GOD'S WILL: AS A PLAN / CALL (2)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. God’s Will
a) There have been many books written to help people understand what the will of God is for their life. God’s will, in the Bible applies to all believers whereas God’s plan for your life may differ from someone else’s plan.
b) A pastor once told us that it is simple to understand God’s will for your life. All you have to do is answer 3 simple questions:
i) Is it Scriptural?
ii) Is it the desire of your heart?; and
iii) Is there a need?
c) If the answer “No” to any of these questions, then it is not God’s will or plan for you.
2. As a Plan / Call
1 Corinthians 1:1-3
Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and our brother Sosthenes, To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 1:1-2
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and are faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
