Good evening friends of steemit today I will talk about the youth and the aspects in Christianity.
2 Timothy 4:12
The second epistle of Timothy, the last epistle written by Paul, was written and sent from the prison of Rome, where he was awaiting execution. Timothy, was a young man who was of Greek father and of Hebrew mother, and soon it would become under the ministry of Pablo who on the other hand got to be the pastor of the church of Éfeso.
The Epistle was written between a period of 65-67 AD. It can not be more recent since it was the last letter of Paul who in turn died in the year 67 of our era. Paul wrote to Timothy, encouraging him to rush to Rome for a last visit with him (4: 9, 21), there is no evidence whether he did it or not before his execution, although seeing Timothy's faithfulness to the apostle Paul certainly did, and in the letter he mentions that all abandoned them, others were busy in their ministry, only Luke was with him and he entrusted Timothy that when he arrived in Rome, he would bring Marcos with him.
In this passage we will centralize in a youth passage from the apostle to the young pastor, who leaves us many teachings in all his letters but in these to young Timothy, we often see very juvenile and doctrinal issues. Read carefully the aspects entrusted by the apostle
Young Christians, born of new ones, are examples in six aspects:
In word (Eph 4:29)
Paul told this to the young pastor of Ephesus, Timothy, to be exemplary in word, in his way of speaking, communicating and expressing himself. Being young today is a bit difficult, not because Jesus Christ does not want to deal with them, but sin is totally free and the world has adopted new ways to present sin, among the unbelieving cults and uncultured the uttering of profane words is normal, (the culture between countries) and communicate well is the right thing; for the children of God, the vocabulary is not the same as that of the world, it differs in this, out of its mouth come edifying words, of blessing so that by means of this enormous action the others marvel when they see the reflection of Christ is their mouth, How would Christ speak in our era? It would be the same, why would not we differentiate them like Jesus, if he has given you the Holy Spirit so that we can speak words of edification, that do not make others feel bad on the contrary give them encouragement. That way everyone will marvel at what you expressed before and what they say today, a respectful and totally gracious vocabulary in God.
Conduct (Prv 20:11)
The proverb says that the boy will be known for his behavior, if he was clean and straight, Paul said "they are read letters" the eyes of the world are expectant before Christians, some to criticize and some out of curiosity, others for the happiness of their testimony , but for whatever reason our conduct must be clean, without blemish, I always say this is my preaching:
"The Christian is the same inside and outside the church"
Remember that the eyes of God are placed on us, it is omnipresent, since it is like this we have fear of the Creator, we do not do works of justice to be saved but because we are already saved, so that, we reflect the character of Christ in all the parts where we are We are light, let us ask the Holy Spirit for help in our daily life.
Love (1 John 4: 7-8)
Love is a fruit of the Spirit so important (1 Co. 13:13), God by nature is love, gives love, is the source of love, that is why everyone who loves is born of God, comes from him and he has known him; It is too much for us to pretend to practice and pretend a feigned holiness, if you do not love your neighbor, you are not practicing the commandments of God, if I do not love you I can not say that I am a son of God because I do not love my brother; show that the love of Christ abounds in your heart, you look at the mistakes of others, love it and present it to the giver of life, Jesus Christ and give him a word of love and not of judgment. Let love fill you, win the battle of hatred and resentment against someone, and so you will make God bless you and shine his face on you.
Spirit (Gal 5: 16-17)
Walk in the Spirit does not exactly mean that you will walk all the time speaking in tongues or prophesying, at any time God can use you in the nine or more gifts at any time but walk in the Spirit means walking under the direction of the will of the Spirit Holy, under the fear of God, do not walk in the flesh, which is all that opposes the will of God, sin, but every day that we get up and go to bed always walk with our minds set on Christ, who now I would behave as Christ behaved today. Sin and temptation are present every day; the will of the Holy Spirit and sin have a constant struggle in your life; Feed the Spirit with your holiness, consecrating yourself to God wherever you are.
Faith (1 Tim 6:12)
The gospel is a battle we have constantly and can only be won with faith in the Son of God, laying hands on salvation, and the key to this life in faith. We were not made for misfortune but for being blessed, full of joy, practicing the true life in the gospel, professing faith in a living God, in your studies reflects that you do it in the name of God, in your work, in your family, in every part of your life you militate in the army of the Lord. You have already made an admirable declaration of Faith by considering yourself a Christian, born again in your everyday life, and continuing to profess it.
Purity (2 Ti 2:22)
It says to flee from the youth passions (obviously mundane) that go against the will of God, purity is not only sexuality, which undoubtedly has a lot to do, but also has to do with your vocabulary, your way of acting and your way of being, with a pure heart, clean of sin, to worship the King of kings. If at this time you do not have a girlfriend or boyfriend (in the case of the ladies) and someone is tempted with a sexual adventure, I just want sex and then there is nothing else and for pleasure you want to give in, do not do it! Love is more than just that, in addition sex-coital relations before the bible are only allowed in marriage otherwise they become fornication. Keep yourself pure, I do not tell you that you do not have a girlfriend but in a holy way and respecting yourself, I will teach you with the help of the Holy Spirit on these issues, otherwise consecrate yourself to God in the midst of this wicked and clean generation of all the garbage of the world Remember that you are in it but you are not part of the world
Dedicate all your youth in a holy and clean way before God, who sees everything, be it good or evil. These six Christian values try to fulfill them and you will see the blessing of Christ on your life, so that the world sees that being a Christian is not only for the "old people" but for the youth.
The Lord is preparing a revival in youth, filled with the Holy Spirit, to use them as instruments of honor and wants to give them the forgiveness of sins and redemption through the blood of Jesus. Be devoted to God and will do wonders in your life
