Power to Remember: Scripture Memory That Works

Why is it so important for Christians to reclaim our Power to Remember God’s Word?

• Because what we remember becomes part of us.
• Because what we commit to memory can transform our daily lives.
• Because when we remember God’s Word, we invoke His presence.
• Because God remembers us and calls us to remember Him.

God has made remembering central to our faith. God remembers His commitment to us, and calls us to remember every day our commitment to Him, to living by His ways, and to living connected with the entire family of God.

You might think you can’t memorize Scripture because the methods someone tried to teach you didn’t work. Jeremy Kluth’s POWER system makes Bible memory easy…

• Easy if you’ve never memorized anything
• Easy if you only have 5 free minutes a day

Christians have always memorized Scripture to fill their hearts and transform their lives with God’s Truth. Committing the Word to memory is a way to readily recall God’s constant powerful presence, wherever you are, to empower your thriving Christian life.

Scripture memory is essential in times and places where most people can’t read their own Bible – whether because there’s no printing, very few are literate, or Bibles are forbidden by law, as they still are in many countries. We’ve mostly lost Bible memory skills in cultures where we look up Scripture online as casually as we scroll to fun videos on social media.

Still, remembering God’s Word is a vital part of our relationship with Christ, just as are reading and studying the Word, praying to God and for others, sharing our faith with unbelievers, being a part of a church, and living as a faithful disciple in all that we do.

To memorize the Word will enhance your Bible reading and studying, and will be invaluable in your spiritual life.

Kluth offers more than a dozen tested and proven memory strategies. All are based in brain science but described in language everyone can understand. You’ll be able to explore memorization strategies and pick the ones that work for you.

People throughout history have always memorized the words of admired thought leaders as a way to shape their character and habits. The followers of Greek philosophers and American business gurus memorize their words to transform their own lives – why should Christians miss out on this valuable tool? Why not take the time to make sure that the God’s words – words that will challenge, encourage, and teach you – are with you always, so that you might be “transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect” (Rom. 12:2)?

Scripture memory will help you grow in a thriving life of faith, and the POWER system will help you succeed in memorizing the Word of God.
