There are many trivia sites that you have to answer questions .   They help in sharpening your look up skills.  As you look them up, you can write the ones that captures you and  keep repeating them.

Also, some people can't retain memory verses in completion, but have parts of the verses in their head, that is me and I still have to go back and read the whole verses again when it comes to mind. Oh well, some I can and some takes some effort.

I can memorize verses but over time I corrupt them. I have to go back and double check the wording to ensure I'm still correct. I've also mixed translations over time in my memorization because I prefer certain words over others.

Good day everyone, happy Sunday. I have a question, how does one memorize scriptures and how to cultivate habit of studying bible regularly?

Start small and simple.

For bible study set aside a time each day when you will read the bible, use a simple study aid example 'everyday with Jesus or similar and form a habit of doing it.

Once this habit is established one can enlarge the time spent reading/studying the bible.

Try using traveling time to listen to audio bibles.

 

Memorising scripture. As every youth leader knows bible memory verses are learnt through repition, repition and repition.

 

Make up some cards about credit card size and on these cards writ book chapter, verse and the verse. Along with your bible reading habit start a memorising habit.

Pull out your bible verse cards and read aloud the first card, turn it over and reciet it, check the card, read it out loud, turn it over and reciept it. Do this untill you can say it correctly. Move on to the next card and so on through however many cards you have made. Do this every day, when you have 5 minutes to spare.

Eventually you will know these verses, so change the daily repition to weekly and start a new set of daily verses.

Hello Hadedami2.  

Do you know the rote method?  If you know the Happy Birthday song by memory, then you likely learned it like the rest of us via the rote method. 

I admit, I've read so much scripture that I can't recite from memory all of what I've read; some, but not all. But I can tell this much:  the only way to know God's word is to read and study God's word over and over and over again, and fellowship with other like-minded believers.  What I mean by study is, know who is writing what, know to whom is he writing, know when is he writing, know what are the meanings of the original Greek or Hebrew words that were translated into English, and know whether the writing is to be taken literally, metaphorically, historically, poetically, and whether he is writing of past, present, or future events. 

Peace

Truth? I never tried Its just things I read and would pray all the time. I know some that had that gift and remember everything they read and still would not teach/preach and quote would say "lets go back and ready it again were still human and can mess it up".  Granted he couldn't yet would go back and read it. 

So that's what I've always done.. when I reply ( not much should more) I go back no matter if I think I know I go back and look it up search again.
