\"\"One the common things you might hear someone say in Christian circles is, \u201cI want to know what the will of God is.\u201d This is a fine thing to want. Indeed, God himself does will certain things for his creation, and he wants us to know what those things are. He is not a distant, aloof deity unconcerned with the affairs of the world. He is near, and he is committed to seeing his purposes and designs for his creation fulfilled.<\/p>\n

So there is no need to have angst over this issue. God has made his will known in the scriptures. Granted, you won\u2019t necessarily find the specific answers to every particular question you might have directly in the Bible, but the Bible provides the essential framework by which we can know and enter into the general will of God, which has bearing on his specific will for each of the particulars of life.<\/p>\n

In Colossians 1:9, the Apostle Paul writes, \u201cWe have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding.\u201d God wants us to have \u201ccomplete knowledge\u201d of his will, and this new sermon series, \u201cGod\u2019s Will,\u201d offers the starting point for that to come to pass. <\/p>\n
