Welcome to The Rapid Pull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications. This is a ministry of striving for eternity.

The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel

We're looking at the statement on social justice and the gospel. You can read this in detail and sign it at statementonsocialjustice .com. This article is article number 13 on the culture. We affirm that some cultures operate on the assumption that are inherently better than those of other cultures because of the biblical truths that inform those worldviews that have produced these distinctive assumptions.

Cultural Distinctives, Divine Revelation, and Sinful Features

Those elements of a given culture that reflect divine revelation should be celebrated and promoted, but the various cultures out of which we have been called all have features that are holy and sinful, and therefore those sinful features should be repudiated for the honor of Christ.

Conversion and Overcoming Cultural Evil by Biblical Truth

We affirm that whatever evil influences to which we have been subjected via our culture can be and must be overcome through conversion and the training of both mind and heart through biblical truth. We deny that individuals and subgroups in any culture are unable, by God's grace, to rise above whatever moral defects or spiritual deficiencies have been engaged or encouraged by their respective cultures.
