The biblical authors are clearly concerned that Christians might ‘forget’ even the most basic truths of the gospel–not in a mental sense, but in a volitive and practical sense. I may mentally remember that Christ died for my sins, but I may not make that truth a vital part of my person and behavior and instead become consumed with guilt and dread. I may mentally remember that God calls me to lead a holy life and warns me of the consequences if I do not, but I may still fail to be concerned about leading a holy life.

It is not difficult in such a world to get a person interested in the message of the gospel; it is terrifically difficult to sustain the interest. Millions of people in our culture make decisions for Christ, but there is a dreadful attrition rate. Many claim to have been born again, but the evidence for mature Christian discipleship is slim. In our kind of culture anything, even news about God, can be sold if it is packaged freshly; but when it loses its novelty, it goes on the garbage heap. There is a great market for religious experience in our world; there is little enthusiasm for the patient acquisition of virtue, little inclination to sign up for a long apprenticeship in what earlier generations of Christians called holiness.

I know of no other single practice in the Christian life more rewarding, practically speaking, than memorizing Scripture. . . . No other single exercise pays greater spiritual dividends! Your prayer life will be strengthened. Your witnessing will be sharper and much more effective. Your attitudes and outlook will begin to change. Your mind will become alert and observant. Your confidence and assurance will be enhanced. Your faith will be solidified.
