GOD'S WILL

p_rehbein · Nov 28, 2014

Good one. Fits in with the one from 2nd Peter..........

2nd Peter 3:9) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Ephesians 2:10
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

A good Scripture for sure..........BUT I don't see how I can include it in a "Collection of Scriptures" which clearly state within the Scripture............."this is the will of God......."

Anyway, thanks.........

I am getting tired of this "Scripture and verse" stuff. How about you actually read God's Word? What does God tell us? Who should come first? Us or God? I could tell you anything I want but it would be false unless I put God first and foremost in my life.

You all want to make it legalistic? Well perfect! You have just made God's Word a legal writting instead of His actual true word!

Is God's word only laws? Or should God's Word be a way of life with Him at the center? Go ahead put yourselves ahead of God. Let's see where that gets ya!

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

It seems His intentions are good

What IS God's will? What Scripture(s) tell us what God's will is? We know we are to submit to His will, we pray for His will to be done........even Jesus did this.......but what does Scripture say His will is?

I have found a few to consider, you may have more than this............if so, please share them.

2nd Peter 3:9) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

1st Thessalonians 4:3) For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

1st Thessalonians 5:18) In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Thats three little titbits and offers nothing to do with Gods overall will

Free-To-Be said:

Yeah, your right............of course you are, you are you!

It's not part of God's overall will that people be saved..............

It's not part of God's overall will that people be thankful for His blessings..........

It's not part of God's overall will that people live a holy and consecrated life..........walking Christ-like and in obedience.......

Yeah, your right.........none of this is part of God's overall will...............

(goodness............sigh)

GAL.1:4.

Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world,
according to the will of God and our Father:

p_rehbein said:

"For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:" Rom 4:14

Interesting, if transgression of the law is sin, then anyone who sins must be of the law.

"Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression." Rom 4:15

So if the wages of sin is death, how could that which is eternal die, and if that which dies is not eternal then neither could it save.

"Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed;
not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all:" Rom 4:16

Yet recall the testimony of Jesus:

They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. John 8:39
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard of God: this did not Abraham.John 8:39

If God, then is it the truth he was a man, and if a man then Abraham did not hear God.

[TD]He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][h=4]6[/h][/TD]
[TD]Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
Gen 15:6 Rom 4:3 James 2:23
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][h=4]7[/h][/TD]
[TD]Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

[TD]And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
Gen 12:3 Acts 3:25

[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][h=4]9[/h][/TD]
[TD]So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

[TD]For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

[TD]Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Deut 21:23
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][h=4]14[/h][/TD]
[TD]That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

[TD]Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][h=4]16[/h][/TD]
[TD]Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
Gen 21:12 Rom 9:7 Heb 11:18
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][h=4]17[/h][/TD]
[TD]And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][h=4]18[/h][/TD]
[TD]For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][h=4]19[/h][/TD]
[TD]Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][h=4]20[/h][/TD]
[TD] Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][h=4]21[/h][/TD]
[TD]Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][h=4]22[/h][/TD]
[TD]But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][h=4]23[/h][/TD]
[TD]But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][h=4]24[/h][/TD]
[TD]Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][h=4]25[/h][/TD]
[TD]But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][h=4]26[/h][/TD]
[TD]For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][h=4]27[/h][/TD]
[TD]For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][h=4]28[/h][/TD]
[TD]There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
[/TD]

[TD]And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

I use scripture when I have to and when I don't I use the wisdom imparted unto me.
Will= Either we will do it Gods way or we Will not
Even though we often want to do it our way we must pray not my Will but Thy will be done
whatever that will
will be

And this coming from a guy who proclaims to be the Sage of the Age concerning Scripture......

You deny that Salvation for mankind is part of God's Master (overall) plan

You deny that Living Christ-like in obedience to Him and striving to do His will on earth is not part of His Master (overall) plan

You deny that acknowledging God, offering praises to God, and giving thanks to God is not what God desires us to do

And you WANT to be taken seriously?
