Sin can defile Many

Hebrews 12:15

looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;

Sin – Forgiveness from God

Psalm 130:4

But there is forgiveness with You,
 That You may be feared.

Sin – it is in Christ’s name

1 John 2:12

I write to you, little children,
  Because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake.

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. —

How do you command the respect of others when you are young? You don't! You earn that respect by the character and quality of your life. Those of us who are older must recognize and validate younger Christians who are people of character and faith. Those of us who are younger, need to live a life of character that cannot be questioned. Character, morality, faith, and loving kindness are essential attributes of the Christian, no matter his or her age.
