Ok so last week we started out with understanding God’s Providential Will.  That is the things that He is going to do anyway.  Now we are going to look at the other boundary line which is the Moral Will of God.

2.  The moral will of God.

These are the things that God has given us all as commands.  These are the shalt not’s and you will do’s.  Let’s take for example:

I Thessalonians 4:3-5 “3 God wants you to be holy, so you should keep clear of all sexual sin. 4 Then each of you will control your body and live in holiness and honor-5 not in lustful passion as the pagans do, in their ignorance of God and his ways.” NLT
Well that’s pretty self explanatory :)

Here is another verse that we probably do not want to memorize:
I Peter 2:13 & 17 “13 For the Lord’s sake, accept all authority-the king as head of state, 14 and the officials he has appointed… “17 Show respect for everyone. Love your Christian brothers and sisters.* Fear God. Show respect for the king.” NLT

In other words obey those in authority over you.  I wonder how many of us have a hard time figuring out the Will of God when it’s in black and white and in front of us.  How many of us out there speed?  Or how about those of us there that are hiding a little something from the IRS?
All throughout scriptures we find the basic moral will of God, the dos and do nots.  So here it is…..The more familiar we become with the moral will of God the more we are able to discern the third aspect of God’s will and that is:

Oh well, wait till next time :)
