Church’s prayers and concern for discipleship of children

 

 

Scripture is clear that we should serve God but why serve God is a more complicated question. A common question many teenagers have is why serve God instead of living however they want. I’ve turned to scripture to answer this and there are also some benefits of serving God that are worth being mentioned. Here’s what We found in Our studies.

The first reason you should serve God in your youth is presented in Proverbs. This verse shows that how you are raised, how you behave, and the habits you form in your youth have an influence on who you will be as an adult. This influence can be either positive or negative depending on how you’re living now. When you serve God in your youth, you’re preparing yourself to live righteously as an adult as well.

One last reason you should strive to serve the Lord in your youth is because of the simple joy of serving God. The joy of serving God is not something easily explained, but when you live your life for God He gives you a sense of peace that surpasses all understanding. So another one of the benefits of serving God is with God on your side there’s no need to worry; you can simply find joy in each and every day.
