Extended Memorization Of Scripture: 2 PeterSample

Memorizing Scripture does not merely bless US in our own growth and development but becomes a treasure trove for the growth of the church as well. The Scripture memorizer will be used mightily by God to teach and encourage other Christians, with an apt word from the perfect Word of God: “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom . . . ” (Colossians 3:16).

How better can you obey Colossians 3:16 than by Scripture memorization? The “word of Christ” will indeed “dwell in you richly” as you memorize it and work it over in your mind through meditation.
