A Call for Total Allegiance
Commentators universally interpret this verse as a call for a radical shift in loyalty. Just as a royal bride was to leave her old family and culture behind, believers are called to 'forget' their former life. This means forsaking worldly attachments, sinful habits, and old ways of thinking to give Christ wholehearted and undivided devotion. This isn't about erasing memories but about establishing a new, primary identity in Him.
