Unit 1 Memory Verses Flashcards
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen
were not made of things which do appear.
Hebews 11:3
his verse teaches that God created ex nihilo (Latin: “out of nothing”), echoing the narrative of Genesis 1,
where God spoke the universe into existence. It also places the author and reader (“we”) as members of the list
of those praised for their faith in God throughout the rest of the chapter. We can join their ranks simply through
believing God’s creation of the world, his existence and his favor on those who seek him.
Hebrews 11:3
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him.
Colossians 3:10
This verse teaches that the goal of our salvation is to restore us to the unmarred image of God. This image was granted at creation and was never lost in a complete sense after the fall
However, the moral depravity represented by the old man and his deeds has no part of the new life
granted to a believer; he is instead to be remade after the original plan God had for man: to reflect what God is like as much as it is possible for a creature to do, to bear the image of his Creator. Note that this image includes, among other things, knowledge, or an intellectual capacity
Colossians 3:10
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of
the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Genesis 1:26-28
This passage, the first mention of man in the Bible, provides the basis for the recognition that man is distinct from everything else God made. Man is unique because he is made in the image of God and has
been granted by the Creator the power (both the ability and the authority) to have dominion over the world God
made. Many popular views of man propose that he is only an animal (evolution), that his use of the world’s
resources is essentially parasitic (extreme environmentalism), or that he can create meaning in the universe only by making his own choices without reference to anything but himself (existentialism). It contrast to these theories, the Bible teaches the direct (i.e. “fiat”) creation of man by God, his dominion over the rest of the creation, and the unique value of each individual person
Genesis 1:26-28
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men,
for that all have sinned
For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Romans 5:12 & 19
These verses are the key passages that compare the transmission of Adam’s sin to all mankind with the
transmission of Christ’s righteousness to all mankind. Adam’s sin resulted in death passing upon all men,
whereas Christ’s righteousness led to righteousness being made available for all men
Romans 5: 12 & 19
And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of
his heart was only evil continually.
Genesis 6:5
This verse expresses the magnitude of how completely sin has affected man. Several words amplify the affect:
“great”, “every”, “only”, and “continually.” Man could not hide his sin from God; God saw his wickedness and
announced the coming judgment of the flood.
Genesis 6:5
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity
of their mind,
Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the
ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
Who being past feeling have given
themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Ephesians 4:17-19
This passage discusses the way of life before salvation. Man is not a sinner simply because of his behavior; his
rational faculties ("the understanding") have been darkened by sin. His feelings now lead him towards sin rather than towards God. God commands the believer to behave differently from the Gentiles, providing in subsequent verses both a list of behaviors that distinguish the believer from the non-believer and the basis for those differences.Ephesians 4:17-19
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither
tempteth he any man:
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
James 1:13-14
No one can blame God for his sin, because not only is it not possible for God to sin, but he cannot even provoke man to sin. Rather, a man sins because of his own internal bent toward sin.
James 1:13-14
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Galatians 5:16-17
