Human society is driven by traditions. The traditions mystify the essence and beauty of being. Traditions bring some kinds of purpose even.
In our socialization, we pass through some societal institutions and numerous traditions that shape our worldview and mold us into the personalities that we exude.
We can contribute meaningfully to societal development because we are part of it and have been shaped by it.
However, we can be valuable members of society without violating the direct commandments of God by societal traditions.
What direct commandments of God can you remember? I remember the command to repent.
“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:”
(Acts 17:30 KJV)
Have you repented of your sins? Society may have taught that repentance is not necessary but, don’t violate that direct commandment of God because of that societal position.
Grave consequences attend to willful violation of God’s commandments, including the commandment to repent.
Please repent today.
