The matured people that know exactly who is God in his life, will follow the right thing . It is better to be wild and free at the age of youth, than at the age of maturity.
WHY?
—Because there is a big question if you sin at the age of maturity. You are matured enough but why are you still violating the law?
Are you like child that cannot even understand the law? Do you have mental disorder to consider your ignorance???
Children and youths have many times to fail, do bad things, and even live in their stupidity, ignorance, and lack of discipline... But still they were forgiven, right? because they were not matured to understand the laws or the nature of true maturity...
Have you encountered a child doing something wrong, then instead to punish the child you forgive them and teach them a lesson not to do it again, and thinking they might change when they grow up
This mean, before the maturity, young people tend to enjoy their self, do what they love to do, because it is a freedom. However, they must still remember the Creator in their life... during this age, they are not fully matured, some of them find difficulties to manage their self, that's why they cannot control their emotions. And that's why, they needed guidance not, proper orientation, advices, and care. But if you let them alone, instead of giving them guidance, proper way of how to deal with their self... Eventually, you let them grow worse individual in the society except those youth who have self-control or have good influencers like family, friends etc. Teenagers need guidance and support, because during the state of their age, they have complicated mentality and emotion.
... At the age of maturity, people must come to God and follow the laws because they are matured enough to understand it. Unlike children even how much you lectured them repeatedly they couldn't understand it easily
But remember, if you are matured, you must influence children, to encourage them to attend church. And pray and to make them believe that there is God.
Even teenagers need encouragement and influence by matured people in both spiritual and emotional, mentality.
And of course, we need spiritual growth from the moment we were born, but ideally, people who are matured must attend church, fortified belief, strengthen faith, and make pray as a habit.
Some people misunderstood, that when they were at age of youth they were active participating religious activities, then at age of adult, even praying they can't perform seriously because they were busy enough to pray longer than a minute, or maybe they were shy if someone saw them they were praying for too long in their private room (but there are people who don't want to be disturbed that's why it is better to pray alone, and no people could interrupt them).
When people luckily or blessed to reach the maturity age, they thought they were strong enough to face reality.
That's a great lie that evil is whispering you, do not believe that if you are matured you are fully armored just because you are too active during your youth time, instead, you have to continue strengthen your spiritual growth. Pray as many as you can, even in your mind.
