“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” – Proverbs 22:6 Or, this could be for you. The Bible says, "Be followers of God as dear children" (Ephesians 5:1). Oftentimes, being ignorant is not favorable: but to walk with God, this is what we should become, understanding that we need to be LED by him in this dark, evil, deceitful world that rejects God.
In fact, in us realizing that we need to become abased like that of a little child for the cause of righteousness and truth, one becomes the greatest in the kingdom of heaven: for the Bible says,
Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3-4
It takes humility to acknowledge and receive, "I've been doing things wrong, and if God doesn't come into my life and help me, I'm going to end this way -- in my sins." It takes humility to admit that we need to change. Therefore, there is joy, jubilance, and rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents. "Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents" (Luke 15:10). Humility is a great feat.
