Memorize Scripture – A Biblical Challenge

Theresa's Bible Study women

I keep an ear tuned to Joshua 1:8 which challenges us to meditate on the Word, do what it says and the results will be success. So, what does the Bible say about the significance of Scripture?

Memorize Scripture – A Biblical Challenge
2 Timothy 3: 16-17 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Hebrews 4: 12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Josh.1: 8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.
Matthew 24: 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
Jeremiah 15: 16 When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart's delight, for I bear your name, O LORD God Almighty.
1 Peter 1:25; 2:2-3 but the word of the Lord stands forever." And this is the word that was preached to you… Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
Colossians 3: 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
John 17: 17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.
Romans 15:4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
Psalms 19: 7-11 The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous. They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb. By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
Psalms 119: 9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.
11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
24 Your statutes are my delight; they are my counselors.
105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
133 Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me.

Hopefully these words from the Creator of the Universe give us encouragement and shows us the significance of “hiding God’s Word in our hearts.”
