God's Will And The Bible

GOD’S POSITIONING SYSTEM
‘God’s Will in the Bible’

1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters,
in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies
as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to
God—this is your true and proper worship…

Romans 12:1-2
… 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this
world, but be transformed by the renewing
of your mind. Then you will be able to test
and approve what God’s will is—his good,
pleasing and perfect will.

that is going to take place no matter what.

A voice of one calling: "In the desert prepare
the way for the LORD ; make straight in the
wilderness a highway for our God. Every

become level, the rugged places a plain…

Isaiah 40:3-5
… And the glory of the LORD will be
revealed, and all mankind together will see
it. For the mouth of the LORD has spoken."

The word Sovereign means – supreme in
power without equal superior in position to all
others.

Whatever He wants whenever He wants.

predestined according to the plan of him who
works out everything in conformity with the
purpose of his will.

believer and it is contained in His Word.

my path.

because the breath of the Lord blows them.
Surely the people are grass…

Isaiah 40:6-8
… The grass withers and the flowers fall, but
the word of our God stands forever."

The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the
soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy,
making wise the simple. The precepts of the
LORD are right, giving joy to the heart…

… The commands of the LORD are radiant,
giving light to the eyes. The fear of the LORD
is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of
the LORD are sure and altogether righteous…

… They are more precious than gold, than much
pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than
honey from the comb. By them is your servant
warned; in keeping them there is great reward.

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of
God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living

this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind…

what God's will is--his good, pleasing and
perfect will.

Deuteronomy 29:29
The secret things belong to the LORD our God,
but the things revealed belong to us and to
our children forever, that we may follow all the
words of this law.

Our responsibility is:
- Submit to the Sovereign will of God.
- Obey the moral will of God.

Luke 22:42
"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from
me; yet not my will, but yours be done."

not on your own understanding; in all your
ways acknowledge him, and he will make your
paths straight.

before you were born I set you apart; I
appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

Psalm 139:13-16
For you created my inmost being; you knit
me together in my mother's womb. I praise
you because I am fearfully and wonderfully
made; your works are wonderful, I know
that full well...

Psalm 139:13-16
... My frame was not hidden from you when
I was made in the secret place. When I was
woven together in the depths of the earth,

book before one of them came to be.

of Macedonia standing and begging him,
"Come over to Macedonia and help us."
After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready
at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding
that God had called us to preach the gospel
to them.
