What is the Lord's Will?

What is the Lord's will for our lives?

We find the will of God in a general way through all the Word of God, and in particular from the moral Law of God.  God's commandments are not burdensome to those who love the Lord, and they see that His Law is righteous.

The Apostle Paul describes the will of God in one particular way by living a pure life from sexual immorality.  We see this truth in, 1Th.4:3, "For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality."  Our sexuality can create life and it can destroy relationships.  There's a good reason why God instructs us to keep his Laws. 

Our culture is depraved in many ways but we need to see the will of God in the Bible because we cannot know it in the world.  The Bible is the light of God's truth, it is the Word from God.  We can come to know the will of God when we see the goodness and righteousness of all His Law.  Jesus upheld this Law and this is the will of God for us too.  Our hearts will be blessed if we accept His will.

FAITH TODAY: Jn.14:21, "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me.  And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love and manifest Myself to him."
