0041. Doing God's Will

Doing God’s Will

"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" (Mat_7:21).

1. It is the will of God to save us out of this present evil age (Gal_1:4). God wants us to be a people separate unto Him.

2. It is the will of God that we should be sanctified, for "this is the will of God, even your sanctification" (1Th_4:3).

God wants His children to be clean and free from stain. God wants His children to be yielded, separated unto Him; dedicated unto His service.

3. It is the will of God that we should give thanks in everything (1Th_5:18). God wants us to praise Him for our disappointments, and to spell disappointment with a capital "H" instead of a little "d."

4. It is the will of God that we should be placed as sons (Eph_1:5). This is the will that looks on into the future. We are His sons by birth; we shall receive our blessing and our inheritance, by and by. This is the will of God.

5. It is the will of God that we should be with Christ where He is (Joh_17:24).

Certainly in all these things, every true believer desires to stand perfect and complete.

"Through me, Thou gentle Master,

Thy purposes fulfill

I yield myself for ever

To Thy most holy will.

What though I be but weakness,

My strength is not in me;

The poorest of Thy people

Has all things, having Thee."
