KNOWING THE PERFECT WILL OF GOD!
“THE WILL OF GOD” (Ephesians 5:17)
Introduction: God has a {WILL} for every person (Ephesians 1:1).
God wants us to {KNOW}His will (Ephesians 5:17).
I. GOD HAS A {PERFECT} WILL *Romans 12:1-2 *Romans 3:23 *Matthew 5:48
It is God’s will for all to be {SAVED}. (I Timothy 2:4) 2.
It is God’s will for all to be {SANCTIFIED}. (I Thessalonians 4:3 & 5:23) 3.
It is God’s will we be fully {SURRENDERED}. (Mark 14:36 & Psalm 40:8) 4.
It is God’s will we be {GRATEFUL}. (I Thessalonians 5:18)
II. GOD HAS A {PERMISSIVE} WILL
Sometimes it is {IGNORANCE}. (I Timothy 1:12-14; I Corinthians 15:9-10; Romans 7:7; Acts 17:30)
Sometimes it is {DELIBERATE}. (Jonah 1:1-4; Luke 15:11-14; Acts 3:19)
Note: No person should seek God’s {PERMISSIVE} will, when they could have God’s {PERFECT} will.
(Psalm 106:13-15) God gives {GRACE} to all who truly repent!
