The most commonly encountered class of "religious token" with verses of scripture on them are "communion tokens". These were used in churches (mainly of the Presbyterian / Church of Scotland denomination) where only members were permitted to take communion. As I understand the practice, the pastor would visit the members before the communion service and give out the tokens. On attendance, anyone without a token would be denied entry. The tokens get a brief mention on this Wikipedia page; this website has more information and examples.
However, communion tokens usually carry verses specifically relating to communion eg. "do this in remembrance of me". I don't know if this particular token / medal is part of this series or not.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
