(June 2010 Edition)

RATIONALE Purity and chastity has always been one of the values that we as Christians want to uphold. As sons and daughters of God, it is important for all of us to be holy and righteous just as Jesus is. Though this is so, this has been an issue for the youth generation especially because of the fast paced changing lifestyle that they are experiencing today.

RATIONALE (cont.) As Youth for Christ, we always seek to put our name into a lifestyle as we try to live out the 7 YFC ID’s. In all aspects of their lives, the aim should be witnesses of God’s transforming love to the millions of youth who wish to experience the same. One of the identities as Youth for Christ is to live 100% FREE.

WHAT IS 100% FREE? 100% Free is more than just an advocacy. Instead, this is one of our identities as Youth for Christ. This is Youth for Christ’s response to the bigger conviction of Couples for Christ called Pro-Life. “ For freedom Christ set us free; so stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery” (Galatians 5: 1)

Therefore, 100% Free is defined as: a. LIVING IN THE FULLNESS OF LIFE (Promise) This means experiencing the life that we are meant to live as Christians, a life full of joy, love, and freedom. b. BREAKING FROM BONDAGE (Decision) This means removing the chains of sin. This means living your life free from guilt, temptati0n, addiction, pretensions, masks, negativity, bad labels, and insecurities. This means removing all barriers or hindrances from being with God.

c. ADVOCATING LIFE (Conviction) 100% free essentially means living a great life, and this is what we want everyone to know and fight for. 100% free means that every child of God should experience this as well. We pass on this knowledge of freedom and help others to free themselves. Therefore, we, as Youth for Christ, fight the right to live this great life planned by God for us. In other words, we proclaim: BE FREE. BREAK FREE. LIVE FREE.

Our 100% Free Identity stands on THREE basic principles and made firm by EIGHT conviction statements. A. FREE TO LIVE 1. Zero Drugs 2. Smoke Free 3. O% Alcohol B. FREE TO BE 1. Pure Inside Out % Man and Woman 3. Free from Pornography C. FREE TO LOVE 1. Virgin and Proud 2. Real love waits

FREE TO LIVE Free to live stands by the conviction statements that support taking care of our own bodies and lives. It supports the principles that discourage substance abuse that will lead us not only to an unhealthy lifestyle but also to sin. Zero Drugs – YFC says no to substance abuse. Smoke Free – YFC says no to smoking. 0% alcohol - YFC believes that drinking alcohol is not a sin itself but as young as we are, our bodies may not be able to handle and control alcoholic content.

FREE TO BE Free to be stands by the conviction statements that uphold being who we really are, both in name and in essence. This means living out our true selves and who we are made to be. It encourages living out the roles of a man and woman, in accordance to God’s plan. Pure Inside and Out– YFC believes not only in the purity of our bodies but also of purity at our very core. We believe in purity of thought, speech, and action. 100% man and woman –YFC believes that we are designed to be man and woman, in order to live with each other and work together for His purpose. Free from pornography - YFC believes that our bodies are created sacred by God and should not be exploited for selfish pleasure.

FREE TO LOVE Free to love stands by the basic principles of upholding the genuine kind of love that the Lord has given us. This means loving the way that God has taught us, unconditional and unfailing. This means believing in the kind of love that is learned, experienced, and given in God’s time. Virgin and Proud – YFC believes that sex is a sacred gift given by God that is appropriate only after marriage. YFC believes that sex in essence is used for pro-creation. Real Love Waits – Real love is defined as the genuine kind of love that comes as a GIFT from God. Like a gift, it should be made precious; taken cared off, and received in its proper time.
