What is your favorite verse(s)?

Here is the latest one for me.

James 1:19-2119 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

[Protoevangel]

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ

and

Revelation 22:20b Amen. Come Lord Jesus!

[Ellesar]

Isaiah 40:31 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint

[Salsa_1960]

Romans 12:2
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.

[Razorbuck]

So many I couldn't list them all, here's a couple I need in front of me all the time:

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16

From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Psalms 61:2

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Psalm 34:8

[Iosias]

Titus 3
3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

[Nicolette]

For me, it's the good old standard John 3:16.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotton Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life."

It's so hard to top that one, for me.

[Harry the Heretic]

Isaiah 35
10 and the ransomed of the LORD will return.
They will enter Zion with singing;
everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

1 John 4

4You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

[Bradford]

Daniel 14:38 And Daniel said, Thou hast remembered me, O God: neither hast thou forsaken them that seek thee and love thee.

Just was reading this last night...

[Iosias]

Here is another one I love!! "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15

[TwinCrier]

For me, it's the good old standard John 3:16.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotton Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life."

It's so hard to top that one, for me.I agree, though Romans 8:2 comes close. :)

[Bon]

One of my favourite verses (I have many) is:

Romans 2:12-16
All who have sinned without the law will also persish without the law, and all who have sinned under to law will be judged by the law. For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous but the doers of the law who will be justified. When Gentiles who have not the law do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or perhaps axcuse them on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

With thanks

[Col]

Philippians 4:6-7

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

[Paula]

I have so many favorite verses, but this passage gives me peace and great strength:

Psalm 84

1 How lovely is your dwelling place,
O LORD Almighty!
2 My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the LORD ;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.

3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young-
a place near your altar,
O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.
Selah

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca,
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it with pools. [2 (http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?passage=psalms+84&NIV_version=yes&language=english#footnote_151492122_2)]
7 They go from strength to strength,
till each appears before God in Zion.

8 Hear my prayer, O LORD God Almighty;
listen to me, O God of Jacob.
Selah
9 Look upon our shield, [3 (http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?passage=psalms+84&NIV_version=yes&language=english#footnote_151492122_3)] O God;
look with favor on your anointed one.

10 Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
the LORD bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.

12 O LORD Almighty,
blessed is the man who trusts in you.

Does anyone get goosebumps when they read certain bible passages?

Like this one does for me:
Revelation 11:15-18 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign for ever and ever." And the twenty-our elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshipped God, saying, "We give thanks to thee, Lord God Almighty, who art and who wast, that thou hast taken thy great power and begun to reign. The nations raged, but thy wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, fof rewarding thy servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear thy name, both SMALL and GREAT, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth."

Sounds silly doesnt it? :)

Does anyone get goosebumps when they read certain bible passages?

It happens all the time (at least when i'm suppose to learn something). :)

Eph 1:3-6 KJV
(3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
(4) According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
(5) Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
(6) To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us
accepted in the beloved.
And Actually......... I get goosebumps whenever i read ponder on these verses.
Eph 2:20-22 KJV
(20) And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
(21) In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
.......all the building > God's entire plan
(22) In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
.......our part in that plan (i.e. all spiritual blessings & accepted in the beloved).

:)

Oooh Yeah!
and how 'bout Isaiah 58:13
"If you turn back your foot from the sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day, and call the sabbath a delight and the holy day of the Lord honourable; if you honour it, not going your own ways, or seeking your own pleasure, or talking idly; then you shall take delight in the Lord, and I will make you ride upon the heights of the earth; I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken."

today is Sabbath for me.

Some of the verses I live by:
Ecclesiastes 12:

13 Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the whole duty of man.

Phillipians 4:

8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.

2 Timothy 4:

1In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: 2Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction. 3For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 5But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.

Titus 2:

15These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.

[BarbB]

I'm going to start with the 23 Psalm. I memorized it as a child and I believe that praying this brought about my salvation! :bow:

More later - plus I love all the above!

[PaladinGirl]

Proverbs 3:5-6

[TheScottsMen]

Phil 4:6-9
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

[dtam]

Two of my favourite verses have to be:

(Rom 10:9) That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

(Rom 10:10) For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

Apostle Paul so clearly stated the means of salvation for sinners like me.

[Bizzlebin Imperatoris]

One of my favorites is the armor of God. Wisdom 5:16-20

16 Therefore shall they receive a glorious kingdom, and a beautiful crown from the Lord's hand: for with his right hand shall he cover them, and with his arm shall he protect them. 17 He shall take to him his jealousy for complete armour, and make the creature his weapon for the revenge of his enemies. 18 He shall put on righteousness as a breastplate, and true judgment instead of an helmet. 19 He shall take holiness for an invincible shield. 20 His severe wrath shall he sharpen for a sword, and the world shall fight with him against the unwise.

Also, 1 Macabees 3:19

For the victory of battle standeth not in the multitude of an host; but strength cometh from heaven.

[caitlincares]

I have many favorites.
But on Sunday which is the day set aside especially to worship and praise him...

Psalms 100

[caitlincares]

Also in the same vein...

Psalms 150

[caitlincares]

And one last one for this time...

Psalms 103

[Sacrifice]

I really like the promises God made in Deuteronomy 28. Those are my favourite verses.

28:1 “If you indeed1 (http://www.bible.org/netbible/deu28_notes.htm#281) obey the Lord your God and are careful to observe all his commandments I am giving2 (http://www.bible.org/netbible/deu28_notes.htm#282) you today, the Lord your God will elevate you above all the nations of the earth. 28:2 All these blessings will come to you in abundance3 (http://www.bible.org/netbible/deu28_notes.htm#283) if you obey the Lord your God: 28:3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the field.4 (http://www.bible.org/netbible/deu28_notes.htm#284)28:4 Your children5 (http://www.bible.org/netbible/deu28_notes.htm#285) will be blessed, as well as the produce of your soil, the offspring of your livestock, the calves of your herds, and the lambs of your flocks. 28:5 Your basket and your mixing bowl will be blessed. 28:6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.6 (http://www.bible.org/netbible/deu28_notes.htm#286)28:7

God Bless.
