DOING GOD'S WILL: 1 PETER 2:13-16
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. God's Will
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.
1 Timothy 2:1-4
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2. Doing God’s Will
1 Peter 2:13-16
Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.
