Sorry to hijack, but I have to respond...
I agree that satisfaction in ignorace will not meet eternal approval. I should have added the additional requirement that we always seek to find out what "right" is. The problem is that we all "see through a glass darkly" and thus many end up at different answers. I think we agree that the differences in sincerely-sought answers aren't all that important.
The part of this that does relate to your point is that there is a subtle change that occurs in your heart each time you submit your natural tendencies to something above you that you believe is good and right, and I think this is a blessing of obedience.
