Very Short Verses In The Bible

It’s fantastic that today we can have the Bible with us at all times.

Even though our phones serve up every word of Scripture in multiple translations, memorizing the Bible still has tremendous value for adults and kids. Think of the Bible passages we memorize as the Holy Spirit’s vocabulary. When He wants to bring comfort or direction, His native tongue is the Bible.

And Bible memory doesn’t need to be intimidating. Start small, with some of the short Bible verses we’ve collected here.

Martin Luther had so much of the Bible memorized that, when God opened his eyes to justification by faith alone (see Romans 1:17), Luther was able to confirm what he had found without turning to anther page. “Thereupon I ran through the Scriptures from memory,” he later wrote.
