The teenager has just left childhood,

Timothy 3:15). Now is the time to continue or believe in what was
learned.

Adolescence is a stage of suffering,

worthy of treatment. It could be the
figure of the Christian in this world. The treatments have to be
supported until the end. Not wanting to endure it is to resort only
to painkillers. That is why many teenagers fall into the clutches of

this will demand a more rigorous treatment.

THEM: FOR IN DOING THIS THOU SHALT BOTH SAVE THYSELF, AND THEM
WE CAN SAVE US FROM THE DANGER

Many times we are waiting for a Divine intervention to save us,
there are things that are impossible for men (Luke 18:26, 27); But
saving ourselves is in the effort you can put.

They are so accustomed to the

signs, that they forget the purpose
for what they have been put. There are signs everywhere, the best
are in the Bible. The signs are warnings, is what God always does,
very different from what Satan does: accuse. The adolescent
without Christ tends to destroy signals, kicks them, makes fun of
them. Not so in the believer who pretends to forget it, it is impossi-
ble, because God recorded it in your heart (Hebrews 10:16)

We should not expect divine in-

you can do it, he already gave you legs. What he gives us is
strength or encouragement (Philippians 4:13).
