Remembering Youth

Ecclesiastes 12:1 - "Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near when you will say, 'I have no delight in them.'”

Survey groups suggest a youth is two and a half times more likely to accept Christ than an adult. The older a person gets, the more their "life script" becomes a part of them. As is commonly said, "Old habits are hard to break." There is a certain familiarity in doing the same thing, day in and day out, even if there is a lack of peace, grief, and/or sadness.

God can save a person at any age without a doubt. While nothing is impossible with God, it is imperative that we reach out to the youth of our nations while they are still young. The relativity of our Post-modern world has lulled young people into a place of non-absolutism. Our greatest gift to these is to live like believers in a world that continues to dismiss Jesus Christ as irrelevant. They will know we are Christians by our love, beloved. That will mean stepping out of our comfort zones and possibly befriending a teenager or young person that has no hope outside of Christ.
