In 1 Peter 2:15 we are told that it is the will of God that His people DO WELL (by His standard). In the following verse the apostle tells us that doing well is the primary characteristic of God’s servants. Note that the emphasis is on DOING–our words, thoughts and deeds. Note that faith is […]
God’s Will–The Saint’s Only Agenda (Pt. 9)
In the fourth chapter of John’s gospel to the church Jesus stated that His agenda, His ONLY agenda, was to do the will of the father. As a man, Jesus of Nazareth was a disciple of God the Father. A disciple is one who emulates (copies) the words, thoughts and deeds of another–his master. In […]
God’s Will–The Saint’s Only Agenda (Pt. 8)
Relative to learning and obeying the will of God, few passages of Scripture are equal to the first 17 verses of Ephesians chapter 5. Here we find the Apostle Paul writing to God’s Church about problems that had arisen within the body. It seems that the parishioners had failed to maintain their spiritual focus on […]
God’s Will–The Saint’s Only Agenda (Pt. 7)
In Hebrew 5:8 we learn that Jesus of Nazareth, like all other men, had to LEARN TO OBEY GOD. He did this by undergoing testing and trying so that the difference between right and wrong would become obvious, thereby giving Him the option of which one to choose. This was prophesied in Isaiah 7:14-17. Here […]
God’s Will–The Saint’s Only Agenda (Pt. 6)
There is a common belief within professing Christendom that Jesus of Nazareth retained a portion of His deity status and powers when He came to earth in the form of a man. The series titled Jesus of Nazareth: God, Man or God-man? dispels this error using numerous Scriptural proofs. Let it be known with Biblical […]
God’s Will–The Saint’s Only Agenda (Pt. 5)
In John 5:30 Jesus of Nazareth–the Word (Jn. 1:1-4.14) Who comprised one-half of the Godhead until He came to earth as a man, said: “I seek the will of Him Who sent Me.” If, as many within professing Christendom believe, He retained His status as a God while on earth, to know God’s Will He […]
God’s Will–The Saint’s Only Agenda (Pt. 4)
The God of the Bible always warns before He strikes. He makes clear His will and expects those who know it to obey it. He always uses a man to make His will known to the world. That man leads other ministers who follow his lead. The Scriptures speak of two men God had chosen […]
God’s Will–The Saint’s Only Agenda (Pt. 3)
In 1 John 2:6 the Almighty tells us that if we call ourselves by His name we must live up to that exalted and honorable status by walking (living) as His Son walked while on earth. In John 4:6,8,31-35 Jesus said that His meat (broma-food) was to do the will of His Father and to […]
God’s Will–The Saint’s Only Agenda (Pt. 2)
In John 4:6,8,31-35 we find Jesus talking to His disciples at a well where He had confessed to a heathen woman that He was the Messiah. He then proved it by telling her about her life. He and the disciples had been walking from Judea to Sychar (Samaria), which was about 20 miles, He had […]
God’s Will–The Saint’s Only Agenda (Pt. 1)
Beginning in prehistory, the only agenda God laid out for His created beings is that His will be done in them as well as in the rest of the universe. However, as the Bible tells us, rebellion against His will, and therefore against God Himself, began with His first creation–angels–one third of whom chose to […]
