Be A Good Christian Teenager/Youth.
We started this yesterday and like we said we have 13
Good steps you should follow and inculcate as a good teen/youth
Here we have from 6 to 10 just like we had 1 to 5 yesterday
Read and digest this and make these part of you.
6. Talk to others about Jesus; you would
be surprised how much one person
can make a difference.
Confronting/arguing with friends and
family about sensitive subjects like
this is a surefire way to make them
feel irritated or uncomfortable. So, be
patient and mindful of their feelings,
avoid topics that are particularly
touchy; pray for them and do not
criticize them directly. Practicing an
idea of what to say in advance is also
a good idea to ensure you're
conveying what you're trying to in a
way that seems non-judgmental and
easier for them to listen to. It's up to
them to receive Christ as their Lord
and Savior, but you can be
supportive.
7. Donate some time, money and
possessions "to others in need of
your help, giving all of your old clothes to
a needy person, family or places like "
Little saint Orphanage, Compassionate Opharnage
and Aged Home etc.
Occasionally, volunteer and do daily,
personal charity of your own. In the
Gospels, Jesus commands: "Love one
another." -- saying "if you have no [such]
love, then you are none of mine."
8. Try to be as natural as possible,
because God made mankind the way
He wanted us, in his image, and wants us
to improve.
God does not want us to try to
change ourselves superficially -- with
things like strange hair dye, body
piercings, and tattoos.
But, if you have done all that and then
come to Christ, use it all to
advantage to reach the people similar
to yourself, who may feel out of place
with the most genteel and proper of
great Christians, who don't get it...
Be well groomed, take care of your
body and carry yourself well in both
posture and confidence. Cleanliness
and neatness also apply to your
clothing, all of this will help you make
a good impression, regardless of your
taste in clothes. Invest a little time in
good skin and hair care daily -- to
enhance your appearance, naturally.
Girls, dress for success, modestly:
that means no mini skirts, short
dresses, low cut tops, sleeveless tops,
and/or short shorts. This isn't as
limiting as you may think, modest
clothes can still match your personal
style quite nicely. Consider visiting a
department store -- with someone
whose tastes in clothing you respect
-- to try new things on and see what
styles and colors look better on you.
Girls, a little makeup can enhance
natural beauty. All you need for daily
wear is a bit of brown or blackish
brown mascara, sheer lip gloss and
blush in a flattering shade. Try
concealer, if you have acne -- or use
powder, if you have oily skin; just be
careful to not overdo it. A little
eyeshadow, eyeliner and natural
lipliner/lipstick are for special
occasions. The key is to enhance, not
overpower, what God has given you.
9. If you have not already, then get
saved: ask Jesus into your heart
(your core being) and ask to receive the
Holy Spirit ; just go to your preacher or
another trusted adult such as a parent,
Sunday school teacher, or even a friend's
parent, and ask one to help you with
getting saved.
Not by work but by receiving the free
gift, "by faith through God's grace";
so that, after you accept God's plan,
then you will actively work and extend
grace, because we "love others as he
first loved us", and also "do good-
works appointed" for each of us, as
you accept and pass that grace
(unmerited favor) on to others, and
because you are justified, and
pardoned freely by God -- for all you
have ever done or do. Realize that
you will get what you plant into your
own life and into the lives of others --
"you'll reap what you sow", in another
way of expressing that.
Follow up being saved: you should
get baptised and live for Jesus,
seeking the best of God's plan, for
whatever you do.
Encourage others to be saved and
baptised.
10. Follow Jesus and The Ten
Commandments all of the time.
Love God! Show it by loving others --
helping those in need. Anybody can
say that they love God, but also show
that you do through actions and
words.
Honor you father and you mother at
all times no matter how hard it may
be. Arguing nicely with them may not
be pleasant, but it comes with being a
teenager and a human. Just make
sure you resolve any conflicts that
arise, take the initiative to do this, if
necessary and try your best to stay
on good terms with them
Do not steal or cheat. Be honest, not
wasting breath or killing time.
Create a Christian website and/or
articles with your notes and other info
like inspiring testimonies and Bible
verses. If you have a Facebook, you
may also consider putting verses
there for your friends to see and talk
about how much God has done for
you.
