12 Bible Verses Every Christian Should Know

I have never been one for being able to quote a scripture for everything that happens in life. And to be frank, I sometimes question people who do. I know, I know, we are not supposed to judge others. However, there are times when I feel some are being disingenuous when they feel the need to say a quote from the Bible for everything someone does, but don’t live by the word themselves.  Or better yet, don’t even read the Bible outside of the church.

So, I took it upon myself to find 12 Bible verses that every Christian should know that applies to, well, my motto, living the best life possible. In other words, Bible verses for you to truly live your life the way God desires.

Although I’m sharing this in May, I decided to only pick 12 that way we could pick one to focus on each month. So, by this time next year, we will definitely know these 12 Bible verses well enough to quote and live by.
