“100 in 100”: ARISE Scripture Memorization

The Bible says in Psalm 119:11, “Thy Word have I hid in mine heart. . . .” Scripture memorization is the way in
which we put His Word into our heart and mind. A part of the ARISE Flagship Program helps you accomplish this
goal. During your time at ARISE, you will have 100 days to memorize 100 Bible verses. These 100 texts were
carefully chosen to reaffirm your faith as a Gospel-sharing Seventh-day Adventist Christian.

Note: The KJV version for the Scripture formatting, but there was slight modernization of some of the words.

I. DEVELOPMENTAL TEXTS - Passages essential for helping you to develop a sense of identity and
mission as a Seventh-day Adventist Christian

1-17 The Law -

Exodus 20:1-17
“1 And God spoke all these words, saying,
2 ‘I am The LORD your God Who has brought you out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage.
3 You shall have no other gods before Me.
4 You shall not make
any graven image or any likeness of any thing
that is in heaven above
or that is in the earth beneath,
or that is in the water under the earth:
5 You shall not bow down yourself to them,
nor serve them,
for I The LORD your God am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children
to the third and fourth generation of them who hate Me;
6 And showing mercy to thousands of them who love Me
and keep My commandments.
7 You shall not take the name of The LORD your God in vain,
for The LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
8 Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shall you labor and do all your work,
10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of The LORD your God;
in it you shall not do any work,
you, nor your son, nor your daughter,
your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle,
nor your stranger who is within your gates:
11 For in six days The LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is,
and rested the Seventh Day,
wherefore The LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
12 Honor your father and your mother
so that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God gives you.
13 You shall not kill.
14 You shall not commit adultery.
15 You shall not steal.
16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
17 You shall not covet your neighbor’s house,
you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant,
nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor any thing that is your neighbor’s.’”

18-19 The Gospel -

as it is written, ‘The just shall live by faith.’”

7 saying with a loud voice,
‘Fear God and give glory to Him,
for the hour of His judgment is come,
and worship Him Who made heaven and earth,
and the sea and the fountains of waters.’
8 And there followed another angel, saying,
‘Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city,
because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.’
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice,
‘If any man worship the beast and his image,
and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand,
10 the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God,
which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation,
and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone
in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of The Lamb;
11 and the smoke of their torment ascends up forever and ever,
and they have no rest day nor night,
who worship the beast and his image,
and whosoever receives the mark of his name.’
12 Here is the patience of the saints;
here are they who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.”

before the coming of the great and dreadful Day of the LORD:

and the heart of the children to their fathers,
lest I come and smite the Earth with a curse.’”

29-31 The Mission -

Matthew 28:18-20
“18 And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying,
‘All power is given to me in heaven and in earth.

20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you;
and lo, I am with you always,
even to the end of the world.’
