Through The Bible: Various Favorite Passages, Part 1

There has been a request for favorite or foundational (to Christianity) Bible Verses to share, be it for a local Sunday School or with the many around the world visitors that might want more out of their Bible reading experience.  I have so many favorites, but not necessarily in order.  The following is Part I of what verses I personally highlight in my Bibles.  I hope you will enjoy the selections.
