I have written unto you, fathers, because you have known Him that is from the beginning. 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 KJV biblestudytools.com) Believers of all stages of spiritual development have a purpose in the family of GOD. Apostle John wrote letters to encourage fellow followers. The strength that younger followers have is useful. Physically, those who are young can “get up and go” more easily. Spiritually, those who are young in the faith are energized with zeal (having a passion to learn new things). Young believers are an asset to the kingdom. As children of GOD, young ones live by faith in JESUS, and impact the lives of others. Older followers of JESUS have experience with GOD. As children of GOD, older ones live by faith, and may share their testimonies with younger ones in the faith (tests, trials, and triumphs; and how they overcome through faith in JESUS). Older and younger believers have a purpose in the kingdom of GOD. Continue in The Lord. Grow in Him. In JESUS Name. Amen.
