Favorite Christian verses

Found this thread interesting from www.englishsabla.com. Was posted by a member there:

There was a poll recently among Christians to find their favorite Bible verses. It's an interesting way for non-Christians to get an idea of what is at the center of their religion for most Christians. It's a bit weighted toward Protestants, I suspect, but it's still helpful and interesting.In some ways, Christians and Muslims are close. At the same time, in other ways we are not so close. We should be realistic about both aspects.Here are the results from most popular down, one through ten:

No one comes to the Father except through me".4. Matthew 28:19
