Question:
How do we know what the Lord’s will for us is?

Answer:
By God revealing it to us through His Word, His Mind and Heart and Will has been manifested to us in the canon of Scripture. We need only be subject to His Word and He will reveal His will to us. It may be though direct commandment or through many principles He has stated for us. I emphasize the fact that we must be willing to do His will before He will reveal His will to us. John 7:17 reads, “If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine….” Also, Romans 12:1,2 states, “…present your bodies a living sacrifice….be not conformed to this world:but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, THAT YE MAY PROVE WHAT IS THAT GOOD, AND ACCEPTABLE, AND PERFECT, WILL OF GOD.”
