Here are seven Bible verses relating to Judas Iscariot. John 6:70-71 “Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the Twelve? And yet one of you is a devil.” He spoke of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the Twelve, was going to betray him.” Christians should understand that they didn’t choose Christ but that He chose them. That’s what the Apostle John wrote in John 6:44 where he said, “No one can come to me... Read more

Romans 1:1-2 “Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures.” Paul tells us all upfront just who did the calling and it wasn’t him. He became a servant, or as the Greek says, a slave for Jesus Christ. He was called, not by a church, but by... Read more
Here are seven Bible verses specifically about the Apostle Peter. Acts 5:28-29 “We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.

Here are seven of the top Bible verses about Moses. Numbers 12:3 “Now the man Moses was very meek, more than all people who were on the face of the earth.” When Moses was said to be the meekest man on earth, it didn’t mean he was the weakest man on earth.
