Key Memory Verses of the Bible

"I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you."
Psalm 119:11


The Bible is God’s word to you for today and for every day of your life.  That’s why it is so important that you memorize passages from God's word.  You should always remember what God tells you to do through the Bible.  The best way to remember what he says is to memorize key passages.

Here is a list of some very popular and practical verses taken from every book of the Bible.

Because there are so many verses, you probably won’t be able to memorize all of them.  But you will be able to choose verses that are especially important to you.  When you try to memorize a verse, make sure you understand it first.  Then go over it many times so you wont forget it.

The translators of the New International Version used modern, easy-to-understand language, so the verses are easy to memorize.  Memorizing Bible verses will help you grow in your Christian faith.  It will help you to know the Bible better, and it will help you to tell others about your faith.
