Memorizing Scripture




Reaching Your World with Luis Palau show

Summary: God wants each believer to live a very fruitful life.  But some of us feel, "I've never led anyone to Christ, in fact, I've hardly ever even shared the Good News in a clear way."  Here's a promise from John chapter 15, verses 7 and 8.  Listen to this.  Jesus is speaking and He says: "If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be given to you  This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples."  Now listen, that is a great promise.  Take it for yourself today.  Take a moment alone with God and say "Lord, I want to remain in You and I want Your words to remain in me."  You know how you can get the Word of God to remain in you?  Not only to read it but also to memorize Bible verses.  I've been doing that since I was a teenager and I tell you, those Bible verses and promises keep popping up just at the right moment.  Because the Bible says that the Holy Spirit will remind you of everything that you should know.  And He can't remind you of something you don't know.  So if He's going to remind you, you've got to know it, and if you're going to know it you have to memorize it.  So the first step in your path to leading others to Christ is memorize several Bible verses.  Try it today, and God bless you.
