-ARISE College's 100-in-100 set of 100 Bible verses that their students are required to memorize over the course of 100 days. These passages build a powerful foundation of Scripture to build on.
-Matthew chapters 5, 6 and 7. The inaugural address of Jesus Christ as He began His public ministry. Many believe this to be the most important passage in the Bible.
"In the Sermon on the Mount He sought to undo the work that had been wrought by false education, and to give His hearers a right conception of His kingdom and of His own character. Yet He did not make a direct attack on the errors of the people. He saw the misery of the world on account of sin, yet He did not present before them a vivid delineation of their wretchedness. He taught them of something infinitely better than they had known. Without combating their ideas of the kingdom of God, He told them the conditions of entrance therein, leaving them to draw their own conclusions as to its nature. The truths He taught are no less important to us than to the multitude that followed Him. We no less than they need to learn the foundation principles of the kingdom of God." - Desire of Ages
-Psalm 23. Perhaps the most memorized Psalm in history.
-Isaiah 53. The "Gospel Prophet" crescendo, painting the most vivid picture of Jesus in the Old Testament.
-Isaiah 58
