I think everyone who reads the bible has a verse or chapter that really stands out to them and that they live by. What verse do you live by and like the most? Why?

John 3:16

Here's a few: Psalm 83:18, Exodous 6:2,3, 3:15, Isaiah 42:8
Isaiah 12:2 and 26:4
All of these scriptures and more of them show many people today what God's true name is.
I have a question for you, If God has a name, and we are suppose to make his name sanctified as Matthew 6:9,10 tells us to do, why do people choose not to use it? Why do they prefer to use titles when refering to God, such as Lord, Almight God? He says to use his name and nothing else.
How would you feel if your work mates didn't call you by your name and made up something to call you?

Ecclesiastes 7:20 There is not a righteous man on earth
who does what is right and never sins.
It's one of the best lines in the Bible, and demonstrates what I believe to be a fundamental principle of Christianity. We are all in the same boat, and there is no man who should judge another as a sinner, since there is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins.
So, when certain "Christians" say "God hates f#gs" or "you're going to hell if you believe in evolution", well, mind your own back yard, my friend. For there is no man on earth who does what is right and never sins. Every priest, minister, Pope, deacon, born again Christian, and everyone else who may claim to know "the way" and to follow Jesus truly -- every such person -- sins.

Matthew 19:16-22 because - although it is most often understood superficially as related to money rather than obligation - it was my first grasp as a child of the depth of unselfing (egolessness) required for the experience of eternal "aliveness" or serving the authentic Christ Self.
16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

...I love Deuteronomy chapter 8:15-16, which says:
...15 "He led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water; He brought water for you out of the rock of flint.
...16 "In the wilderness He fed you manna which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and that He might test you, to do good for you in the end.
**
...I call this the "Romans 8:28" of the Old Testament. It shows God's care for His own, and shows that God has good for us planned - for the believer in Christ it is to become more like Jesus.

For the word of God is quick, and powerful sharper than any twoedged sword,piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow,and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Jeremiah 1:5 says that before I was even formed in my mother's womb He knew me, not only that He set me apart for himself, and gave me a purpose in Him. It has been my strength many times. I used to suffer with low self esteem and feelings of not being loved and this verse changed all that for me. How awesome that God knows me so well!

Luke 21:1-4
"As he looked up, Jesus saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. "I tell you the truth," he said, "this poor widow has put in more than all the others. All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on."
Now I don't believe in god or any of that jive but this is still my favorite.
