The developmental period from 13 to 19 has been called "adolescence" and "sturm und drang" or "storm and stress." Let's not make light of it; some of life's most important decisions are made during this time. The character of the person is mostly set during this time. For the most part, if he or she is going to be a friend of Jesus Christ, that decision is made before the person reaches the age of 30. There are baptisms after 30, but not many. Wayward Christians are restored, but the ones that are restored mostly were already Christians before 25 or 30. Your choice to follow Jesus needs to happen early. As the wisest man who ever lived said, "Remember also thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them." Ecclesiastes 12: 1.
