The verses selected should all be very positive and transforming good news.
Most, if not all of these, will be the gracious Words of our Sovereign Creator Father-Son Jesus Christ.
Some will be found in John, and in Isaiah or in Rev. may be one or more.

My favorite is from Revelation. 21:4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. This verse refers to what things will be like after this wicked system has been crushed. I've always found it very encouraging. Gives me something to look forward to besides retiring, poverty, health getting worse, etc.

Seven verses of the Bible? How come Allah sent the messenger the Jesus Christ (PUH) and not a single version of the Bible has its original source from Him. Bible was written by different person in different time and with their own interpretation? Quaran was revealed in 23 years and it is only one and the same which was sent through Gabriel to Muhammad (PUH) and there no dispute and only a few verses are enough to help transform and encourage all humans worldwide, now and for the next thousand years or more, i.e., all of us are sons and daughters of Adam (PUH) and Eave (PUH) and there is no God but one God (ALLAH). Islam recognises all earlier religions but for the obvious reason the earlier religions though knew about the last messenger Muhammad(PUH) but concealed it for reasons best known to them.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans Ch 3. v 23
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, it teaches us to say no to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this. While we wait for the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify a people thta are his very own eager to do what is good.
Titus Ch 2. v 11-14
Also;
Mark Ch 16. v 16
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

John 3:16 For god so loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whoever belives in him will not perish but have eternial life. That verse would save everyone P.S. something you might not know, they call a Bible a bible because it stands for Basic Intructions Before Leaving Earth

Fairy tales or no, there's a lot of wisdom in them thar pages. These really need no explanation, except the one about the children, which I believe says to teach children the ways of righteousness.
Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not covet.
Thou shalt not steal.
Do unto others as ye would that they do until you.
Suffer the little children to come unto me.
Love thy neighbor as thyself.
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

The whole Bible is important, but here are some of the best verses to understand:
"For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." -Romans 3:23
"For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many." - Mark 10:45
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 6:23
"For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." - Romans 10:9
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." - 1 John 1:9
Sorry they are very Romans-heavy, but that's where some of the truths of the Bible are put simply.

John 14:6 And Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Matthew 16:24-25 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

Isaiah 11:1-4
" there shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit. And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide diputes by what his ears hear, but with righteousness he shall judge the poor and decide with equity for the meek of the earth."
Is 53:2-3;5
he had no form or majesty that we should look upon him and no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief
For he was wounded for our transgrsssions and he was crushed for our iniquities
so shall my word that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose and shall succeed for which I sent it.
and maybe ......
Romans 1:18-20
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth, For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power,and divine nature have been clearly perceived , ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are with out excuse.....claiming to be wise they became fools.
I think they speak for themselves

Luke 7, 37-38 Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven..... For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.
We live in world that is trying to impose ideas, thoughts, feelings, cultures, and other social issues unto each other, Why? Who died and made us so worthy of perfection. Live and let live, we are not the ultimate judge and jury, of those there is only one and we will all eventually answer to him only.
