Why is Joseph's story in the Bible?More chapters are written about the young man Joseph in Genesis than about Abraham, Isaac, or Jacob, showing God's emphasis on youth.
Young people chosen by GodJesus started His ministry at around 30, and the first apostles of Christianity were also young men around 33 years old.
The importance of humilityThe most important thing for a young person to remember is to remain humble, because God gives His grace to the humble regardless of age.
God chooses the humble and poorScripture teaches that God often chooses the poor and humble of this world to be rich in faith rather than the proud.
Accepting Christ and dealing with failureAccepting Christ does not mean your life instantly becomes perfect; spiritual growth involves falling and getting up many times.
Being absolutely sure of salvationThe first thing a believer must be sure of is that Christ has forgiven all their past sins and blotted them out completely.
Justified by the blood of ChristBeing justified means God looks at you as though you have never committed a single wrong thing in your entire life.
Overcoming the accuserThe devil constantly accuses believers of past failures, but you overcome him by the blood of Christ and your testimony.

Establishing a routine of prayer and readingUsing your free time as a young person to cultivate daily habits of prayer and scripture reading will strengthen your spiritual life.
Asking God for boldness to witnessIf you ask God to fill you with the Holy Spirit, He will remove your fear and give you the ability to be a witness for Him.
Why God chooses the youngJust like a young plant can be straightened easily while an old tree cannot, young people can be molded and shaped by God.
