In Numerical Order
1.
No doubt the 1st Commandment is most important.
Yahweh our God, Yahweh is one. And you shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind and with all your strength.
Mark 12:29–31
2.
This might speak of the two kinds of Christians: Spiritual and Unspiritual.
The unspiritual man does not receive the gifts of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one.
1 Corinthians 2:14–15
3.
This may cause you to think of the Holy Trinity, but how about the unholy trinity:
And I saw issuing from the mouth of the Dragon and from the mouth of the Beast and from the mouth of the false prophet, three foul spirits like frogs; for they are devilish spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God Almighty.
Revelation 16:13–14
(Armageddon)
Or how about Satan’s formula: the Lust of the Eyes, the Lust of the Flesh, and the Pride of Life.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world.
1 John 2:16
But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not die. 5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband, and he ate.
Genesis 3:4–6
4.
Could speak about the four types of people and their response to the Word of God.
The seed is the Word of God. The ones along the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, that they may not trust and be saved. And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy; but these have no root, they trust for a while and in time of temptation fall away. And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. And as for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bring forth fruit with patience.
Luke 8:11–15
Formula for remembrance: Path, Rocks, Thorns, and Soil.
Trust for Believe (Pisteuo)

This would most definitely be the five ministries (Dorean Gifts) of Messiah.
And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers.
Ephesians 4:11
Formula: PPATE
6.
May speak of the Father and Son relationship:
Son of God
For to what angel did God ever say, “Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee”?
Or again, “I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son”?
Hebrews 1:5
Lamb of God
The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
John 1:29
Beloved of God
and lo, a voice from heaven, saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
Matthew 3:17
Holy One of God
Ah! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God.
Luke 4:34
Servant of God
The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him.
Acts 3:13
High Priest of God
Therefore he had to be made like his brethren in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make expiation for the sins of the people.
Hebrews 2:17
7.
The number seven speaks of many things.
The seven Spirits of God:
There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots. And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might (Strength and Power), the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.
Isaiah 11:1–3
The seven Churches: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea. Revelation 2–3.
Formula: ESP TSP L
Seven Angels of the seven Churches.
As for the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
Revelation 1:20
The seven Angels who stand before God.
Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
Revelation 8:2
And finally, seven ways to lose your salvation:
Become an apostate
For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they then commit apostasy, since they crucify the Son of God on their own account and hold him up to contempt. For land which has drunk the rain that often falls upon it, and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God. But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed; its end is to be burned.
Hebrews 6:4–8Go back under the law
You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace.
Galatians 5:4Turn back to your old life
For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overpowered, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
2 Peter 2:20Wander from the truth
My brethren, if any one among you wanders from the truth and some one brings him back,...
James 5:19Depart from the Faith by giving heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by giving heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,...
1 Timothy 4:1By merely falling away
and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away. And others are the ones sown among thorns; they are those who hear the word,
Mark 4:17–18Believing the devil’s lie, You will not die
But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not die...
Genesis 3:4

This should bring to mind the nine spiritual Gifts (Charismatic):
- Languages (Tongues)
- Interpretation
- Prophecy
- Utterance of Wisdom
- Utterance of Knowledge
- Powers (Miracles)
- Gifts of Healing
- Discernment of Spirits
- Faith
Formula: I memorize by dividing the gifts into five vocal and four non-vocal.
There are also nine Fruit of the Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace; Goodness, Kindness, Mercy; Gentleness, Faithfulness, and Self Control.
Notice: First three are single syllable, second three are double syllable, and the third three are triple syllable. This makes it easier to memorize.
12.
There are twelve tribes of Israel (Northern and Southern tribes combined): Reuben, Simon, Levi, Judah, Gad, Dan, Asher, Zebulum, Issachar, Naphtali, Joseph (Ephraim and Manasseh), and Benjamin.
The way I memorized the tribes: I memorized the first four, then it was GAD, then ZIN, then BJ.
There are also twelve minor Prophets: Hosea, Haggai, and Habakkuk; Amos, Micah, and Malachi; Joel, Jonah, Obadiah, and Nahum; Zephaniah and Zechariah.
