“Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Rom. 12:2²And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (Romans 12:2)).

A clean cut from all old connections, companionships, social, political and religious, and a clear and Scriptural start on the road to heaven, in “the paths of righteousness,” along which the Lord Himself leads (Psa. 23:3³He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. (Psalm 23:3)), is the only way of real progress on the heavenly road.

And then to go straight forward, turning neither to the right nor the left but “going by the Book” all the day, and all the way, “following fully,” like Caleb of old, who would not and did not turn aside, not even when the majority were against him and threatened to stone him if he went on with God.
