Ecclesiastes 11:9- Young Man, it's wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do; take it all in. But remember that you must give an account to God for everything you do.

Enjoy life, but stay within God's guidlines. God will hold us accountable for everything we do, and who want's to explain ungodliness to a holy God on the day if Judgement!? Matthew 16-26-How do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul in the process!? Is anything worth more than your soul!?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
If our choices are guided by desire to gain the world, then we are probably going to make some very bad decisions. Galations 5:22-23- When the holy spirit controls your life, he will produce this kind of fruit in you; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness goodness, gentleness, faithfullness and self control, here there is no conflict with the law.

Godly character all of the fruit of the spirit, and when you give him your heart and soul, you will have these qualities... Romans 3:23-24- All have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious standard. Yet now God in his gracious kindness declares us not guilty, he has done this through Crist Jesus, who has freed us by washing away our sins.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Because of our sinful nature, there are times when we fall away from God. Yet once we've idenified and confessed our sin, God is faithful to forgive us. There is no sin so great that we cannot come back to God.
1 Timothy 4:12- Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Godly character is simply a reflection of who we are. No matter who you are, or what you look like, you can set a Godly example, because people are affected by the things we do, so do things that please God. Luke 11:34- Your eye is a lamp for your body. A pure eyes lets sunshine into your soul. But an evil eye shuts out the light and plunges you into darkness.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When sin is allowed to take up room in your heart in mind, it tends to consume our thoughts, and the light of God is pushed aside. John 14:6- Jesus told him "I am the way, the truth, and the the life. No one can come to the father except through me."

Jesus is the only way to heaven. We may want to buy ourselves in, work our way in, or think our way in. But the bible is clear- Jesus Christ provides the only way in. |
