Marking Your Scriptures - colors and themes

As a follow up to my last post, I wanted to add that you can use different colors for different themes in the scriptures.  For example, if you highlight all the scriptures about faith in green, than any time you are reading the scriptures and you see green, you know it is a scripture about faith.

Here is the color code that I use for my scriptures:


The great thing is that you can use whatever colors you want for whatever themes you want.  It is completely up to you!

Here is an example of how the different theme colors look as you highlight scriptures:


You can also use this idea for certain sections of scripture.  For example, there was a section in the book of Revelation that I wanted to differentiate between which branch of the church John was referring to, the reference that is made to Jesus Christ, and the blessing the people would receive if they corrected their problems.  I made a smaller selection of colors and themes for that specific section of scripture:


I believe that colors and themes are a way to more effectively retain the information that we have gleaned from our study of the scriptures.
