New Testament Daily Bible Verse

In this daily Bible reading Jesus answers the question, “Lord, are there just a few being saved?” Jesus said, “Strive to enter by the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and not be able.”   Jesus added in the book of Matthew, "For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it."  I do not think that churches today are…

In this daily Bible reading Jesus mentions 18 people who died when the tower of Siloam fell on them. Jesus said to the people, “Do you suppose that those 18 on whom the tower of Siloam fell and killed them were worse culprits then all the men who live in is Jerusalem? I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” I must never have the attitude that others are worse…

In this daily Bible reading Jesus tells His disciples, “From everyone who has been given much shall much be required.” With increased knowledge and understanding of God’s Word comes more responsibility to be obedient to God and to serve Him.  I think that active believers will become increasingly challenged as their lives progress and their Faith grows. However, with that increased Faith they will be more able to serve God and live according to God’s…

In this daily Bible reading Jesus tells the people that they must not focus on possessions and wealth in this world. Rather they should focus on living according to the Word of God. A person's wealth will not save them. The only thing that will save them is their demonstrated belief and Faith in Jesus Christ. If we truly have Faith in God and Faith in Jesus, we will not worry or be anxious for…

In this daily Bible reading Jesus dines with a Pharisee who is bothered by Jesus not performing ceremonial cleansing. Jesus criticized the Pharisee for focusing on external appearances rather than being good inside. The Pharisee represented religion. Religion is man-made with many rules and traditions that are separate from the Word of God. Religion leads people away from God’s Truth, the Word of God. Additionally, religion appeals to mankind’s superstitious nature. For example, making the…

In this daily Bible reading Jesus tells the multitude, “No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it away in a cellar, nor under a peck measure, but on a lampstand in order that those who enter may see the light.” Jesus will give believers tasks to do in their lives, tasks that will glorify God. These tasks will shed light in darkness. They are not intended to be hidden. We must not be afraid or…

In this daily Bible reading Jesus tells His disciples to “ask,” “seek,” and “knock” with persistence; and God will answer their prayers. The Bible says that we are to pray to God continuously in our daily lives. Our prayers do not need to be long and arduous. They can be short and to the point, keeping God central in our lives. They should remind us of our total reliance on God. The Bible says, “Trust…

In this daily Bible reading Jesus proclaimed the two Commandments that sum up all the Commandments: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” Jesus used the story of the ‘good Samaritan’ to illustrate how to be a good neighbor. The  ‘good Samaritan’ was a person who inconvenienced himself to help a…

In this daily Bible reading Jesus said to a person who was listening to Jesus, “Follow Me.’  The person replied, “Permit me first to go bury my father.”  Jesus then said, “Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you go and proclaim everywhere the Kingdom of God.” Jesus’ words indicated that physical death does not totally define death.  There is another kind of death:  Spiritual death.  One can be physically alive…

I believe God sent Moses and…
