5.5. Let’s Personalize This Lesson

Are you the same person you were when you were 5 years old? How about when you were 16
years old? How are you different? How are you the same? When did you become a believer?
How did your relationship with Jesus change you? Spend some time reflecting on these
questions. How will your knowledge about the human lifespan help you counsel others?
