Lead And FollowSample

My choices are an example for others.

Jesus told us to be the salt and light of the world. That means the examples we set should show others how good God is and what He’s like.

Now that’s a big responsibility! Should you wait until you’re grown up and you know more about God to do it?

No way! The Bible verse 1 Timothy 4:12 says that it doesn’t matter how old you are. Even if you’re young, you can set an example and lead others when you choose words and actions that honor God.
