Bible Verses About Youth Serving God

Dear friends, today I want to share with you the importance of youth in serving God and why. If you like this content, then definitely share it with others.

God actually wants us to give time to Him during our youth. The energy and passion with which we can do God’s work and inspire others during this youth is not possible later in life. Therefore, we should give time to God during this youth to serve Him. When we go to God at this time, we find the purpose and path of our life, because this is the right time to make decisions in life.

You know, I myself started going to church when I was young. But to be honest, at first I thought it was for the old people. We young people just sat and sang.

But gradually I realized how big a responsibility our young people actually have in God’s work. With the energy and enthusiasm we have, we can do a lot. Not only for ourselves, but for the entire society.

Think about it, what happens when we serve God? We ourselves change. Love, kindness, justice – these qualities grow in us. And with that, the people around us also change.

Let me tell you another thing – look in the Bible, how many young people have come forward in God’s work. Take the story of David. A small boy, but he defeated a giant like Goliath. Why? Because he had unwavering faith in God.

So I say to you, brothers and sisters, you who are still young, come forward in God’s work. You will see, you will find a lot of peace in your own life, and you will be able to help others too.
