The soul-life which once rebelled against God's will is now brought into full submission to His will through the work of the cross and is willing to do His will wholeheartedly. Now we are doing God's will from the soul, which means carrying out His will practically and wholeheartedly. Ephesians 6:6 says more or less the same thing: "As slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul." No longer do we do God's will by the soul, which is self-assurance. Indeed, "Perfect submission, perfect delight," and "Perfect submission, all is at rest". Now we consider God's will as the best and rest in Him. Formerly we were filled with our own thoughts and had many cravings and ambitions. Now we are like a weaned child, who rests in his mother's bosom.
Formerly there were constant sorrow and frustration.
