It is easy to question your path in life, your decisions that you have made, and even your faith. Finding my place in my faith was one of my biggest accomplishments this year and has taught me so many things about peers, my God, and myself. As I read my Bible I like to highlight my favorite verses and share them with my friends and family. These 20 bible quotes may spark your interest again in your faith, may help you through a tough time, and may be reminders of how great our world and God is.

  • Romans 12:2 “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
  • 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.”
