Every individual is expected to be law-abiding in society, that is, to enjoy socio-spiritual immunity for total freedom. There is the need to be morally conscious and disciplined to attain the status of a role model in society for others to emulate.
However, when the virtues are lost, man is vulnerable to shame and disgrace.
To be upright a person must not be wayward and frivolous. This is imperative for the relevance of religion in society and to ensure peace and development.
The Holy Bible, Matthew 5: 20-24, refers,''20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.''
The Holy Quran also corroborates the above, verse by verse with a perfect synergy to prove the oneness and universality of God, whose voice every man must heed.
The Holy Bible Matthew 5: 20, ''20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.'' and the Holy Quran 2: 42 emphasize the need to be a vanguard of truth. '' and cover not truth with falsehood, but we must control our temper, embrace patience as well as tolerance, as a culture to promote unbroken social interactions. In the final analysis, As in Matthew 5: 23-24, ''23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.'',
the message of the Holy Quran 41: 34, refers, ''realize that goodness and evil can never be equal. Repel evil with what is better: Then will he between whom and thee was hatred become as it were thy friend and intimate !''
Let us realize that no good relationship can be established with God except with heed His admonitions, if and only if, we want a better world order. No prayer request from God shall be granted without having a sense of forgiveness, love for neighbors, and pardon for perceived enemies. Let today be a turning point.
This is the only way by which we can realize our freedom on earth the role model virtues to be an exemplar.
