Make a List

While talking with some friends I was reminded of the necessity of lists.

When I was in High School I could never remember the important Bible verses that I needed. So, I created several topical lists and put them in my Bible. In one Bible I wrote them in with a pen. In another Bible, I permanently taped in typed lists. I placed these lists on the back of the front cover.

Let me offer you a few of my lists.

About Starting a Relationship with God
Romans 3:23
Romans 5:8
John 3:16-17
Romans 10:9-10
2 Corinthians 5:17

About Getting Baptized in Water
Matthew 3:13-17
Acts 8:36-39
Romans 6:1-4
Matthew 28:19-20

About a Daily Quiet Time With God
Matthew 6:6
2 Timothy 2:15

Things God Promised (This list could go forever.)
Romans 10:13 - Salvation
James 1:5 - Wisdom
Philippians 4:19 - Supply
James 5:15 - Healing
Matthew 28:20 - Jesus Presence
1 John 1:9 - Forgiveness
John 14:27 - Peace

About the Holy Spirit
Genesis 1:2
John 14:16-17
John 14:26
John 16:7-9
Acts 1:8
Acts 2:4
Acts 10:44-46
Acts 19:1-7
1 Corinthians 12 and 14

What Happens When a Believer Dies?
2 Corinthians 5:6-8 - Separation at death
Job 21:26 - Our bodies decay.
1 Corinthians 15:20-22 - Believers bodies will be resurrected.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 - When our bodies are recreated

What will Eternity Be Like?
Revelation 21-22

If you have a list you want to add, try adding it as a comment. If you want to add a Scripture to a list, let me know in a comment. Remember to keep your list short. These are not intended to exhaustively cover any subject, but answer some of the most common questions that you hear. If your list is too long it will cease to be a good quick reference tool.
