What does the Bible say about age?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that every age is lived under God’s wise providence, calling both young and old to faith, holiness, humility, and fruitful service. 1 Timothy 4:12 shows that youth need not prevent godly example, while 1 Timothy 5:1 and Titus 2:1-3 teach respect between generations and the value of older believers passing on sound doctrine. Psalm 90:10 recognizes the brevity and burden of human years after the fall, yet Isaiah 46:4 assures God’s faithful care even to old age. Job 12:12 and Proverbs 20:29 commend the wisdom often gained through years, and Psalm 92:12-14 promises enduring spiritual fruitfulness for those planted in the Lord.
