Discover the will of God for you – Part 7

God Wants To Be Known (Cont)

(3) God’s desire that believers should be raised at the last day does not relieve them of the responsibility of obeying His voice and following Him (10:27; 14:21). Jesus acknowledged on the night of His betrayed that He protected His disciples and “while I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name and none of them is lost except the son of perdition that the Scripture might be fulfilled.” (17:12).

“Then they said to Him: “What shall we do that we may work the works of God?” 29: Jesus answered and said to them: “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” (Jn6:28, 29)

Many sincere seekers for God are puzzled about what He wants them to do. The religions of the world are mankind’s attempts to answer this question. But Jesus’ reply is brief and simple: “We must believe on him whom God has sent. Satisfying God does not come from the work we do, but from whom we believe. The first step is accepting that Jesus is who He claims to be. All spiritual development is built on this affirmation. Declare to Jesus, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16), and embark on a life of belief that is satisfying to your Creator.

“If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority,” (Jn 7:17).

“If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself,” (Jn 7:17) KJV.

“If any man will do his will.” True saving faith and an experiential knowledge of His teachings require a sincere desire to do the will of God. To believe is to make a commitment to obey.

Those who attempted to know God’s will and do it will know intuitively that Jesus was telling the truth about Himself. “I who speak to you am He,” (Jn 4:26). “For if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins,” (Jn 8:24). “When you lift up the Son of man, then you will know that I am He,” (Jn 8:28). “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him,” (Jn 14:7). “He who has seen me has seen the Father” (Jn 14:9).

Now that you know and believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate, you can know and discover the will of God for you.
