1 John 3:6-10 - Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

Youth In Action - Jeremiah
- Jeremiah, the great “weeping prophet,” is one of the more remarkable characters of the Old Testament.
- He sought so desperately to bring rebellious Judah back into conformity with the law of God.
- He began his ministry in the thirteenth year of Josiah (Jeremiah 1:2) (early 20’s)(626 B.C.) and concluded his work among his people when the Babylonian force destroyed the temple in 586 B.C.
- But he prophesied periodically even after the fall of the holy city.
- It is possible that his preaching career spanned some sixty years or more (see Jackson, 7). This suggests that Jeremiah was probably in his late teens when he was called of the Lord to be his prophet to the wicked nation. God can use a youth of faith. -- Notes--
