“Knowing And Doing the Will of God!”

 “Knowing And Doing the Will Of God!”

 

“I take joy in doing your will, my God, for your instructions are written on my heart.”            Psalm 40:8

 

 

There are some who think that going to church on Sunday, and maybe on Wednesday, is all they need to be OK with the ALMIGHTY GOD.  And they hardly if EVER, READ and STUDY the WORD OF GOD.  KNOWING the WORD of God is very IMPORTANT to your RELATIONSHIP with God, because if you READ and STUDY your BIBLE, which is the WORD of the LIVING GOD, then you will come to KNOW what the WILL of GOD is for YOUR LIFE.

 

King David, KNEW the WILL of GOD for his life and YIELDED himself to do the WILL of the ALMIGHTY GOD.  He WILLINGLY GAVE of HIMSELF to DO the WILL of GOD.  In verse seven, he CAME to GOD, and NOT BEGRUDGINGLY, but WILLINGLY offered himself to do the WILL that GOD had PLANNED for him.  And in ACCORDANCE to GOD’S WORD, he DEDICATED himself to DOING the WILL of GOD.  

 

David sets an EXCELLENT EXAMPLE of HOW to KNOW and DO the WILL of GOD for ALL of those who have TRULY GIVEN their HEARTS and LIVES to GOD.  And to be ABLE to have a TRULY RIGHT and INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP with our HEAVENLY FATHER.  

 

Another EXCELLENT EXAMPLE is found in Hebrews 10:5-7:  That is why, when Christ came into the world, He said to God.  “You did not want sacrifices or sin offerings.  But you have given Me a body to offer.  You were not pleased with burnt offerings or other offerings for sin.  Then I said, ‘Look, I have COME to DO YOUR WILL, O God—-as it is written about Me in the Scriptures.”  The BLOOD of the ANIMAL sacrifice, was NOT SUFFICIENT to TAKE AWAY the SINS of mankind.  ONLY the BLOOD of JESUS, GOD’S ONLY SON, the PERFECT SACRIFICE is ABLE to do that, because it was the PERFECT WILL of GOD for His Son.  And it is the PERFECT WILL of God for MANKIND to ACCEPT JESUS as their SAVIOR and LORD.  And to be OBEDIENT to God’s Will for their life.  And the way to do that is to PRAY and SEEK GOD’S WILL for YOU.  

 

In order to KNOW and DO the WILL of GOD, you MUST FIRST become a TRUE CHILD of GOD.  And you do that by:  ADMITTING that YOU are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  And by BELIEVING, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  And to be ABLE to ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY TO ESCAPE once you are there.  And to GAIN an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  To do that you MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and, KNOW and DO the WILL of GOD for YOU!!  So, do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  DON’T BE LEFT BEHIND!!!
