What Is God's Will

WHAT IS GOD’S WILL?

OBSERVATION: GOD’S WILL IS TOP PRIORITY.

INTERPRETATION: ROMANS 12: 1-2 (NKJV) I BESEECH YOU THEREFORE, BRETHREN, BY THE MERCIES OF GOD, THAT YOU PRESENT YOUR BODIES A LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY, ACCEPTABLE TO GOD, WHICH IS YOUR REASONABLE SERVICE. AND DO NOT BE CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD, BUT BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, THAT YOU MAY PROVE WHAT IS THAT GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE AND PERFECT WILL OF GOD.

POINTS TO PONDER:

THESE SCRIPTURES TELL YOU THAT OBEDIENCE IS GOD’S TOP PRIORITY!

THE OLD TESTAMENT SACRIFICED VARIOUS ANIMALS TO PLEASE THE LORD. THESE SACRIFICES WERE CONTINUAL. UNDER THE NEW COVENANT, CHRIST WAS THE PERFECT SACRIFICE FOR ALL SIN FOR ALL TIME. THE APOSTLE PAUL STRESSES THE IMPORTANCE OF OFFERING YOUR BODY AS A LIVING SACRIFICE TO HIM.

CONFORM MEANS TO “MOLD” OR “FORM”. BELIEVERS ARE “TRANSFORMED”, A RENEWING OF YOUR MIND. YOU DO NOT THINK LIKE THE WORD THINKS!

APPLICATION: GOD’S TRUTH WILL PRODUCE A LIFE THAT WITHSTANDS A TEST OF TIME. YOUR THOUGHTS WILL BE HIS THOUGHTS! THAT IS GOD’S WILL FOR BELIEVERS!
