On our own, we do whatever we want or feel like doing and inevitably end up deeply mired in the world. It is absolutely important that we get to know Christ first to let him become our guiding light. Get to know the Lord to the point of falling in love in him or attaining union with him, you will then develop a razor-sharp conscience and know exactly what you should or should not do and become free from the world and yourself. Jesus said in John 8.31, "If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." This is exactly what happens. Knowing the Lord is like hitting that reset button—you get restored to the condition he wants you to be in. Then you are ready to overcome the world and march triumphantly toward eternity.
