I love the book of John. I can not pin point the verse because the whole book means so much to me. What book or verse has meant alot to you in your life?

Too many! Here's a few...
The entire chapter of Isaiah 53 is just beautiful, and usually moves me to tears.
"Who gave himself a ransom for ALL, to be testified in due time." 1Tim 2:6 This one sums up SO much for me...
"AND I, if I be lifted up from the earth (signifying his death on the cross), WILL DRAW ALL MEN unto me." John 12:32 According to this verse, Jesus says since He was crucified He will draw EVERYONE to Himself.
"And ALL FLESH shall see the salvation of God." Luke 3:6 The word "see" here is the Greek word, transliterated optanomai. It used throughout the scriptures and always refers to physically seeing and experiencing something.
"I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for THE SHEEP. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: THEM ALSO I MUST BRING, and THEY SHALL HEAR MY VOICE; and THERE SHALL BE ONE FOLD AND ONE SHEPHERD." John 10: 14-16 Let me guess, this doesn't mean what it obviously means.
"And he is the propitiation [shelter of mercy] for OUR sins: AND NOT FOR OURS ONLY, but also for the SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD." 1 John 2:2 Propitiation: the turning away of wrath by an offering.
And finally....
"For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, WHO IS the SAVIOUR of ALL MEN, SPECIALLY OF THOSE THAT BELIEVE." 1 Timothy 4:10
I think I will have to say that Matthew 5 is probably my favorite part of the Bible. However, it is very hard to just narrow it down to one.
I think Matthew 5 is where I learned that God will let you draw whatever meaning it is that HE wants you to draw at the time. There was about 2 years where I read it about 4 or 5 times, and EACH time I got something new. It started out being the beatitudes, then the salt of the earth and so on. I seem to get something NEW each time....I LOVE THAT!

I have to agree, for me its John, I had a small book which only had the book of John in it, and I used to take it to work with me, and read it on my lunch break, found something new in it all the time.
"For IF, WHEN WE WERE ENEMIES, WE WERE RECONCILED TO GOD BY THE DEATH OF HIS SON, MUCH MORE, BEING RECONCILED WE SHALL BE SAVED by his life..... Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon ALL MEN to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the FREE GIFT came upon ALL MEN unto justification of life."-- Rom 5:10,18

Mark 9:43-45
If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out.And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.
