Will Of God
The "Will of God" in the Bible refers to God's sovereign plan and purpose for creation and humanity, which encompasses both His moral will and His sovereign will. The moral will of God is often understood as His commandments and ethical directives for human behavior, as seen in the Scriptures. For instance, in 1 Thessalonians 4:3, Paul states, "For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality." This highlights that God's will is not only about what He desires but also about moral living and ethical conduct.In contrast, the sovereign will of God pertains to His divine control and governance over all events in the universe. Romans 8:28 is a classic reference that illustrates this, stating, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." This indicates that God's overarching plan is ultimately for the good of His people, even when circumstances may not immediately appear favorable. Understanding the Will of God, therefore, invites believers to seek alignment with His teachings and trust in His divine plan for their lives and the world at large.
