For my fellow Christians on this site, post a Bible verse!

[Jim 2,990]

I thought I'd make a thread where we just post bible verses that we've been feeling applies to our life lately. Like, if you've been reading a particular book from the bible, and you feel like one verse really speaks to you, feel free to post it and maybe discuss it too! I feel this would be a good way to gain fellowship, even if it's just with people over the internet. 

 

EDIT: Feel free to also post lyrics from Christian songs or segments from Christian poems/articles, stuff like that. Anything that speaks to you, post it!

 

Also, feel free to post if you're not a Christian, but please post something that contributes to the discussion and isn't just a troll post. I don't want to see random out-of-context verses that you're posting to just make us look bad. Thanks!

 

Let's start with a simple one:

 

John 6:35 — Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.

 

Hope we can have some good discussions here!

Well this is not a bible quote but it's a christian poem referring to those who have a hard time giving their problems to God and letting Him handle it without their own interference. :

 

Like children bring their broken toys with tears for us to mend, I brought my broken dreams to God because he was my friend

Instead of leaving Him in peace to work alone, I tried to help with ways that were my own .

Alas I cried, How can you be so slow ?

He said, because dear child, you never did let go.

Oh, that's a good idea! I'll edit the original post so that we post poems/songs and stuff like that too. That's a cool poem! 

[Isamu Kuno 2,512]

Well, I'm areligious (Not atheist because I don't entirely dismiss the possibility) and I haven't read the Bible, although I've heard some quotes. My favorite is "Judge not lest ye be judged." one that the more... outspoken groups... seem to forget.

HE knows your pain. HE sees you and HE loves you. HE knows your name.. HE knows your name.

So true, my friend. I can admit that a lot of people on our side (myself included sometimes), have been guilty of judging like that.

I'm not religious and this isn't a bible verse but technically it's from a movie based on a biblical story and damn it's catchy.

Forgot the exact location, but it is in Luke.

"...and if you have no sword, then go, sell your cloak and buy one."

This is the chorus from the song On Eagle's Wings. BTW, i'm Catholic, too.

 

 

And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
 

Bear you on the breath of dawn,
 

Make you to shine like the sun,
 

And hold you in the palm of His Hand.

Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 1 John 4:20

 

oh, and this isn't a bible verse, but it's "holy"

 

“There is a reason God limits man's days." 

"Why?"

"To make each one precious."

This topic awesome! Thanks so much for making this Jim

 

"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God.  Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.  Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."

 

1 John 4:7-11

 

Here are some quotes from Mother Teresa that I really love too:

 

“Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.” 

 

“We must know that we have been created for greater things, not just to be a number in the world, not just to go for diplomas and degrees, this work and that work. We have been created in order to love and to be loved.” 

[4Everbee 1,365]

I'm not a Christian, but this is a quote from 33Miles, they're a great Christian band.

 

"There's a beauty to the dawn, a rhythm to the rain

A silence in the soul that I just can't explain

There's a breath of life I breathe, a beating in my heart

A magnificence, a scary sense of what lies past the stars

Beyond what we can see behind the mystery

I know that it could only be."
