If you look up verses in the Bible about grace, you will discover something. Grace abounds. It overflows. Grace wins.  Abundant grace was upon the disciples as they witnessed (Acts 4:33).  God's grace is more than abundant (1 Tim. 1:14).  God's gift of salvation abounds to many by grace (Rom. 5:15).  Grace abounds even more than sin (Rom. 5:20-21).  God's grace in forgiveness is lavished upon us (Eph. 1:6-7).  God's grace in providing for us abounds to others in our giving (2 Cor. 9:8).  The grace we receive is heaped upon the grace we have previously received (John 1:16).  It is clear that grace is more abundant than sin. Sin brings judgment, resulting in condemnation (Rom. 5:16), shame (Prov. 4:34), and death (Rom. 6:23). Grace overcomes these with justification, triumph, and eternal life  (Rom. 5:16-17). One line of Matthew West's Grace Wins, says "I'm living proof that grace wins every time." While the source of t...

So, you've decided to begin memorizing Bible verses. You have seen  the importance of memorizing Scripture and then decided to spend your time and effort on it. However, even with good intentions, it's easy to get stalled on the next step: choosing the verses to memorize. I like to have a list of verses so that I don't have to choose a new verse every week (though there can be advantages to that). However, you are more likely to continue the habit of Bible memorization if you don't have to choose a verse each week as well. Here is a list of verses that I have chosen for my son and me to memorize. I have chosen them because they are foundational verses on important topics. Below I have a checklist of the verses as well as a list of the verses in ESV and in NKJV .

Whether your day is going smoothly or it is a huge disaster, God is over everything. While our circumstances are always changing, God is the same and will always provide for our needs in whatever circumstances we find ourselves. God of All My Days by John Mark Hall and Jason Ingram Verse 1 : I came to You with my heart in pieces And found the God with healing in His hands Speaking of God in Psalms 147:3  He heals the brokenhearted a nd binds up their wounds. I turned to You, put everything behind me And found the God who makes all things new 2 Corinthians 5:17  Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature ; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. God says in Revelation 21:5 And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” I looked to You, drowning in my questions And found the God who holds all wisdom Psalm 147:5 Great is our Lord and a...
