Five Elements Of God's Will For You

God’s will is not achieved by us, “doing what feels right” or “living out our truth.”  It is accomplished by us obeying the instructions and principles in His Word.

Here are a few to focus on in the weeks ahead:

Walk in the Spirit.
We need to resist our sinful nature’s desires and chose to glorify God through our words, actions, attitudes, and motives. (Galatians 5:16)

Speak the Truth in Love.
We need to wrap up our truthful words in a blanket of respect, kindness, and love as we deliver them. (Ephesians 4:15)

Operate in Humility.
We should selflessly maintain a low view of our own importance. (Philippians 2:3)

Honor Our Bodies.
We should view and treat our bodies as holy sanctuaries fit for God’s Spirit to reside within.  (1 Corinthians 6:19)

Bless Our Enemies.
We should repay evil with blessings and offenses with kindness, mercy, and grace.

It can be confusing not to know if we are in God’s will or not.  But obeying His Word from a spirit of love and gratitude for all Jesus has done for us gives us the confidence that we are pleasing Him and doing the right things.
