Exemplary Life Good luck to the youth in the name of Lord Jesus Christ. Youth is the most important and dangerous phase of human life. That is why we should be role models for many people at this stage. Whether we want to do good to ten people or do bad to ten people, we can do it at this young age.
That is why, the devout Paul, writing a letter to the young Timothy, wrote: “Do not let anyone despise you because of your youth, but be like the believers in speech, behavior, love, faith, and holiness” (1 Timothy 4:12). Here Paulugaru is writing 5 important things as examples.
The first is “word” .
We bring many people closer by our words. The same – we alienate people by words. It means that our words are the reason for us to stay together or separate as human beings. Not only that, but is a person good? Is he bad? We can recognize that these words are very important. In Matthew 12:36 in the living Bible, the Holy Spirit speaks of judgment based on the word. (Proverbs 10:19 He who shuts his lips is wise, and there is no error in many words.) God’s word says that it is natural to make mistakes because of talking too much, and God’s word also says that we escape according to our words, that is why Paul first warned Timothy to be careful with your words. Therefore, if we speak knowingly as much as possible, we will escape God’s wrath and not come into judgment.
Second is “Behaviour” .
Many young people do not think about their behavior. If you behave like this, you will not think that it is a shame for mom and dad. Whatever they want. This is why many young lives are moving away from God and closer to Satan. What should the actual behavior be? There are no tellers in school or colleges. There are no listeners. What the Bible says about this behavior is “Submit yourself to the authority of God. Then your life will be good”. Psalm 119:9 Why do young people purify their ways? Is it wise to take care of your word? ) It is the scripture of God that the youth shall be cleansed of their ways by Godinforms. It says that their behavior will be good depending on their acceptance of his word. “God?” What’s more, there are people who call themselves God in this age like grandma. No matter what anyone thinks, it is true that children of God, “Until you or I come under the authority of God, we do not know how to act.”
The third is “Love”.
Everyone likes love. The word itself has great power. The meanings of love in this world are different. Love arises only if there is any selfishness. No one can deny this. But, Jesus’ love is not like that. No other scripture has and will ever say more about true love than the Bible. The reason is that Jesus is love. Jesus’ love is the love that loves the same from the time it was formed as a fetus in the mother’s womb, even when it trembles in old age. Immutable love, immutable love. A love that cherishes you forever. Such is the love of God that Timothy writes. (1 John 4: 8. God is love, he who does not love does not know God.) God’s scriptures say that he who does not love does not know God and he who does not love is vain. Beloved, no matter how many languages we have, if we do not have the love of God, we are useless…
The fourth is “faith”.
Faith is complex, difficult. The Bible actually says, “Without faith it is impossible for us to please God.” If you are the God who created you, gave you so much, protected you until now, raised your honor among ten people, and laid down His life for you, if I don’t like you, then what is the use of anyone’s liking? Think once, sisters and brothers. Our ancestors conquered kingdoms by faith. Got the promises. “The mouths of the lions are closed. Fire force is extinguished. They bought Khadgadhara. They were weak and strengthened. He is valiant in battles. • Dislodge the Gentile armies. Paul is writing to Timothy to have such faith.
Fifth is “Holiness”:
A man cannot live holy unto himself. If that happens, there is no impurity. A holy man can make another holy. Since the birth of creation, no human being has been able to say that I am holy, except Jesus Christ. This is for you, this is for him, but he who said, “I have lived as a saint, so live as a saint”. There is no one. But Isaiah said, “Be holy because I am holy.” Therefore let the holiness of Christ dwell in you, Timothy. Paul writes to Timothy.
Dear young people, Paul is not here today. There is no Timothy. But God is alive. Yes, our God is a God who rose from the dead. The same God who led Paul and Timothy that day is ready to lead you and me today. The Holy Spirit who made their lives like that of many that day can make our lives like those of the generations to come. Are you ready for that
