The quick answer is this: Grow Close To Christ Through Daily Scripture Memory.
There are many reasons to memorise Scripture. What I shall share here is only a small subset of those reasons.
The Word Is God
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ~ John 1:1 (NIV)
By memorizing scripture we in a sense carry Christ with us. It is much more fulfilling to walk with Christ when we can hear Christ’s Words in our minds and heart.
The Word Keeps Us From Sin
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you ~ Psalm 119:11
By memorizing scripture we know God’s heart and God’s law. We can do what is holy because we now know what is Holy. God’s Word has power.
The Word Transforms Us
Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. ~ John 15:3 (KJV)
The Word of God cleanses us from the inside out. God transforms us through his Word. It is by his Word that we came to our salvation in Christ, it it by His Word that we are sustained in our salvation in Christ.
