Why Memorize Scripture?
It heals and comforts us.
"He sent His word, and healed them..." (Psalm 107:20)
Scripture has the power to heal broken lives, and memorizing Scripture gets it deeper into our hearts where it can do its healing work.
It produces spiritual success.
"This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success." (Joshua 1:8)
There aren’t many guarantees in life, but here is one: if you memorize Scripture, meditate on it, and act on it, you will have spiritual success!
It fuels our witness.
"but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect," (1 Peter 3:15)
Memorizing Scripture will supercharge your personal evangelism and help you share the gospel bodly and biblically.
