Extended Memorization Of Scripture: 2 PeterSample

The memorization of Scripture enables us to bless lost people with a powerful and vivid presentation of the gospel of salvation, for “Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17).

Those who memorize Scripture obey Peter’s command in this regard: “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have” (1 Peter 3:15). The “preparation” Peter had in mind is powerfully done by memorizing Scripture.
