Answer
You have probably heard many preachers and Christian leaders say, "Give
your life to God!"
But what do they mean?
The first step in giving your life to God is accepting Jesus as your
Saviour. When you believe that he died on the cross for your sins
and rose again to conquer death, you become God's child. Once you're
forgiven of your sin, God wants you to love and serve him.
First Timothy 4:12 gives great advice to young people: "Don't let
anyone look down upon you because you are young, but set an example for
the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity."
Kids can set an example of what it looks like to be a true follower of
Jesus. When you "give your life to God," by honouring
him in everything you do, He will use you in ways you could never imagine.
That's the best part: You don't have to come up with a grand and glorious
way to serve God. He will "do something" through you when
you offer Him your life. And His plans are awesome!
