many, many, congratulations to you. As we often say here, those points amassed represent faithful repetition of and meditation on the Word over a period of years. May the Lord bring them back to you at crucial moments.
Have you worked your way through the whole gospel? How have you found it? I just managed that, 6 months ago, although it took me several years to get there! I’ve really appreciated John’s attention to the detail of Jesus’ teaching, and the way that some characters, like Nicodemus, recur through the gospel. Now I find a section of John in my review queue most days. It will take a loooong time, if ever, before it’s all ‘fully learned’!
I’m finding it’s good to take it slowly, and to consider the book as a whole. The author circles round the same themes several times, so you find verses in one chapter that shadow or foreshadow a similar section in another chapter.
Good to see and may the Lord bless your study and memorisation. In my church we have a weekly Bible Study that is slowly going through Hebrews. We are just about to start Hebrews 3, but that has taken several weeks, to get that far.

congratulations on persisting with Hebrews and reaching chapter 7. I tried Hebrews several years ago, and got bogged down somewhere around chapters 7 and 8. I'm believing that you will do better :)
Thanks for asking. Back in late 2024 I started from John 18; I'm currently adding new verses from John 20:19-30. I'm also working on John 1, 2 and 14 (I'm doing a reset of John). When it appears in the feed that I've started learning something, it can be misleading, because some sets I made public, and I start them from my spreadsheet link and also before they are really due. I do that partially believing (and hoping) that it's an edifying thing to appear in the newsfeed.
I too find Psalm 27 very encouraging- not just v13&14, but also v4 “One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.” And the gospel of John is a great project! I have just finished it - ie I now have all the chapters started here in LearnScripture. It’s taken several years, on and off, to add the whole gospel, and I’m sure it will take many more years (if ever!) to get it all ticked off as ‘completed’. But it’s a great blessing to study / memorise slowly. May God bless you in your own journey with John.
