Yes there is a lack of understanding that we are always having to battle with. Since we do not know exactly what He wants for us on a daily basis, when we make all of these little decisions. The tendency is to trust in our deciding rather than to long for the rite things. We would love to think that we are serving Him when we are only serving in a servile older son obedience. So He is concerned with our hearts and the state of our peace. Since He has accomplished every good deed, then He has given us that as our confidence in coming to Him who works all things out according to His will. So we are always in need of an assurance to our faith that He is speaking to us this peace.  He has earned forgiveness by appeasing the Fathers anger against every sin that we commit, and we are always in need of knowing that forgiveness by His grace. If we go too fast in our remembrance then we will have a servile older son obedience. Because He speaks peace in the Spirit of grace, and He is always applying His work to our hearts in that Spirit through His word. So that we grow to love our sovereign Lord, who protects our hearts from a servile fear. He would never force us to obey. So that if we grow impatient then we need a communication of His love to us through that forgiveness through His grace. It is through the Spirit of freedom that we come to any knowledge of His gracious communications. If the Spirit has made -(the only spiritual work on our hearts) you free, you shall be free indeed. So that if we do not know His freedom then we really do not understand His grace and we will serve Him in a servile conviction. The only other option we have is to try to fake it. If we fall in love with Jesus , everything else will fall in place.
