the riches of Scripture memorization

I have always been convinced of the great importance and the great joy of memorizing Scripture. Therefore, I really appreciated John Piper's reflection from Dec. 8th Why Memorize Scripture?
Here are the key points of the blessings / "benefits" of memorizing Scripture:

1) Conformity to Christ

2) Daily Triumph over Sin

3) Daily Triumph over Satan

4) Comfort and Counsel for People You Love

5) Communicating the Gospel to Unbelievers

6) Communion with God in the Enjoyment of His Person and Ways


May we continue to grow by being grounded in God's word!
