Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus! I have been talking about 'freedom' in the last few blogs. Here is even a better way of explaining it from the 'Magnificat'.
He who obeys me dwells in security, in peace, without fear of harm. (Prv 1:33)
What is so new about the promised "mountain of the Lord" is not that the wolf and the lamb are both there, but that the wolf remains a wolf and the lamb a lamb, and yet they dwell together without harm or hurt in God's kingdom. Under God's rule, conversion and obedience do not mean the loss of identity but the discovery of our true identity as one in Christ.
Magnificat
And I would add to that last sentence that it is not only 'the discovery of our true identity as one in Christ' but the fullness of that identity.
