Of the many, many verses in the Bible, to be accurate all 31,102 of them, sometimes a certain few stick out to each individual. I wanted to share 11 of those that have changed my life, encouraged me somehow or reminded me of God's purpose. The Bible is God's Word to the Christians, and it's a guideline for our lives on Earth.
1. Jeremiah 29:11
Recommended for you
Anyone who knows me, knows this is my life verse. I have used this verse as a lifeline to trust in God and to trust that I have purpose for my life even when I can't see it.
2. Proverbs 3:5-6
At any point in my life when I have had no understanding of what to do, I remember these verses and remember that I am to trust God and not myself.
3. Acts 1:8
4. Isaiah 40:30-31
I know a few college students have used this verse as a stronghold. We are the "youths", but finals week can take out every ounce of usable, young strength out of you!
5. Joshua 1:9
Live life boldly!
6. James 2:26
The whole book of James is my favorite. To me, it's a book of how-to's when living a Christian life. James 2:26 particularly sticks out to me as a reminder that my faith should be seen in deeds, not for my glory, but to show faith in Jesus is not death but life.
7. 1 Peter 5:7
8. Romans 6:14
"...BUT UNDER GRACE"
9. 1 Timothy 4:12
10. Colossians 3:2
Looking around at events that are happening right now in America and across the world is really depressing. Setting our minds to above--Heaven's plans--can be really uplifting and purposeful.
