25 Bible Verses About Youth To Guide Their Future

Introduction

I remember back in my long hair days that it was tough at times to get people to take you seriously as a young person. I want to be the type of person that uses what He has learned over the years to help young people to grow into all that God has for them.

So although I realize that the age-old axiom for youth about never trusting anyone over 30 may hinder what I am about to do,

I hope that these Bible verses about youth will encourage and inspire the younger members of the Viral Believer audience to aspire to be all that God has created them to be and take the baton in our history of faith and reach this world for Jesus.

Christian Quotes About Youth

When I was young, I was sure of many things; now there are only two things of which I am sure: one is, that I am a miserable sinner; and the other, that Christ is an all-sufficient Saviour. He is well-taught who learns these two lessons. John Newton

No one warns young people to follow Adam’s example. He waited till God saw his need. Then God made Adam sleep, prepared for his mate, and brought her to him. We need more of this ‘being asleep’ in the will of God. Then we can receive what He brings us in His own time, if at all. Instead we are set as blood-hounds after a partner, considering everyone we see until our minds are so concerned with the sex problem that we can talk of nothing else when bull-session time comes around. It is true that a fellow cannot ignore women—but he can think of them as he ought—as sisters, not as sparring partners. Diary entry when he was still single – Jim Elliot

God might want you to extend his love by offering to baby-sit for the single parent down the street. He might want you to prepare a hearty meal for that lonely old man who lost his wife — and to sit and visit with him while he eats. Who knows, he might even want you to reach out and touch the life of a total stranger in some way you can’t imagine right now. Are you willing to set aside your own comfort to touch someone else with God’s love? – Amy Nappa

When I was young I was sure of everything; in a few years, having been mistaken a thousand times, I was not half so sure of most things as I was before; at present, I am hardly sure of anything but what God has revealed to me. – John Wesley
