Great Bible Passages
to Study and Memorize
Spending time reading and studying God’s Word can be life changing. When we decide
to study or memorize Scripture, many of us choose something short and sweet—one
verse or maybe two. When we do this, we often fail to discover the deeper meaning of the
individual verses because we haven’t read them in context—the greater meaning is often
tied to the surrounding passage. One way to gain a larger perspective is to learn great
verses in the context of the passages they come from. Some passages are filled with great
individual verses, and these verses become even more meaningful when we memorize
them together, putting them in context. The verses that surround the great individual
verses add perspective, support, and meaning to each verse in the passage.
The following list of great passages is filled with great individual verses made even more
meaningful by the verses around them. Take the time to read and study these passages.
Then choose some to memorize and make a point to recite them for others. Both you and
your listeners will likely be surprised by the power of God’s Word being spoken out loud.
You may find the Psalms, with their very personal perspectives, to be a great place to start.
