What Does It Mean To Be A Christian Teen in Today’s World?


In today's world, it's hard to know what to do with our lives as a Christian. We are constantly bombarded with the stereotypes that the world throws at us until we don't know any longer what is morally right or wrong. With all the crazy standards the world has set up for us, it's difficult to know which is God's way and which is the world's.

Here are some combined pointers from a teen study Bible and us about what it means to be a Christian teen:

1) A Christian teen knows what they want. They realize that because God designed them, only He can make them complete and their life full, and only He can make them truly happy. (John 10:10)  

2) A Christian teen guards their mind.  They avoid damaging images, lyrics, etc. from today’s media, and fill their thoughts with what is pure and righteous before God.  (Philippians 4:8)

3) A Christian teen is willing to wait. They value their sexual purity, realizing that God’s plan is the only one that will keep them physically, mentally, and spiritually healthy.  They also know that God will forgive them for their past, and they may have a new beginning in Him.  (Psalm 1:1-3)

4) A Christian teen has genuine beauty/looks. They understand that inner beauty is more important than outward looks. It is ok to take care of yourself and present yourself  in a good manner, however, it should not be the main focus of your life.  (Proverbs 31:30)

5) A Christian teen is true to him/herself. They develop qualities of genuine character, such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23)

6) A Christian teen looks for leaders. They recognize leaders that follow God, both in the Bible and  in the  church and community. (Hebrews 13:7)

7) A Christian teen knows their worth. They know that their personal value is based on who they are  in Christ, rather than who the world says they should be. (Psalm 139:13-16)

8) A Christian teen’s first love is Jesus. They know that only Jesus can love them with the sincerity, passion, and deep love that can change how they live their life. (1 John 3:1)

9) A Christian teen is a person of the Word and not the world. They stay connected to God through reading the Bible and stay rooted deep into Christ rather than the media. (Colossians 2:6-7)

10) A Christian teen gives away their faith and does not keep it  locked on the  inside. They understand that the secret to eternal life is Jesus; they share the knowledge of the saving grace of Jesus Christ with others. (Galatians 6:9)

11) A Christian teen knows they are never alone. They seek fellowship with other Christians, and help each other in their daily walk with Christ. (Romans 12:4-5)

12) A Christian teen makes a statement.  They show that they are Christians  not through what they say or do -but by who they are and how they live. (Matthew 10:39)

 And don’t forget, a Christian teen knows that they can be forgiven from their sins, big or small.  After repenting, they are free from guilt, because their sins have been washed away by the blood of the Lamb.  (Romans 6:14)
