BENEFITS OF MEMORIZING SCRIPTURE
We should memorize scripture as much as we could because...
1. It Helps me resist temptation.
"I have hidden your Word in my heart that I might not sin against you." (Psalm 119:11)
2. It helps me make wise decisions.
"Your Word is a lamp to guide me and a light for my path." (Psalm 119:105)
3. It strengthens me when I'm under stress.
"... Your promises to me are my hope. They give me strength in all my troubles; how they refresh and revive me!" (Psalm 119:49)
4. It conforts me when I'm sad.
"Your words are what sustain me... They bring joy to my sorrowing heart and delight me." (Jeremiah 15:16)
5. It helps me witness to unbelievers.
"Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have." (1 Peter 3:15)
