God's Will

“For this is the will of God, your sanctification.” (1 Thess 4:3)

"Those who cleanse themselves ... will be instruments for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work." (2 Tim 2:21)

When I hear the will of God referred to, it is almost always in the context of making a decision, like moving, staying at the same job or taking another, or choosing a school. I think that more emphasis should be placed on becoming more Christ like in character. If we become more like Jesus, then wherever we live, work, or go to school, or whatever we do, we will be better able to shine His light in that situation.

“We might think that God wanted simply obedience to a set of rules: whereas He really wants people of a particular sort." (C.S. Lewis)
