YouVersion, the most downloaded Bible app in the world, has revealed the top Bible verse of 2025 as its team reflects on a year of record-breaking Bible engagement worldwide.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a statement shared with The Christian Post on Thursday, YouVersion identified Isaiah 41:10 as the most engaged-with Bible verse on its Bible app throughout the year. The verse declares: \u201cSo do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bobby Gruenewald, founder and CEO of YouVersion, shared his views on the popularity of the Bible verse, which has taken the top spot in four of the past six years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this verse keeps rising to the top because it addresses one of our deepest needs, the assurance that we\u2019re not alone,\u201d he said in a statement provided to CP. \u201cIn a world full of anxiety and uncertainty, people are drawn to God\u2019s promise to be with us, to strengthen us, and to help us. That message never gets old because the need for it is universal and timeless.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other top Bible verses from 2025 include Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 12:2. The former Bible verse states, \u201c\u2018For I know the plans I have for you,\u2019 declares the LORD, \u2018plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future,\u2019\u201d while the latter proclaims, \u201cDo not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God\u2019s will is \u2014 his good, pleasing and perfect will.”<\/p>\n

YouVersion, which launched in 2008, surpassed the milestone of 1 billion installs last month. In an interviewwith CP last month, Gruenewald reflected on YouVersion\u2019s success, noting that \u201cWe had absolutely no idea what God was going to do.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYouVersion isn\u2019t powerful,\u201d Gruenewald maintained. \u201cThe power is in the Word of God, and we just try to get it into people\u2019s hands.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Throughout the year, YouVersion broke multiple one-day Bible engagement records. While Jan. 5 marked the top day for both app installs and Bible engagement, this record was surpassed again on Easter Sunday. Nearly 19 million people engaged with Scripture across the YouVersion family of apps on that day, with the top days for guided scripture, prayers created and Bible verses shared recorded during Holy Week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re witnessing a global movement. People are hungry for what\u2019s real and true,\u201d Gruenewald said. \u201cThe Bible stands alone as the source of truth, carefully passed from generation to generation. It\u2019s alive and active, and relevant to our everyday lives. These numbers represent millions of changed lives \u2014 people finding hope, direction and purpose in God\u2019s Word.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Statistics shared by YouVersion revealed a 33% increase in daily Bible engagement in North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia, along with a 27% increase in daily Bible engagement in sub-Saharan Africa and a 14% increase in daily Bible engagement in North America.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe momentum we\u2019re seeing gives us bold faith for 2026 and beyond,\u201d Gruenewald concluded. \u201cWhen people consistently engage with God\u2019s Word, it transforms more than individual lives. There\u2019s a ripple effect in families and communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
