Thanks Meghan! And welcome to the website! I see you are progressing quickly. I'm excited to see what God has in store for you as you pursue him in the new year!
Thanks for the encouragement! When I found this website, I could name the number of verses I knew on one hand. It blows my mind that I just crossed the 1000 threshold. Thanks to everyone who is on this journey with me. I am glad that I am not walking this path alone.

This number is a testament to the seven years you have committed to memorizing God's Word. We're all very proud of you and what you've accomplished here on this site, and we look forward to the achievements still to come!
That's great! I didn't realize you were so far into John. It is a challenging book to memorize for sure, but a journey well worth the time. I look forward to hearing you've memorized it!
I am now on chapter 18 of this book, so I've passed through the teaching parts. As I head into the passion narratives, I've noticed that language related to repentance (i.e., "you must repent!") found in the other gospels is missing in John. Instead, one finds discussions about "light" versus "dark," "condemned" versus "not condemned," "having life" versus "not having life," and the consequences of not believing versus believing. So to be sure, the message of repentance still exists in John, but it is subtly woven into John's definition of faith rather than explicitly expressed as it is in the Synoptic Gospels.
