Epic Bible Quotes: 19 Significant Scriptures

The Bible is the most quoted book of all time.  It is also the best selling book and the book translated in the most languages as well.  I start off with that to show the significance of the Word of God [1].  Many of the verses that I will list in this article are even known, at least in part, by many people who do not consider themselves to be followers of Jesus Christ (which I will call Christians).  This listing below is certainly not any exact science in how I compiled these verses.  Many of these were memory verses that I learned in AWANA programs as a young child. Some of my choices for this topic are verses dealing with the grace of God and the message of salvation but others just are reminders about prayer and that God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent.

Consider the following epic Bible verses:

Conclusion

This was one of the most enjoyable articles that I have ever written.  It was fun to look at the whole canon of Scripture and to find verses that have inspired, challenged, and motivated me into being a follower of Jesus Christ.  I am calling these verses “epic” for this article for this reason.  I am sure that there are many favorites of you all that may have made your own listing like this.  Please add your favorites in the comment section so that we all can reflect on verses that have impacted our life.  My prayer is that you will enjoy thinking through and reflecting on the words of the creator of heaven and earth and how they have impacted your own life and faith.

In Christ,
Pastor Daryl
