Scripture Memory Tool
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 8:17). The same Word that saves us also sustains us, strengthens us, and shapes us. The purpose of this tool is to provide the believer with a resource for memorizing the word of God and hiding it in the heart (Deuteronomy 11:18, Psalm 119:11, Colossians 3:16).
It is well known that the best method of fixing any fact in the mind is by continued repetition and associating like things together.
In attempting to fix in the memory the location of important verses it is worth while to be constantly on the lookout for any coincidences that occur.
FOR EXAMPLE: “The 3:16’sâ€
John 3:16 is considered the greatest promise in the Bible. The memory may be aided by associating this great promise with the other important 3:16’s which occur in the Scriptures.
