Between The Lines
THREE WILLS OF GOD:
1)PROVIDENTIAL WILL OF GOD.
2)MORAL WILL OF GOD.
3)PERSONAL WILL OF GOD
•THE MORE WE GET TO KNOW THE PROVIDENTIAL WILL OF GOD AND THE MORAL WILL OF GOD, THE BETTER WE’LL DISCERN THE PERSONAL WILL OF GOD.
MORAL WILL OF GOD
It is God's will that you should be sanctified…
hagiasmos (hag-ee-as-mos'); purification, the state of purity, without impurity or pollution.
As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do…
TWO KINDS OF SIN (Romans 7:19)
1) SINS OF COMMISSION.
Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?
• WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUTSIDE THE MORAL WILL OF GOD?
2) SINS OF OMISSION.
Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.
• WHAT ARE YOU NOT DOING THAT GOD WANTS YOU TO DO?
In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will.
