The mysteries are given . We read them in the bible now . This is how it works. When Jesus spoke those words to the diciples they were then later written down.
Yes..as was also revealed to Paul...God spoke ....and revealed The Law and the Prophets....beautiful....

34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

If you are in Christ today you have already arrived. This is pre Cross , pre resurrection, pre giving of the Holy Spirit . God did not stop speaking in the four Gospels. keep on reading ..it gets better.

WHY did Jesus come? Here's one reason and it was the first thing that came to mind was John 10 10. Surprised unless I missed it no one spoke about it. Jesus heals someone the give Him a hard time and He says "The thief cometh not but to steal and to kill and to destroy. I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly/live life to the fullest/fullest measure/have everything they need/give life with joy and abundance/have life and have more plenteously. So forth so on.

The other came to mind is Amp: But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also. The will of God should be easy.. is His word.

Ok the part about "Never knew you... those who do the will of the Father". Those are not believers He's talking to. Well to believe on Him aka John 3:16 hello is doing His will. The key word is "never". He can't lie Christ knows me His own words to me were "you are the branches I am the vine". He knows me Heaven knows me the Father knows me. He can never say to me "I never knew you". "All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out."

Yet some listen to the enemy the lies. You goof up to much and thats it God tosses you out! Think.. what was the will of the Father Jesus spoke about :) Die on the cross for the worlds sin? The word tell us not to be easily swayed. You believe in Christ as your lord and savior you are doing the Fathers will.

I heard a Muslim talk about his encounter with Christ. The Muslim man had no clue who He was.. He said "I am the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob and the God of the Christians. Pushing over some carts..forgive me haha

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

I see this keeps happening . There seems to be a knee jerk reaction when you say God did not stop speaking. Surely you accept that God did not stop speaking at the first 5 books of the bible? Ok if your comfortable with that, how about up to the book of Isaiah? how about Up to Malachi? Ok let's keep going. I assume you read a bible with the 66 books in it . So I assume you would not be happy if that bible did not have any more pages in it after the Book of John? You'd probably want a refund ? But I assume you do have those pages right up to Revelation? Ok my point is simply that God kept speaking and revealing . He didn't stop at the book of John . Or even the book of Acts . Although I'm nearly convinced that some churches only have bibles that only go as far as Acts . They may only have the four Gospels and the book of Acts . Really thin bibles lol .

It does not matter how much people argue against the Words of Christ....every Word is the absolute truth and instruction of God to His children...in this very dark and evil world....and God knows who belongs to Him....as scripture says...these things are written so that the thoughts of man are revealed unto God....and God most certainly leads His children....to enter the great light.....to receive the gift of the Torah....the magnificent Wisdom of God....
The common thing amongst those to whom God revealed himself....was that they walked a very solitary road...their hearts being utterly devoted to God....
Hence we obey ....and learn from from the last words of those who have been stoned to death for the testimony of truth...chained, beaten...yet still they Glorified God....most certainly the gift of God is precious indeed.
things of this world are temporary...
Everything dies..husband ,wife ,children,animals alike...all descend to the grave...just flesh and bones..therefore we do not worry...we know that God is eternal
This is why Paul said he is a Jew from the heart..a true Jew knows and recognises truth...and the reason he shed tears because of people’s unbelief...so so sad.....
as God said in the beginning of time....on your belly you shall crawl all the days of your life....such is the punishment for not believing that God exists....
as the Lord uttered again...nobody can come to the Father unless he is enabled...

as the ancients have said....truly there is nothing new under the sun....
there will always be 2 sides to the fence....but never neutral.....either on the side of life or the side of death

I'm more and more convinced some Christians only read the Four Gospels and the book of Acts , and that's it . Certainly some Churches only preach from those books 99% of the time .

In fact there is no need for any preaching....the Word is before all mankind....as the Lord said....to whosoever believeth.....again Paul said..you do not need anyone to teach you....God speaks the same thing to all mankind....they either obey or dissobey....
the average life span of man is but a few years...from the beginning of birth everyone is already on their way to the grave....this is the reality...
so if we weigh the options of living up to the expectations of society...or take the narrow road to God....we remember what the Messiah said there on that high mountain overlooking the world....where the devil said..all this I shall give you if you bow down and worship me....the Lord answered..IT IS WRITTEN.......

certainly we choose the Road to God....how can we ever listen to devils...they will always try to lure Gods children to the dungeon....and devils road is very rosy...you can do whatever you wish....something like the spiders web.....once all the victims get caught in the centre and can no longer see...they long for company....such is this world....
God teaches us to be strong....and brave....and Has given us the light to see the ugly spider hiding in the corner....and all his tactics..

the Lord has cautioned us about many things....as Moses said....that God has brought him through a path filled with scorpions and vipers and wild beasts.......

The "dogs" are those who don't believe in Jesus. Most people here do. The "others" are unrepentant Jews.

Instead of acting like you are God's gift to us, get off your high horse and start acting like you are not better; for in truth, you aren't. You are a sinner in need of a saviour, and your arrogance is a stench.
I think this is uncalled for Dino246

Salvation is a free gift, discipleship is costly. "If any man will follow Me" refers to discipleship.
Yes. But I think for believers the two are tied together. You cannot take the free gift and leaving off the other while calling yourself a believer.

Do you know the will of God? Or define it?
We can find the will of God for his creation in Ephesians 1: 9 -10 --- Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he has purposed in himself; That in the dispensation of the fulness of times, he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth, even to him.

Hello Roughsoul1991, that is a very good question. I do not believe there is a question that is asked more often of pastors, IOW, "how do I discover the will of God for my life?"

Perhaps how to go about doing that should be part of this discussion :unsure: @Naomi123, yes/no?

~Deut
The will of God for our life is for us to be holy and perfect as he is. -- so that we can be gathered together with the heavenly hosts ( see my post #119))
