10 Things young people can do for God. (1) OBEY THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST Christ commands us to believe in Him (John 8:24), to repent of our sins (Acts 2:38), to confess His name (Matthew 10:32-33), and to be baptized into Him for the remission of our sins (Romans 6:3-6). , (2) KEEP THYSELF PURE (I Timothy 5:22) If you like a real challenge, the challenge of conquering our own will is lifes greatest, for sin is easy. Besides the personal satisfaction that moral purity brings, it brings also the blessings of God (Matthew 5:8). (3) BUILD A CHRISTIAN PERSONALITY True greatness is in spiritual things. Emphasize prayer, study, and righteousness, and they will bless you. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul (Matthew 16:26). Those who follow Christ learn how to do good unto all men, even their enemies. Their lives radiate the beauty of his way (Matthew 5:14-16). Christianity brings peace with God, peace with others, and peace within. 4) LEAD OTHERS TO CHRIST Christ has commanded His disciples to take the gospel to everyone. You can be a soul-winner. And nothing enlarges ones faith and spiritual capacity like teaching the lost. (5) GET A CHRISTIAN EDUCATION You CAN get a Christian education if you really want to. Your doing so will help you in a thousand ways. A Christian college education will help you to be the best and most productive citizen possible in Gods kingdom. (6) PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A DECENT PROFESSION The New Testament strongly commands honest and honorable work (I Thessalonians 4:11,12). The Christian life is not that of a parasites but one of industry and service. (7) BUILD A CHRISTIAN HOME Next to obeying the gospel of Christ, the greatest favor you will ever do yourself is to build a Christian home. When you marry, MARRY A CHRISTIAN. (8) PREPARE FOR CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP The church needs every competent leader and teacher that it can get. Develop your talents for Christian leadership by the sincere and zealous practice of spiritual responsibilities. Be USEFUL in the Lords service. (9) ENCOURAGE AND HELP OTHERS Everyone bears a burden. When we help bear others burdens and encourage them in Christs walk, we fulfill the law of Christ (Galatians 6:2). (10) BE FAITHFUL THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE (Read Revelations 2:10) Many perils will beset your pathway. Temptations and disappointments came to the Lord and they will also come to you. And all who live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer some persecution (2 Timothy 3:12), but God calls us to a life that man cannot destroy and to treasures that are eternal. He will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). Keep your faith and it will keep you. There is great potential in your life. May God bless you as you develop it in His service
