Your favourite verse from scripture?

[oworm]

Which verse or passage from scripture carries meaning or speaks into your life situation more than any other? The verse below from Psalm 27 was like a balm to my soul when i found it !

Isnt it amazing that the Lord has accounted for every eventuality in human experience ?




PS 27:10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
the LORD will receive me.

[theseed]

"He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus" (Phil. 1.6)

[Beoga]

philippians 3
10I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
1 peter 5:10
After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.

I really like 2 Thessalonians 2:13, but it might be some Calvinist bias. ;)


But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.

[theseed]

Bulldog, I didn't know you were from Germany :)

ooh, I can use that verse in my devotion

[theseed]

ooh, I can use that verse in my devotionOh wait, I'm in first Thess. 2.13, its a "Calvinist" verse too :D

[Bulldog]

That happens to me too.

I remember debating on this board about a Calvinist belie. i went to the wrong scripture and it was a Calvinist verse.

There are just so many of them aren't there? ;)

Yes there are. ^_^

I'm not really-well sorta. If that makes sense. ;)

Just about all my blood goes back to Germany. On my fathers side, my great great grandfather was German, and even was an official for Kaiser Wilhem the first.

He came to America in the late 1800's and fought for the US in the Spanish-American war. He laso changed his named to a French name, because of some anti-German feelings at the time. (I have a French last name, but no French blood)

I'm not so sure about the history of my mother's side, but they were German too. In fact, my great grandmother, who just died last year, grew up in a Pennysylania Duecth (sp) home, where I believe German was spoken).

Just some of my history. :) And back on topic...

The Armor of God passage (check my sig for ref.)
That or Ecclesiastes 4:12: Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.

[BBAS 64]

Good Day,

Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Mine is in Psa 27 also. (Life verse)

Psa 27:4, One thing have I desired of the Lord, and that I will seek after. To dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord and to inquires in His temple.



Favority verse spoken by Jesus.

On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and cried out saying, "If anyone thursts let him come to me and drink, He who believes on me as the scriptures has said, out of his heart (belly) shall flow rivers of living water." But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would recieve (The Elect), .....
John 7:37-39

[Wilfred of Ivanhoe]

One of my favorite verses has always been:

Proverbs 10:4 - He that dealeth with a slack hand maketh poor, but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. -- Hopefully, I am more interested in the spiritual implications than the temporal ones. :)

[Milla]

My sig has mine :) The opening to Ecclesiastes.

[Foundthelight]

Ps 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

Ps 46:2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

Ps 46:3 though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.

I would say the verse in my signature.... The application is very broad.

yeah, I agree - have a look at my signature :cool:

and I like this one very much as well
Joh 6:37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.

[JJB]

Romans 12: 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

[Diane_Windsor]

Besides St. John 3:16, which is the first verse that I memorised, my favourite is Revelation 22:20 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=73&chapter=22&version=31).

"He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus."

Jesus is coming back-we have His own words to testify to that. When He does come back all things will be made right, and Justice will prevail over all. Jesus will come back for us, and I am looking forward to it.

CHECK THIS ONE OUT!!


Deut 30:
6And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring, so that you will love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.


How can any Arminian refute a verse like that?

Two words: prevenient grace.

Ephesians 1:4-5

4For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5he[a (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%201:4-6;&version=31;#fen-NIV-29196a)] predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.

I don't know if Arminianists can really bash this one either.
