Top Ten Bible verses

Cribbing from John Hobbins and Doug Chaplin. Click ‘full post’ for my favourite texts.

Not necessarily in order (and quoting from memory).

“I came that they might have life and have it in all its fullness”
“In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God”
“Love one another as I have loved you”
“The creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God”
“Not everyone who calls me Lord will enter the Kingdom, but those who do the will of my Father in heaven”
“You did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last”
“The spirit will lead you into all truth… and the truth shall set you free”
“Come to me all who labour and are heavy laden and I shall give you rest, for my burden is easy and my yoke is light”
“No longer do I call you servants… I call you friends”
“And there shall be no more crying, no more mourning, no more pain any more, for the former things have passed away. And the one on the throne said ‘Behold, I make all things new'”

An unsurprising emphasis upon the fourth gospel.
