Understanding AY Legion of Honor and its Principles
The AY Legion of Honor, introduced in 1953, emphasizes honoring Christ in various aspects of life such as what we choose to behold, listen to, where we go, our associates, what we speak, and how we care for our body temple. This concept aligns with the teachings from Proverbs 4:23 and Ellen G. White's messages to the youth for a purposeful and meaningful life dedicated to serving God.
