first verse that stuck with you besides the usual ones

<< < (3/4) > >>

To all my brothers and sisters,

 The  first verse that sticks in my mind besides the normal ones would have to be Mathew 7:1-5. I like this to and I know it is not a bible verse but it helps me out everyday:

                  God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change
                  Courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know
                                 the difference.
                   Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time
                   Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
                   Taking as  He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;
                   Trusting that he will make all things right if I SURRENDER to HIS will
                   That I maybe reasonably happy in this life.

    This is only my opinion, so if it offends someone I am sorry it was not my intent.

 
 

Phil3:10:
All,
Romans 8:28 was my first verse with real meaning. As Dave from TN said verse 29 is so important for real understanding of verse 28. My favorite is stil Phiippians 3:10. "That I may know HIM, and the power of HIS resurrection, and the fellowship of HIS suffering, being made conformable to HIS death". It is just HIM, JESUS, THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD,and THE SAVIOR OF ALL THE WORLD.
Phil3:10

1 Timothy 4:10
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

That one just STUCK from day one!

Samson:
Hello Everyone,

                      All good Scriptures, there are two that stick out in my mind, that caught my eye early on in life.

                    1st Scriptures: Romans. 12:17-21- " Return Evil for Evil to no one, provide fine things in the sight of all men. If possible, as far as it depends upon you, be peaceable with all men. Do not avenge yourselves beloved, but yield place to the wrath, for it is written : Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord. But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by doing this you will heap fiery coals upon his head. Do not let yourself be conquered by the Evil, but keep conquering the evil with the good. "

                    It is so obvious to me in regards to the above passage that all of us would require God's Holy Spirit to fully apply the above, at all times. On our own, an impossible task.


                    2ND Scripture: Matthew. 11:28-30- " Come to me, all you who are toiling and loaded, and I will refresh you. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am mild tempered and lowly in heart, and you will find refreshment for your souls. For my yoke is kindly and my load is light. "


                   This passage really hits the heart, Jesus doesn't beat up those of mankind who are already being beaten up by the Religious Leaders, Politicians, the Rich and Powerfull of this World, but provides refreshment for our souls and is kindly towards us.

                                          Your Brother, Samson.
