Every Word in the Bible is True & Valuable

Every word in the Bible is important. Before we dig into this list of popular Bible verses, it’s important to point out that we aren’t choosing one section of Scripture as being more valuable than another.

The Bible says,

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
1 Timothy 3:16-17

Still, the Bible is a HUGE book with many different books, chapters, and authors. Studying it as a whole can be tough to tackle.

Top 3 Bible Verses Every Christian Should Memorize

Memorizing Scripture passages is highly valuable because you carry God’s Word with you to rely on in times of stress, trouble, or even joy. All time spent memorizing God’s Word is useful and valuable.

Here are some verses from this Bible reading plan that are worth your time to memorize.

1. John 3:16 – For God So Loved the World (The Gospel in One Verse)

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16

John 3:16 is perhaps the most famous Bible passage of all time because it clearly explains the way of salvation through Jesus in just a few simple words. For this reason, it’s been called the Gospel in One Verse.

2. Proverbs 3:5-6 – Trust in the Lord with all your heart.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6

Proverbs 3:5-6 shows you that God is in control and has a plan for your life. This is a passage I have come back to many times in my life as a reminder that I can trust God to work out His plan, even when I can’t see where you to go next.

3. Philippians 4:13 – I can do all things.

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13

Philippians 4:13 is an excellent passage to rely on during times that you feel weak, weary, or exhausted. Some times that I’ve used this Scripture passage include during my long weight loss journey, when I was sick, and parenting children with special needs.
