Could someone help me find a bible scripture?

Question

My son is going to be dedicated to our church in a few weeks. The pastor told me to have a scripture ready for him to reference during the ceremony. I should read my bible more than I do and I'm embarrassed to even ask this. Does anyone have a favorite scripture that would be appropriate for this event? Thank you! {:o)

Answer 1

Well, it really depends on what kind of person your son is; what his life has been like.

One I've found helpful; kind of like a life verse:

acts 20:24
but my life is worth nothing to me unless i use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the good news about the wonderful love and kindness of God.


hope he gets as much out of it as i did!

The Bible holds out a appealing wish for the destiny. there are a number of scriptures which could build your faith. examining and examining the life and MINISTRY of God's son Jesus whilst he grow to be on earth is relatively encouraging and faith strengthening. those debts of what Jesus did whilst on earth supply us a glimpse of what he will do for mankind interior the close to destiny as King of God's Kingdom. For myself i all started examining the Gospel debts(Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John). different scriptures that build our faith are: Revelation 21: 4, the place Jehovah God delivers: And he will wipe out each and every tear from their eyes, and dying would be not extra, neither will mourning nor outcry nor soreness be anymore. the former issues have gave up the ghost. John 5:28, 29, the place Jesus reported: do no longer ask your self at this, because of the fact the hour is coming wherein all those interior the memorial tombs will pay attention his voice and come out, Psalm seventy two:12-sixteen There additionally are many scriptures that teach that the coaching of hellfire is a fantasy. in factor of actuality God does no longer punish human beings in hell. The Hebrew and Greek words translated hell, communicate with the effortless grave, no longer a place of fiery torment. And the Bible for sure exhibits that once a man or woman dies, they give up to exist, they at the instant are not wakeful of something —Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10, a million John 4:8, Psalm 146:3, 4, Romans 6:7, 23. there are fairly some different scriptures which could show you how to construct your faith and not be in worry that it may take too long to show right here. the factor is to commence examining the Bible on a daily basis and in case you don't understand a definite factor or scripture, ask for help to know it. Jehovah's Witnesses grant loose living house bible learn classes to help human beings learn the Bible and understand the bright destiny that awaits us.

I think that Lady Phoenix Has the right idea. If you would like to search the bible on your own I suggest BibleGateway.com. It has a really good search engine. I think it will mean more to you if you find your own verse there.

Answer 8

So you want a Christian to help you cheat so you dont have to read the bible? You said you have a few weeks..... Read the book of John and pick the best one in it. Read Proverbs to your son if he is old enough to understand.... He will probably like it. Then you can both pick it.... read with your whole family.

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth.
Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.
—Psalm 127:3-5

Train up a child in the way he should go;
even when he is old he will not depart from it.
—Proverbs 22:6

All your children shall be taught by the Lord,
and great shall be the peace of your children.
—Isaiah 54:13

Proverbs 4:1-17

Taking a child, He set him before them, and taking him in His arms, He said to them,
"Whoever receives one child like this in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me does not receive Me, but Him who sent Me."
Mark 9:36-37

Answer 10

Psalm 91 and where you can substitute the baby's name.
Ps 91:1 (Baby name) who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. He (or she) I will say of the LORD, “He is my refugee and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

(and you continue all the way through the Psalm.) My dad did it at my nephew's dedication and in Nigeria they use it all the time for baby dedications.

Blessings.
