The Bible offers not just a set of rules but a moral compass guided by the life and teachings of Jesus. Romans 12:2 (NIV) urges believers, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
He exemplified how to live righteously, not through adherence to rules but through a relationship with God, characterised by love for one another. The older you get, the life experience you have gained will often help as you may have made wrong choices and only now realise why.
Navigating the terrain of moral choices between right and wrong requires prayer, wisdom, and a community of faith for support and guidance. In doing so, we witness the Gospel's power, which illuminates the path of right over wrong.
