For Wednesday, August 28, 2024:
1 John 2:13b NLT: “I am writing to you who are young in the faith because you have won your battle with the evil one.”
Here’s the problem: A lot of sin is short-term fun. If it wasn’t fun, nobody would be doing those things. But the reality is that sin is long-term pain, something to be avoided at all costs.
As people become new believers, remember that they’ve been fighting an extreme battle with the evil one. Surviving that encounter is commendable. And winning that battle is cause for celebration! It’s a dividing line in our lives. After Jesus, everything will be different. Everything will be better!
We should celebrate with new believers, and then help them mature. It’s not good for them to remain baby Christians forever. They could become our future leaders who go on to teach truth to many others!
God bless the young in faith and those who mentor them!
