Memory Verse 2017 -- Week 40

Sunday, October 8, 2017

For the wages of sin is death, 

but the gift of God is eternal life 

in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

Romans 6:23

In the workplace we expect to be paid for our labor. Those are our wages — what we have earned.

It’s a really good thing that believers have the peace in knowing that because of Christ Jesus, we will not get what we deserve. Instead, we are gifted with eternal life.  

Spend the week focusing on this scripture: 

• Read the verse in your Bible. 
• Read the passage before and after it. 
• Write it in your journal. 
• Ask the Lord to show you how it applies to your life. 
• Put it on a piece of paper and post it in a prominent place in your home so that you can see it often. 
• Put the words to music. Make up a tune or use one you already know. Singing always helps in the memory process. It's a left brain / right brain thing. 
• Always memorize the scripture reference with the verse so you can remember where to find it in the Bible.
