Now that the New Year has come, many Christians are still thinking about what they can do differently this year. One thing we are starting at Judsonia church of Christ is committing to memorizing a book of the Bible together in 2022. To kick things off, we had a lesson on the Benefit of Memorizing Scripture. You can use your own points, of course, but since we are memorizing James here are the four points we used in our lesson:
Benefits of Memorizing Scripture
1. Draw Near to God (James 4:8)
2. Do God’s Word (James 1:22; 2 Tim. 2:15)
3. Develop Our Faith (James 1:2-4; Rom. 10:17)
4. Defend Against Sin (James 1:21; Psalm 119:11)
No doubt many will believe they can’t memorize a whole book of the Bible! Do a quick search for scripture memorization techniques on the internet and find ways to encourage them to try it!
What books can you envision your congregation memorizing?
