What is God's will?
The will of God Generally speaking, the will of God mentioned in the Bible has three different meanings: 1. In some scriptures, "God's will" is another expression of "God's law". For example, the poet David once compared "your will" with "your law" in Psalm 40: 8; Similarly, the apostle Paul equated knowing God's law with knowing God's will (Romans. 2: 17- 18). In other words, since God teaches us to obey his laws, his laws can be called "God's will". "Dharma" is essentially "precept", which refers to everything that God says. 2. "God's will" can also refer to all the wishes that God conveys to people in the Bible, which is called God's "pure will". For example, God reveals to us in the Bible that he wants everyone to be saved. 2: 4; Peter. 3: 9), no saved believer should fall from grace (see John 6: 40). This truth does not mean that everyone will be saved, but that God wants everyone to be saved. Finally, "God's will" can also refer to what God doesn't really want, but only allows or permits to happen. We can call it "God's permission will". Indeed, many things that happen in the world are against God's pure will (such as sin, lust, violence, hatred and the hardness of the human heart), but God allows sin to remain in the world for some time. For example, God allows many people to choose to refuse to be saved and lose it forever, because he has not put the faith of salvation on those who refuse to be saved by Christ.
