The Doctrine of the Keys
The Lord Jesus said in Matthew 16 talking to Peter, He said upon this Rock will I build my church that is the Rock of Peter's confession, that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God. Upon those two titles of the Lord Jesus and the person who bares that name, upon this Rock will I build my church and the gates of hell (hadēs) shall not prevail against it. And I give unto thee Peter the keys of the kingdom of heaven.
Not the key of the kingdom of heaven, Peter doesn't stand at the door of heaven deciding who's going in and who's not going in. But the keys of the kingdom of heaven.
In Acts chapter 2 Peter takes the key, he's the preacher and he lets the Jews in. In Acts chapter 8 Peter takes the key and he goes down to Samaria where Phillip's been preaching and he lets the Samaritans in. Acts chapter 10 he goes to the house of Cornelius, and he lets the Gentiles in.

Choose a verse (or a few verses). For long passages, you should create a 'passage' verse set.
Selection set
Selection verse sets are verses on a certain topic, or designed for a group of people to learn together.
Passage set
Passage verse sets are for a continuous set of verses, like a Psalm or a chapter or part of a chapter.
When you are learning a passage set, you're always presented with the verses in order, and there are lots of tweaks to help you learn it as a passage rather than just a set of verses.
Catechisms are a question/answer method of learning Bible truth. While we don't think they are on a level with the Bible itself, they can be a very useful way of learning the truths the Bible teaches in a systematic way, and they fit well into the system LearnScripture uses for learning verses.
