What is your favourite verse in the Bible?

It's John 3:16 for me. I always found it a comfort to think that God loved me like that, that he would send his son to save me. It's one of the few verses that I can remember by heart actually. Oh sure, I can remember Jesus wept, the shortest verse in the Bible (though not where it is located!) but John 3:16, that one I can quote.

Hi phillip_shiny Honestly, I don't have habit to read bible daily. Sometimes I feel bored and sleepy,,hehe.. but I know some good verse from novel. I don't know exactly the location, but the verse sounds like this "Knock, and the door will open. Search, and you will find..." I love that verse! It bring me hope to reach my dream Everytime I feel down or hopeless, I will remember this verse and it bring me hope and strength again, as if I continue search, definitely I will get it! Waw..you have such a good habit, reading bible everyday..

i guess i would have to say Proverbs 3: 5&6 because it says "trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways, acknowledge Him and he will make your paths straight."

I am not in the habit of reading the bible though I know that both my fiance and I should become more habitual to doing this. I would like to say we will as soon as we get settled with a routine but even that is no excuse! In any case, my favorite verse... Proverbs 31 Verse 27 as follows : 27She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. To me this is whom I want to be... a wife who takes care of the household and her husband and their offspring... it warms my heart to think of it, and though I know I have hard work ahead of me I can do all things through christ who strengthens me!

Hi Phillip, The well known verse is John 3:16. My favourite is : Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and all these things will be added unto you. Ask and it shall be given unto Knock and it shall be open unto you. Why : It is God promise that God will answer our prayer if we seek Him first, if We ask from Him and if we are persistent in our prayer, the door will open for us. God Bless You :)

My favorite verse was from Psalms 37:4. I really love this verse. This had been my favorite verse since I was on my college years. It had been my principle in everyday life and it had helped me in my spiritual Christian walk. And until now, it is still my favorite verse and I always think of this verse at all times to make me feel even more burning and have that zeal in serving God.

there are some verses that i like but there's this one that i liked the most.it's romans 16:16. it denotes my recent affiliation and i felt at peace with it. every week me and my family go to church twice a week.that's why we bond together. they always say the family that prays together, stays together.

My favorite verse is: Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." It is very comforting to me to know that no matter what I might be going through at any time He has plans for me and will never hurt me but instead will be there for me always. All any of us has to do is call on His name and He is there. I just heard an excellant teaching tonight reminding all of us that success begins with dependency on God. Turn to Him always and develop an intimate relationship with Him so He will be with you always.

"Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. And all this things shall be added unto you" ---- My fave!

Hello phillip_shiny. You have found a great topic to discuss. I've been trying to read the Bible chapter by chapter but never get to do it completely. What a conincidence it is that my favorite verse of the Bible is also Psalm 23.4 "..the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want..." I've loved it since from my young days and I find it so inspirational even now. Isn't it so true when you can say "I will fear no evil, for you are with me..." Bless you too.

I have always liked and still like John 3:16. It gives me hope. It is the one verse that just about everyone knows. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. He gave up something so we could live. Boy doesn't that just tug at you.

There are many verses in the bible that are my favorites but the most favorite, i thik is on Matthew 11:28-30: "Come to Me all of you who are weary and heavily laden and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and humble of heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." These verses really comfort my soul whenever I am in the midst of many problems and trials in life. When I had first read these verses it struck me and I even wept at that time.

Hello I too read the bible everyday. I do a daily devotion out of two different books. My favorite verse.... well there is too many to write. I would say that my signiture verse (the one I try to live by) would be 2 Corinthians 5:17, its the one that talks about being a "New Creation" in christ. I like it because it reminds us that we are forgiven and made new, we have a clean slate. All our prior sins have been cleansed and we can move on from that life. Many people have very inspirational testimonies and many people look to live my that verse as I do. Another favorite would be Psalm 34:8. That one says: "Taste and See that the Lord he is Good, Blessed is man that TRUSTS in him!" Its is teaching us that if we trust in him, completely whole heartedly that he will in turn bless us. God's Blessings are so sweet and they come just at the time we need them. ok and the last one I will mention is Ephesians 2:8 it says that is is by GRACE, through FAITH that we are saved NOT by ourselves or our works! It is a gift from God to us. That is the most precious gift we can ever recieve. Thank you God. Great Discussion. Have A Blessed Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Firstly, SomeCowgirl, I love your reply from Proverbs 31, me too! In fact I think I should stick that one on my fridge! Beautifully put in your explanation too, thank you. I have so many, I have been a Christian since I was quite young and you know how along the way you pickup those verses that come with experiences and you never forget them... I think I would have to say the whole of Psalm 139, if I must choose one! I had to give my testimony at church on Sunday and I came back to this Psalm about four times in what I said without planning to! It ties in with my personal story so much though. It says God knit us together in our mothers womb and that all of our days were known to him before one of them came to be - I am adopted and to me that means I was not a mistake, God planned for me to be born. It says even if I dwell on the far side of the sea, even there His hand will guide me, and hold me fast - I moved from England to America to get married and I struggle a lot with homesickness. But God is with me here on the 'far side of the sea!' Psalm 139 v 14 says I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I grew up believing I was nothing -that I was not worth loving and therefore God could not love me either. From the ages of 17 to 27 I had bulimia and was filled with self hatred. My recovery began with learning to see myself as God sees me. A few years ago I couldn't even say that verse out loud. So, you see I couldn't choose just ONE verse out of my Psalm!!

For em there are so many good verses that I would have hard time picking a favorite. What works for me are the ones that are relevant to what i am going through at the time I read them. I don't think people realize there are so many verses that are still relevant to our everyday life. My husband who has a great memory, has practically memorized the whole bible (yes, you read the right)and I sometimes go to him to help me find verses to help me in the moment. It is awesome what we are able to find that I had no idea was in there.

I read the Bible almost every day, though I do have some trouble memorizing verses. My favorite Bible verse is Ecclesiastes 3:11 "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what He has done from beginning to end." This verse come after the famous "a time for this... and a time for that..." passage. It's my favorite Bible verse because it's a reminder that God has written a beautiful story, even though sometimes we can't see it.

I have two. The first one is Isaiah 1:18 and the second one is Joshua 24:15. Oh what a Blessing!

..and He gave His only begotten son that ALL may be saved. That's the kicker for me. ENJOY!

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

thanks for this discussion. I may not be able to give you specific verse in the bible but i am interested to share this to you the golden rule in every bible whatever your religion. Yes i graduated in a religious school but after that i forgot the readings in the bible. but the golden rule is always in my heart. "Do unto others what you would have others do unto you." For me this is a very touching, inspiring passage so simple but full of life. Im proud to tell you this wherever i go whatever i do i always make this passage my inspirations. they give me much strength to go on with my life. With the challenges ive been with i stick to that rules frankly i always win the battle. but winning does not always mean you defeat your opponent but what i mean you were able to have peace of mind the way things went through. god bless and more power
