The Bible says in Psalm 119:11, “Thy Word have I hid in mine heart. . .” Scripture memorization is the way in which we put His Word into our heart and mind.
“100 in 100” is all about growing spiritually – so why not take the challenge and in the next 100 days memorize 100 Bible verses. Following are 100 texts that have been carefully chosen to affirm our faith as a Gospel-sharing Christian.
Though it might seem a bit daunting, please know that these are 100 verses, not 100 passages. So, some of the verses are very short, i.e. “Thou shall not steal.” – Exodus 20:15.
There are three categories of texts – Developmental – develop a sense of identity, doctrinal – present the teaching of the Bible and decision – call for action and decision.
