Have you ever had one of those moments where you’re reading a familiar passage of scripture, and the Lord reveals something new? Perhaps you were able to see it from a different perspective. Or, maybe He spoke to your heart in a new way. Scripture is alive and active! It’s God’s way of communicating and working within the lives of His children.

Most Beautiful Bible Verses
The Bible reveals who God is, who we are, and the lengths that God has gone to restore our relationship with Him. Here are a few Bible verses that declare the attributes, commandments, and promises of God.
Beautiful Short Bible Verses
As the saying goes, “good things come in small packages”. John 11:35 is the shortest verse in the Bible, yet it reveals so much about the heart of Jesus. Lazarus had died. Although He knew that Lazarus would rise from the grave, Jesus joined in sharing the family’s grief.
Jesus wept – John 11:35 NASB
Another beautiful short verse that I love is found in the book of Job. This is a story about a man who worshipped God. I like to define worship as laying down our own will for the sake of God’s will. This is what we see Job doing. He had everything taken away from him. His possessions and his family.
This verse in Job 19 shows how he trusted God and His sovereignty over all the events of his life. He laid down his own life; his family, desires, dreams, comforts, and preferences in order to accept God’s will.
I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last, He will take His stand on the earth. – Job 19:25
Beautiful Bible Verses About Love
There are many verses about love. Here are a few that discuss God’s love for us, and how we should be loving others.
Bible Verses About God’s Love
The definition of steadfast is “fixed, unmoving, unchanging”. God’s love for His children is steadfast – constant and unchanging.
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. – Lamentations 3:22-23 ESV
This next verse in Romans 5 never fails to amaze me. Think about how hard it is for us to love our enemies. Christ died for His.
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. – Romans 5:8 NASB

Bible Verses About Loving Others
The two greatest commandments are both directly related to love. Loving God and loving others meet the requirements of the law.
…and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” – Mark 12:30-31
The verse above in Mark 12 tells us that we must be loving others. Then, this verse in 1 John tells us how we love others. The way we love others must extend beyond the words we speak. We show our love for others by our actions.
Little children, let’s not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth. – 1 John 3:8
Beautiful Bible Verses About Life
God is the author of life. As believers, we should value all of God’s creation, including the sanctity of life.
Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living person. – Genesis 2:7
Not only is He the author of life, but He also gives us abundant life! This not only applies to the eternal life we will one day experience with God in heaven but also the life we live here on earth. Jesus came to give us abundant life here and now by eliminating fear and sin and replacing them with holiness and hope for our eternal inheritance.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they would have life, and have it abundantly – John 10:10
If you were to study John chapter 1, you would see that Jesus is the Word of God. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God… and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” – John 1:1,14. Like bread sustains our body, the Word of God sustains our soul. Jesus – the Word of God is the only one who can meet our deepest needs and longings.
Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; the one who comes to Me will not be hungry, and the one who believes in Me will never be thirsty. – John 6:35
Bible Verses About A Godly Life
So many of the battles we fight are those within our own minds. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 tells us that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against any thoughts and ideas that raise themselves up in our minds against the knowledge and truth of God.
We must not conform to the world but be transformed by the renewing of our minds. We renew our minds as we read and meditate on God’s Word. This is why our daily bible reading and study are so important.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. – Romans 12:2
It’s important for us to saturate our thoughts with God’s truth because what we believe influences our actions. This is exactly what happened in the garden with Eve. She ate the fruit because she believed a lie. Godly thoughts lead to wisdom and godly living. Wrong thoughts lead to disobedience.
for His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence – 1 Peter 1:3

Beautiful Bible Verses About Faith
The Bible has a lot to say about faith. Hebrews 11 is one of my favorite chapters about faith. It begins by giving us a definition of faith and what it accomplishes.
Now faith is the certainty of things hoped for, a proof of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old gained approval… And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for the one who comes to God must believe that He exists, and that He proves to be One who rewards those who seek Him. – Hebrews 11:1-2; 6
Faith is what pleases God and gains His approval!
The following verse in 1 Peter tells us that we will have seasons when our faith is tested. However, this testing is what proves our faith. One day, this proven faith will result in praise, glory, and honor.
you have been distressed by various trials, 7 so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which perishes though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ – 1 Peter 1:6-7
Beautiful Bible Verses About Hope
When we place faith in Christ we are given new hope. A hope of eternal life in heaven with God.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead – 1 Peter 1:3
It is this hope that strengthens and sustains us in the midst of all of life’s difficult circumstances. The hope we have in Christ reminds us that this life is only temporary. All trials, pain, and suffering will, one day, come to an end. We don’t have to place our hope in the things or people of this world. Our hope is in something greater. Eternal. Unshakable. Our hope is Jesus.
Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, set your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. – 1 Peter 1:13
