My computer was in the shop since last Wednesday afternoon.  I was not able to post the end of last week.  Thank you for your understanding!

The Will of God (II): “Divine Revelation”

2 Timothy 3:16-17

 

Introduction-

 

 

Main Idea- Much of God’s will has already been revealed in general principles and commands included in Scripture.

 

 

(2 Timothy 3:16-17) God has revealed Himself and His generalized will in Scripture to transform your thinking, behavior and service.

 

 

 

 

 

(1 Thessalonians 4:3-8; 5:18) God has specifically revealed in Scripture that he expects your sexual purity and your thanksgiving.

 

 

 

 

 

(Ephesians 5:15-18) God has revealed that He expects you to use time wisely and be controlled by the Spirit.

 

 

 

 

 

(1 Peter 2:15; 3:17; 4:19) God has even revealed that, sometimes, it is His will for you as a Christian to suffer.

 

 

 

 

 

Concluding Question- Why should you expect God to reveal the unknown specific aspects of His will if you’re not doing His known general will?
