I am talking about wholesale changes in lifestyles where fear is cast to the wind and submission to God is not held back and the opinions of the world are irrelevant and the heart’s only consuming passion is to know Christ and be more like Him. As Paul said in 3:18, the veil has been lifted and we now have the, 3:17, “liberty” to want God and allow God to make us like Himself. To put all things, even our lives into His hand, and permit Him to take us where the road leads believing with all our hearts that when He cuts the ties to all the idols we cherish for support, affirmation and security, we will be thankful when we arrive through the journey at His particular destination.
