That is indeed vital (and let us make sure we always HAVE it, and not just HAD it. The mind is leaky. We must keep refreshing and replenishing it). But, have we found THE truth? Have we "gone on to perfection" -- to completion? -- right to the heart and core of the matter? "He that loseth his life shall save it" ... "A man must forsake all he has to be my disciple." Have we "lost" our (natural) life, and forsaken all of it? -- total submission, total self-emptying, total yielding, total humility and pridelessness, total devotion, total service, total love, TOTAL "peace with God"? This is what God gently, reasonably, lovingly asks of us. Do we love Him enough to give it? This is what "love" means. Is it worth it? Is eternity worth that much effort and application? Can we give less than all, and safely presume on God's "mercy" -- or that hopefully He will not notice that we are selfishly "keeping back part of the price"?
