THE LORD´S WILL

GOD'S WILL FOR OUR LIFE

We are not here on earth by accident or by chance.

God created us with a purpose, a plan, a goal. We should not waste life, not even waste time on useless things, but we should take every opportunity to live in a way to please God.

Everything was created with a target, and likewise, each of us:

a chair is intended to seat in it;

a fan is intended to refresh ourselves;

each part of our body has a function.

None of us is alive by chance.

We need to know God's will for us. This is crucial for our existence.

What God wants for our lives is found in His Word. It is through it that God communicates with us. Two points can help us understand if what we do is or not according to God's will:

1. Must be according to the Bible

God does not contradict. He will never ask for something other than Himself revealed to us in His Word. What he said is right, it will always be right. What he says is wrong is always wrong. God's laws are immutable. If we disobey, we will have guilt and shame. God shows us the error, and He wants to help us to get back to obey Him. In Him, we have true hope, comfort, peace, repentance for the forgiveness of God (1 John 1.9, Isaiah 43.25). God can transform us day by day.

If we are in doubt whether something is of God, we can compare with His Word.

2. It makes us to be more like Jesus

Jesus is God Himself. He is the model and the following example. He is our standard of value, of attitude, of purpose, of obedience, of love, of care, of efficiency, of kindness, etc.

He knew the Bible, and practiced it, and preached to everyone, because he knows that we do wrong by not knowing the Bible nor the power of God (Matthew 22:29).

The more we know God, the more we will understand who He is. More we will know what He approves and disapproves. More we will know what He has prepared for us.
