1 John 2:14 – I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.
What a dynamic scripture!
In today’s culture, where sin runs so incredibly rampant, one might assume it would be difficult for young people to stay strong in their walk with God. How do they successfully overcome the wicked one?
1 John 2:14 indicates that youth CAN stay strong and live a victorious Christian life by ABIDING in the Word of God!
“How can a young person live a clean life? By carefully reading the map of Your Word.” –Psalm 119:9 (MSG)
Make a habit of keeping your Bible near. Become familiar with it! Find Jesus inside its pages! Discover what He loves as well as what He hates.
If you’re trying to stay afloat while your peers are drowning in the moral evil of our nation, take heart! Pull close the word of God and allow the Holy Spirit to cultivate in you a heart to love and obey it! Before long, you’ll be swimming with more strength, fortitude, and perseverance than ever before!
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
