Young Men
“I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the Word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one” (1 John 2:14).
This page today is especially for young men, although it certainly applies to young women as well.
How do you measure up, young brother? Are you strong? (Maybe you are strong physically, but how about spiritually?) Does God’s Living Word abide in you? Have you overcome Satan? This is a tremendous challenge, and yet one that is possible to take up and triumph in because of the resources we have in Christ.
Solomon said, “The glory of young men is their strength” (Proverbs 20:29). Again, it is not so much physical strength that counts in our spiritual life. (Not that physical strength isn’t important as well). It is to “be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might” (Ephesians 6:10). This is what matters first and foremost, and this is what will give us power to overcome and to live for the Lord’s glory in a sinful world where everything is against God, Christ, and His followers.
