Living Out Scripture meme

I've been tagged by Byron to post "that verse or story of scripture which is important to you, which you find yourself re-visiting time after time".

As Byron said on his post, there are so many passages that I could list. In some ways I have books for 'seasons' - 2 Corinthians is a book I come back to time and time again when I need to be reminded of the comfort that comes from knowing God, whereas Philippians is a book that seemed to chase me for years (in 1997 it seemed that everywhere I turned - uni, church, biblestudy or cell group we were studying it). There are Psalms I love and passages in Deuteronomy about out great God that changed my thinking and continue to challenge me.

But in the end the passage that I turn to time and time again to remind me of who I am, who God is and how I should live is Romans 5:1-11.

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we [1] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith [2] into this grace in which we stand, and we [3] rejoice [4] in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
