yourself (Mt 22:37-39). Love one another (2Jn 5).

Joy: God of hope fill you with joy and peace (Ro 15:13). The joy of the LORD is your strength (Neh 8:10). Your love gives me joy (Phm 7).

Praise and worship: O praise the LORD, all you nations: praise Him, all you people! (Ps 117:1). In the midst of church will I sing praise unto God (Heb 2:12). Worship the Father in spirit and in truth (Jn 4:24). It is written you shall only worship the Lord your God (Lk 4:8).

Respect: Whatever you would have men do to you, do to them (Mt 7:12). Let nothing be done through conflict or pompous pride; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves (Php 2:3) Do not grumble against one another (Jas 5:9).

Authority: One God and Father of all, who is above all (Eph 4:6). Authority is ordained by God (Ro 13:1). Pray for authority (1Tim 2:1-2).

Wisdom: The ear of the wise seeks knowledge (Pro 18:15). Wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality or hypocrisy (Jas 3:17). If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God (Jas 1:5). A fool is right in his eyes: but the wise seeks counsel (Pro 12:15). With what judgement you judge, you will be judged (Mt 7:2).

Forgive: Be kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake has forgiven you (Eph 4:32).

Be: Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance (Gal 5:22-23). Be doers of the Word (Jas 1:22). Be strong and of good courage (Jos 1:9). Transformed (Ro 12:2). We are made in God’s image (Gen 1:27)

Know: Know the truth, and the truth will set you free (Jn 8:32). Jesus said; I have not come to destroy the law, but to fulfill (Mt 5:17). Jesus came so we can have life, and have it more abundantly (Jn 10:10). Greater is He who is in me, than he who is in the world (1Jn 4:4).

Do: Trust in the LORD with all your heart (Pro 3:5). Keep God’s commandments in your heart (Pro 3:1). Jesus said; he who believes on me will do the works I do (Jn 14:12). By works was faith made perfect (Jas 2:22). Go therefore make disciples and baptize (Mt 28:19).

Works of the flesh include; adultery, fornication, lust, idolatry, witchcraft, hate, rivalry, jealousy, wrath, division, envy, murder, drunkenness (Gal 5:19-21). The devil (1Pt 5:8). Spiritual forces of evil (Eph 6:12). Other people in the world (Jn 16:33).

Be not afraid, believe (Mk 5:36).

Help: My help comes from the LORD (Ps 121:2). I can do all things through Christ (Php 4:13) and the Holy Spirit (Ro 8:11).

Power: God did not give us a spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2Tim 1:7). Be strong in the Lord (Eph 6:10).

Heart: Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me (Ps 51:10). Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life (Pro 4:23). A joyful heart does good like medicine (Pro 17:22). The LORD ponders the hearts (Pro 21:2).

Mind: Be not conformed to this world: be transformed by renewing your mind (Ro 12:2) Be not easily shaken in mind (2Th2:2).

Words: Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Pro 18:21). Speak the truth in love (Eph 4:15). Speak evil of no one (Ti 3:2). Let your yes be yes; and your no, no (Jas 5:12). A soft answer turns away wrath (Pro 15:1). A man has joy by his answer (Pro 15:23).

Emotional Intelligence: Be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath (Jas 1:19). He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding (Pro 14:29). Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep (Ro 12:15). Know how to answer each person (Col 4:6).

Respect money: The hand of the diligent makes rich (Pro 10:4). Love of money is the root of all evil (1Tim 6:10). Better is the poor that walks in integrity, than a rich man who is perverse in his ways (Pro 28:6). The borrower is servant to the lender (Pro 22:7).

Delay gratification: He that has no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls (Pro 25:28).

The Bible is our life manual

I hope this Scripture Foundation Guide was helpful.

Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face (Ronald Reagan).

The bond of our common humanity is stronger than the divisiveness of our fears and prejudices. God gives us the capacity for choice. We can choose to alleviate suffering. We can choose to work together for peace. We can make these changes — and we must (Jimmy Carter, Nobel Speech).

There are guarantees in life, including change, challenges, opportunities, and choices.
I believe the Holy Triune is our greatest opportunity and choice.
