“Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.”( Psa.143:10)
Will; Disposition; inclination; desire. Divine determination; moral purpose or counsel.
What is the will of God concerning man, we are to come out from among the world and be a separated people, that all men should come into repentance and not perish and to believe in the Son. We are in the world but not of the world, we see the things that the world sees, we hear what the world hears, we feel what the world feels, but are transformed into the kingdom of Gods dear Son. We are hated because we do not run after the world doing those things that the unbelievers desire to do; we do not riot as the world riots in excess of want.
We are political at times but we do not hold our politics above the moral purpose that God has established, we do not hold men’s admiration above what’s right and wrong, nor above our God and Saviour. We do not accept being politically correct but follow after truth, for being politically correct means to abandon the commandments, judgments and morals that our Lord has taught us. For it is the counsel of the Lord that we hold dear. We seek out Gods will above all else, we seek out His divine determination in our lives and for our lives, for we have no fear of men but only of God.
Morality today has given way to peace and equality at any cost, even to the abandonment of virtue and truth, men not wanting to save their soul, men not wanting to acknowledge the existence of God. Men make laws and then break them, God makes laws and fulfills them, men try to change time, while God created it, men deny the existence of God and God created men, men try to conquer space and God shall destroy it.
Every man is a liar, God on the other hand cannot lie for it is against His very nature. Men seek out the pleasures of the flesh and we seek out the pleasures of righteousness, for we cannot please God in the flesh but only in the spirit, for God is spirit.
As each man accepts Jesus as Lord and Christ, he comes out from among the world, he seeks not power, riches, fame, nor does he seek to please mankind. We worry not about tomorrow and seek not evil, we hold Gods word as being the light of our lives and the light of the world. We walk a different path, dance a different dance, and march to a different drummer.
God has established His covenant with man whereas according to Webster’s definition is the covenant of grace, is that by which God engages to bestow salvation on man, upon the condition that man shall believe in Christ and yield obedience to the terms of the gospel. These terms are set down in the Gospel, anything that is not of faith is sin, unrighteousness is against righteousness, Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, what God has declared to be an abomination will not change, and our hope is in the resurrection of Christ. For if Christ raised not then we are of all men most miserable. But Christ did raise and we shall also rise with Him, being perfected by His glory and clothed by the righteousness of God.
Many who do not know the Lord nor His word mock all who will believe. We are hated but Christ was hated first. Many do not understand the difference between the law and grace, many do not understand the convenient between Israel and the New Testament convenient between God and all mankind, for there is a difference. For after Christ there is no more excuse, no more sacrifice for sin. We are in the world but not of the world.
