God’s Will For The Lost

The Lord Is... NOT Willing That Any Should Perish

* But That All Should come To Repentance

2 Peter 3:9 (KJV) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Jesus Answered And Said

* This Is The Work Of God (That Ye Believe On Him)

John 6:28 (KJV) Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

John 6:29 (KJV) Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

John 6:30 (KJV) They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

John 6:31 (KJV) Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

John 6:32 (KJV) Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

John 6:33 (KJV) For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

John 6:34 (KJV) Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

John 6:35 (KJV) And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

John 6:36 (KJV) But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

John 6:37 (KJV) All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

John 6:38 (KJV) For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

* This Is The Father’s Will (Lose Nothing)

John 6:39 (KJV) And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, THAT OF ALL WHICH HE HATH GIVEN ME I SHOULD LOSE NOTHING, but should raise it up again at the last day.

* This Is The Will Of Him (Everlasting Life)

John 6:40 (KJV) AND THIS IS THE WILL OF HIM THAT SENT ME, THAT EVERY ONE which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, MAY HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE: and I will raise him up at the last day.

The Family Of God

* Whosoever Shall Do The Will Of God

Mark 3:31 (KJV) There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.

Mark 3:32 (KJV) And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

Mark 3:33 (KJV) And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?

Mark 3:34 (KJV) And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

Mark 3:35 (KJV) For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

God’s Will For The Saved

Understanding What The Will Of The Lord Is

* Have No Fellowship With...

Ephesians 5:11 (KJV) And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

Ephesians 5:12 (KJV) For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.

Ephesians 5:13 (KJV) But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

Ephesians 5:14 (KJV) Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

* Be Wise

Ephesians 5:15 (KJV) See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

Ephesians 5:16 (KJV) Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Ephesians 5:17 (KJV) Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

Ephesians 5:18 (KJV) And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

Ephesians 5:19 (KJV) Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

Ephesians 5:20 (KJV) Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Ephesians 5:21 (KJV) Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

For This Is The Will Of God

* Abstain From Fornication

1 Thessalonians 4:1 (KJV) Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

1 Thessalonians 4:2 (KJV) For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 4:3 (KJV) FOR THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

* Possess His Vessel In Sanctification (Be Holy)

1 Thessalonians 4:4 (KJV) That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

1 Thessalonians 4:5 (KJV) Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

* Don’t Defraud Your Brother

1 Thessalonians 4:6 (KJV) That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

1 Thessalonians 4:7 (KJV) For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

1 Thessalonians 4:8 (KJV) He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

For This Is The Will Of God

* Rejoice

1 Thessalonians 5:16 (KJV) Rejoice evermore.

* Pray

1 Thessalonians 5:17 (KJV) Pray without ceasing.

* Give Thanks

1 Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV) In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

For So Is The Will Of God

* Submit

1 Peter 2:13 (KJV) Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

1 Peter 2:14 (KJV) Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

* Put To Silence The Ignorance Of Foolish Men

1 Peter 2:15 (KJV) For so is the will of God, THAT WITH WELL DOING ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

1 Peter 2:16 (KJV) As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

If The Will Of God Be So

* Suffer For Righteousness’ Sake

1 Peter 3:14 (KJV) But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

* Sanctify – Be Ready To Give An Answer

1 Peter 3:15 (KJV) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

1 Peter 3:16 (KJV) Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

* Suffer For Well Doing

1 Peter 3:17 (KJV) For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
