“These things command and

in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in
faith, in purity.”
1 Timothy 4:11-12 (KJV)

your youth, but be an

believers in word,
in conduct, in love, in
spirit, in faith, in purity.”
1 Timothy 4:12 (NKJV)
In
Faith
Christians have long been known for their
faith: the faith of the martyrs of the Early Church, the faith of the
Protestant’s during the Inquisition, the faith of the Pilgrims, the faith of
the Amish, the faith of America’s Founding Fathers—they were all known for what
they placed their faith in.
Be an example of the Faith for other
believers, young man. Live in such a way that you won’t be looked down on for
being a young man following Christ.
Scripture says that “whatever is not of
faith is sin (Rom. 13:23 KJV).” May you have faith!
Live
the faith! Don’t let your lack of faith discredit you!
