God's Good, Pleasing, and Perfect Will
April 18, 2024
The world’s will for us, based on the world’s thinking sounds right and reasonable at face value: money equals happiness, success is the path to satisfaction, what makes me feel good must be right. Alternatively, God’s will for our lives doesn’t sound quite so attractive: humility, sacrifice, and service to others. Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he shows us that walking in God’s will is in the end, the path that brings true joy and satisfaction in the life of the believer.

Those who are in Christ have been justified before God. But salvation means much more; it means that we are sanctified, that God actually leads us into holiness. As Michael Allen and company explain, our holiness is carried out in the present work of our sovereign, loving God. In Christ we are given life, not simply in name, but in fact. Praise the Lord, who delivers His children through every weakness. Though you struggle with sin, do not be discouraged; it is God who works in you, "both to will and to work for his good pleasure" (Phil. 2:13).

If you eliminate God from the universe as humanists tend to do, then man assumes the role and becomes the measure of all things. In light of that, you may be surprised to learn that the Bible also describes man as much more important and valuable than any humanist might imagine, but with one major caveat. Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he explores the value of man and the value of others.

Have you ever been at a place in your life where you felt forgotten or forsaken, totally alone? It’s a painful place to be, a place where you feel no one understands or “feels your pain.” But one person does understand, and has felt your pain and has conquered death for you so that you can have eternal life.

For years, the Berlin Wall separated citizens of East Germany from family members in West Germany. Families once divided were reunited when the wall finally came down.
