God wants to do away with our flesh nature entirely, not just the stuff that we don't mind getting rid of. God places much more value on obedience than doing what we think is right. When God brings us to a point where we need to repent, we want to learn to follow David's example of of humility rather than Saul's example of half-hearted qualified repentance. 1 Sam. 15, 2 Sam 12
