Had you asked about 5 I would say Acts, John, Romans, Galatians, Ephesians for Faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Kristina I also would reckon Romans 8 to be among them. Ephesians 2 is another. Of course, we need to remember that the chapter divisions are not inspired, although they are very useful.

Even the "books" are divided by convenience of book publishers in order to be able to bind separately  those books and sell them separately for gain. Verses and paragraphs chapters are all the convenience of man  rather than by inspiration of God. As to Romans the lengthy letter, by comparison to other letters, it's a complete responsive  thesis on four topics. Including what is divided up into chapters 9-11 being God's plan for Israel. Is one "chapter" more important to me than another? No don't think so God uses what I have read to guide me in various situations.  I never know ahead of time what God  through God the Holy spirit might bring forward within my mind to use as guidance for the moment's need. So I can only  conclude that  the Bible in it's entirety  is most important. It is there for good reasons of God for use by those He has foreknown and predestined to be with Him eternally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the most powerful verse in the Bible. So I guess that makes John 3 the most powerful chapter in the Bible.

Mat. 5:17 shows clearly that Jesus magnifies the law and doesn't do away with it. Expounds upon the ten commandments. Where there is no law, there is no sin.

It's the same for all of us. Today James is amongst my favorite books of the Bible. Earlier in life I probably would have gone with Revelation (still a favorite) or Ecclesiastes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each part of it has its own place and message but any of them without the other to support it really has little or no power at all. It's like the engine in your car, as a whole if functions and does all that it is designed to do, but remove one part of it and you're not going anywhere. Just the way I look at things, others may see it differently and each of us probably find themselves seeing it differently during the different stages in our lives as we progress through them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize 'til years later that Ecclesiastes was written by someone depressed and sorrowful about how he had lived his life. All that wisdom and still deceived by glittery trinkets of the world. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
