If you want to make a difference, you need to remember that it isn't just about going to church or reading the Bible, it's about more.Every single day you can make a difference by living a Christian life.There are many ways to give back as a Christian youth.
Step 1: It's a good idea to be an example for other youth.
You should lead by example as a Christian youth.Following Christian teachings is what that means.The goodness of God should be reflected in everything you do.Positive vibes, smile, and do good works.Don't speak behind other people's backs.Be kind to people who aren't popular.Love your neighbor as yourself.Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk.Be a leader.Don't laugh at sinners.Just walk away.Try to get people to stop doing it.You should intervene if you see bullied people.You should be the only person at your school who doesn't like gossip.Don't drink, smoke, party, cheat on tests, gossip, or engage in other negative behaviors.Someone should spend Friday night on their knees in prayer rather than partying.
Step 2: Be kind to each other and be patient.
If people can't tell you're a Christian because of your actions and words, that's wrong.You have to live with the right attitude.Be willing to help others even if it costs you.During his time on Earth, Jesus gave this fundamental commandment.It's important to love others as you love yourself.If you want to treat others as you would your own brothers and sisters, don't let ego and status stop you.Don't be overly focused.Love all people of all religions and orientations.Don't speak about things that are not appropriate.If you are making dirty jokes, you can't make a difference.You should be respectful, honorable, and pure.Every day at work or school, set an example of Christianity.When interacting with non-Christians, be kind, patient, and respectful.
Step 3: Reach out to people who are not welcome.
Jesus showed love to people who were treated badly.In the good times and the bad, never give up on someone or God.There are islands in school.There are people who only hang out with certain people because they don't know anyone else.Everyone does it.To be a bridge, you need to step out of your comfort zone.You can be friends with someone who sits alone at lunch.You could listen to them.The first step in leading someone to Christ is building a personal relationship.A way to spread faith is to plant seeds and allow the Holy spirit to take root.You have the relationships with the people around you already and you can be the one who encourages them, offers prayers, and lives out the Bible so as to be an example of God's love and grace.Everyone should be treated as equal.All people are God's creation and deserve a chance to be understood, no matter their status in life or profession.
Step 4: It is possible to take rejection or loss with grace.
You should be happy to do good things.It can be more difficult to show a positive attitude when you are rejected.Don't freak out when confronted with your beliefs.Everyone has a different story as to how they became a Christian, whether it was a dramatic conversion or they just grew up in it, but it's your firsthand account.If people ridicule you for your beliefs, tell them why.The other cheek should be turned.Show forgiveness and love if someone is rude to you.A Christian trait is forgiveness.We are all sinners and struggle at times.Don't let that affect you.You can find a way to forgive someone if they hurt you.Pick yourself up and try again after you fall.How many times you stand up is what matters to God.It's important to grow in a positive way.You are unique because of your gifts, talents, strengths, weaknesses, likes and dislikes.Positive aspects of your personality can be improved.
Step 5: Don't give up studying your faith.
As you get older, keep studying and learning about your faith.Adults still work on the tough questions.The youth group has a heart that wants to learn.There will be a change in your group.Step out of your comfort zone when you start answering questions.People will step out of their comfort zone once you do.spouting verse is good, but understanding the deeper meaning behind it all, how it fits into the entire narrative of the Bible is more important.It's difficult for others to see the positive change caused by your faith if you don't show the same love to others.
Step 6: The bible should be read.
It's possible to read a scripture a day.Guidelines are provided by God's word, which is vital to a Christian life.You could also watch videos on the internet about your faith.Ask questions.You will not know everything.Many Christians have studied faith for their entire lives, but still don't know everything.When reading Christian teachings, historical context, language, translation, context or meaning can be important.Show respect to older religious teachers, such as a pastor or priest.They can help you learn more about your faith.If you want to keep involved in a Bible study, you need to involve kids your age.This will help you learn and relate to the Bible more than just attending worship services.
Step 7: Pray for me.
You can start by saying to God, "I do not know what to do, but I have this desire in my heart to make a difference."He loves to listen.If you start a prayer journal, you can remember what you prayed for and see how God answered your prayers.Don't forget to pray for others as well.Ask your parents if they can drive you to church as much as you can.Before you go to bed and eat, memorize some important prayers.Take a break and think about God, what are you thankful for, and what you could improve on.Through prayer, ask God what to do.God knows your strengths and weaknesses and he knows what you can do to make a difference.Don't let your age or comfort zones stop you from doing what God calls you to do.
Step 8: Help someone in need.
You could start out by donating your allowance or collecting spare change.Help collect donations for a worthy cause.Give whatever you can to a good cause.You could donate online.There are many organizations that cater to the needs of less fortunate people all across the world, as well as teach them about Christ, if you join or help a cause that revolves around helping people know about God and His Word.Maybe you do car washes or lemonade stands.Sell your books.It isn't always how much you donate that counts.It is the fact you are giving most or all of what you have that matters.
Step 9: Become a member of a youth group or mission.
You can give back by getting involved with group activities associated with your church.Whether they are around the world, national, or local, try to get involved in your local church's mission trips.You can bring the idea to the congregation if your church doesn't have these types of trips.Give 10% of your money to your church, or donate some of the stuff you don't use anymore.You can invite your friends to church or youth group.Don't act like a youth group is boring, and treat it with respect.Dedicate yourself to God and give what you can to the group.If it's allowed, you could join a Christian club at your school.You could go on a mission trip to a local college or high school and help out staff with some church friends and talk about Jesus to anyone willing to listen.
Step 10: Open up about your faith and principles.
This may be very difficult at times.It's possible that you are the only Christian youth around who is open about faith.Stand up.You should develop your relationship with Christ.Get out and interact with people.The Christian youth are ambassadors.You need to interact with people in order to change their minds.You should be as outward as possible about your faith.You could wear shirts that make people talk.Stand up for what you believe in.It is possible to do this in a way that sounds positive.You should be willing to stand up for what you believe in.You should be a witness to what God has done for you.A lot of young people have no faith in God.You are making a difference by walking proof that the word has something to offer.
Step 11: Volunteer to give back.
You can help the homeless, take care of an elderly or disabled person, or work at an animal shelter.You can help at your church, school, and home as well.Being a positive force in your environment can be used to give back.If you can, help classmates with their schoolwork.You can help organize blood drives.Help your church.Just give up your time to help your church.It could be as simple as keeping the door open.You can offer to clean up after the services.
Step 12: If you think your faith will help others, you should share it.
This does not mean that you push your beliefs on others.If someone asks you about what keeps you strong, gently tell them you believe in God so that they can help others with theirs.Talk to your youth minister about opportunities to share your story, and where you can help within the church.If you are happy and friendly, and don't force anything down anyone's throat, it can sometimes be enough to let people know you're a Christian.If you see that a person is struggling and receptive to the message, it is a good idea to let more people know that God is with them.Being a Christian isn't about beating out other religions.Christianity is peaceful and loving.You can't change the people around you by shoving a Bible down their throats.If you want to show how Christianity has made you a better person, be nice to everyone.
