Memory Verses
The Bible reveals God to us, the way of salvation, and truth and wisdom for life. It is powerful to save us and transform our lives, but not like a magic spell (as if it has power if it is said out loud, whether or not we understand it). We are transformed by the Bible as we meditate on it (see Psalm 1 or Romans 12:1-2) - meaning we remind ourselves of what it says, think about what it means, and seek to have the truth it communicates move our hearts and change our outlook. There is great value then in memorising Scripture, because it allows us to more easily remind ourselves of biblical truth, at any time, and counsel ourselves and others with it. As a church, we memorise a memory verse together every month (February to November). We use the ESV version.
