TRYING TO KNOW GOD'S WILL FOR MY LIFE.
GREAT NEWS, IT'S ALREADY BEEN REVEALED. NO, NOT THE DETAILS,
NOT THE MINUTIAE. IT IS FINE TO ASK GOD FOR HELP IN MAKING THOSE
DECISIONS AND THAT IS APPROPRIATE. BUT GOD PRESCRIBES
SOMETHING DIFFERENT FOR US TO UNDERSTAND HIS WILL. HE REVEALS
IT TO US IN THE BIBLE. WHAT HE HAS DONE, WHAT HE IS DOING, AND
WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO. NOW, TAKE THAT MASS OF INFORMATION
AND SIMPLY DO IT. SO WHAT DOES GOD REVEAL IN THE BIBLE IS HIS
WILL FOR YOUR LIFE. JOHN MACARTHUR NUMBER ONE. >> GOD'S
WILL IS THAT YOU BE SAVED. GOD'S WILL IS THAT YOU BE SAVED.
DELIVERED FROM SIN AND DEATH AND JUDGEMENT AND HELL. THAT'S WHAT
THE WORD SAVED MEANS. THAT YOU BE RESCUED FROM ETERNAL
DAMNATION, ETERNAL PUNISHMENT. GOD'S WILL IS THAT YOU BE SAVED.
FIRST TIMOTHY CHAPTER TWO VERSE THREE: THIS IS GOOD AND
ACCEPTABLE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD OUR SAVIOR, WHO WILL HAVE ALL
MEN TO BE SAVED AND TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. >>
STOP IT NO! STOP! >> OH, WE'RE BACK. THAT IS GOD'S WILL FOR
YOUR LIFE. THAT YOU BE SAVED, SECOND PETER THREE NINE. GOD
DESIRES THAT ALL MEN WOULD COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH.
AND THE REST OF THE BIBLE BACKS IT UP, BECAUSE, WELL THAT'S WHAT
THE REST OF THE BIBLE IS ABOUT. REVEALING GOD'S WILL TO BE
GLORIFIED IN THE SALVATION OF SINNERS AND GOD DESIRES THAT YOU
GET SAVED. YOUNG PERSON, I'M TALKING TO YOU RIGHT NOW. DO NOT
LISTEN TO MY EXAMPLE OF... >> NO! >> HITTING SOMEBODY WITH A
STICK, 'CAUSE YOU CAN LISTEN TO AN EXAMPLE DON'TCHA KNOW. >>
STOP!! >> BUT LISTEN TO THIS, GOD WANTS YOU TO GET SAVED.
RIGHT NOW YOU'RE RANGLING WITH, "WELL, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO
FOR A CAREER? AND WHAT ABOUT THIS GIRL? THAT GUY? HOW DO I
KNOW WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO WEAR FOR THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL? ALL
OF THOSE QUESTIONS HAVE URGENCY, BUT THEY PALE IN COMPARISON TO
GOD'S WILL FOR YOUR LIFE THAT YOU GET SAVED. AND WHEN YOU DO
ALL OF THE OTHER DECISIONS, QUITE HONESTLY, ARE QUITE
SIMPLE. YOU GET THE BIGGIE DOWN, YOU GET GOD'S WILL FIGURED OUT
FOR YOUR LIFE, WHICH IS YOUR SALVATION, THAT YOU WOULD REPENT
AND PUT YOUR TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST. AND WHILE YOU MIGHT HAVE
TO THINK THROUGH ISSUES LIKE MARRIAGE, AND EDUCATION, AND
LOCATION OF YOUR NEW HOME, IT WILL NOT BE A SOURCE OF, "OHH, I
DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO BE DOING HERE." WHEN YOU FIGURE
OUT THE BIGGIE, WHICH IS GOD WANTS YOU TO BE SAVED, YOU WILL
HUMBLE YOURSELF BEFORE HIS MIGHTY HAND, THEN YOU SIMPLY
SPEND THE REST OF YOUR DAYS TRYING TO BE OBEDIENT TO HIM.
