Understanding the good,
acceptable and perfect will
of God
Not everyone who says to
me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter
the kingdom of heaven, but
only the one who does the
will of my Father in heaven.
Many will say to me on that
day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not
prophesy in your name? Did
we not drive out demons in
your name? Did we not do
mighty deeds in your name?’
Then I will declare to them
solemnly, ‘I never knew you.
Depart from me, you
evildoers’ (Matthew 7:21-23).
Each and every one of us, as
children of God, must be conscious
of the will of God. In whatever we
do or wherever we go, we must be
conscious of His will. If Jesus
came to this world to fulfill His
Father's will, then we must
position ourselves to do the
same. We weren't created to
do our own things or to live
as we wish, we are meant to
work and live according to
Gods perfect will. Before
we become born again, our
lives are guided by our own
selfish and fleshly desires.
We do whatever we want
without thinking twice but
when we get saved, we are
expected to submit to Gods
perfect will concerning our
lives.
From now on, you must live the rest of your
earthly lives controlled by God’s will and not
by human desires. You have spent enough
time in the past doing what the heathen like
to do. Your lives were spent in indecency,
lust, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties,
and the disgusting worship of idols (1 Peter
4:2-3).
