Are You Living in the Will of God?
How many people today struggle with knowing the will of God? Many people believe that their own personal beliefs must be the will of God.
They will say that they know that, “God is like this” or “God wants this” or “God does this.”
However, we can only know who God is and what God wills, by reading the Word of God.
It is in His Word, the Bible, that we find, what humanity is to believe concerning God (Genesis 1:1; John 5:39; John 20:31; Romans 10:17; 2 Timothy 3:15).
Also, in the Bible, we discover what duty God requires of humanity (Deuteronomy 10:12-13; Joshua 1:8; Psalm 119:105; Micah 6:8; 2 Timothy 3:16-17).
We must never forget that right belief and right behavior go together, and that right behavior arises from right belief. God is pleased with our conduct only when it arises from trust in him and his word.

Why do you think so many people believe the exact opposite? Do you?
