My Favorite Bible Verses

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. - Psalm 19:1
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. - Matthew 22:36-40
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’This is the first and greatest commandment. - And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
- John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his only son so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life. - Galatians 5:22-23

Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. - Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. - Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable– if anything is excellent or praiseworthy– think about such things.
- Genesis 1:1
