Mohler on God's Will

Last night at Bible study we listened to a sermon from Dr. Al Mohler on the will of God (you can find it here).  Below are a list of the 15 points he gave on things we know to be the will of God (numbers 1-2, 4 all are God's sovereign will that we can look back and see is true, the rest are God's commanded will- things we are called to do).

1 – that you were born
2 – that you will die
3 – that you will grow, especially spiritually
4 – that you are made male or female
5 – that you believe in Christ
6 – that you submit Jesus Christ as your Lord
7 – that you trust and obey God's Word
8 – that you obey all authorities
9 – that you be married (he gave caveats regarding singleness...for more on singleness listen to my lesson on the subject by clicking here or see the biblical principles on singleness here)
10 – that married couples should desire and welcome the gift of children
11 – that you develop and exercise God’s gifts to serve others
12 – that you are highly invested and actively involved in the Local Church
13 – that you lead others (by office, example, etc.)
14 – that you share the gospel
15 – that you do everything for the glory of God



Next week we will begin looking at biblical decision making.
