The Will Of The Only True God
2011-03-18 20:57
No other will can coexist with the will of the only God "I AM." It is the same both in heaven and on earth from everlasting. And so, Jesus, who came in the flesh into the world to fulfill the will of God, said about the will of the only God, "your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." (Matthew 6:10).
All the works that are fulfilled in heaven and on earth are only for the will of the only true God. And so, Jesus the Son of God, who was sent to fulfill the will, said, "For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day." (John 6:38-39). And also, "Jesus gave them this answer: 'I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.'" (John 5:19).
Therefore, all the words of His Son, who was sent into the world by the will of the Father, are the words of the Father, and all the works of His Son are the works of the Father. And so, it is written in the Bible, "Philip said, 'Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.' Jesus answered: 'Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, Show us the Father?'" (John 14:8-9).
Furthermore, the Spirit of truth, whom Jesus asked the Father to send into the world, did not speak on his own. It is written, "I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come." (John 16:12-13).
God made His only begotten Son, whom He sent into the world to take away sins according to His will, work through the flesh, and He made the Counselor, the Spirit of truth, whom He sent so that those who were justified by faith in His Son could be conformed to the likeness of His Son, work through the spirit to the very end of the age.
Even though the Son of God has grown up to be perfect, he cannot reach the will of God. And so, the Son confessed to the Father in the last work to fulfill the will of the Father, "'Abba, Father,' he said, 'everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.'" (Mark 14:36).
Another Counselor, the Spirit of truth, whom God sent into the world in the name of His Son does not work on his own, but works only according to the will of God, who sent him. And so, the faithful apostle Paul, who knew this truth, said, "And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will." (Romans 8:27).
Therefore, the Lord Jesus, the Son of God, said the profound words, "If anyone chooses to do God's will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own." (John 7:17).
Therefore, we, who know this truth, should say, "who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." (Galatians 1:4-5). It is written, "according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Ephesians 3:11).
Therefore, the Book of Truth said, "The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming--not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. If it could, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins, because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: 'Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me; with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased. Then I said, Here I am--it is written about me in the scroll--I have come to do your will, O God.' First he said, 'Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them' (although the law required them to be made). Then he said, 'Here I am, I have come to do your will.' He sets aside the first to establish the second. And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." (Hebrews 10:1-10).
"The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever." (1 John 2:17). Amen. Thank you, Lord.
