GOD CALLS FOR YOUTH TO REPENT

"All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God:" - Romans 3:23.

"And the Lord smelled a sweet savor; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth:" - Genesis 8:21.

THE LUSTS OF THIS WORLD ARE:

"Flee also youthful lusts; but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart." - 2 Timothy 2:22.

"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these, adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of the which i tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." - Galatians 5:1, 9-20.

REPENT AS DID DAVID

"Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions." - Psalm 25:7.

"For the time past of our life ... when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revelings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: who shall account to him that is ready to judge" - 1 Peter 4:3,4.

MATURE IN JESUS CHRIST

"Honour thy father and thy mother. And he said, And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up." - Luke 18:20b,21.

!And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man." - Luke 2:52.
