“If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself.” (John 7:17)

The key to living today’s verse is being willing to do God’s will, and in order to do that we have to know God’s will! We have to prove what is acceptable to the Lord and to understand His will. {Eph.5:10,17} If we do not, we are not, and cannot be, part of the church of God!



The true church is not an organization run by men, it is a living organism with Christ as the head. What we call church is simply a gathering of the family of God—if even only two or three. {Mat.18:20} Jesus made that quite clear when He was speaking to multitudes and someone approached Him saying that His mother and brothers were seeking to speak with Him. He responded saying that His mother and His brothers were those who do the will of His Father in heaven. {Mat.12:47-50} What a difference it would make if we will actually believe and live that simple truth!



That is a truth that will free us from being conformed to this world and transform us, renewing our minds so that we will prove what the will of God is—and His truth is good and acceptable and perfect, just as the apostle Paul wrote. {Rom.12:2} Do not lose sight of the fact that the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. {1Tim.1:5} That is surely the will of God!



The Lord spoke through the prophet Hosea to say He delights in loyalty, steadfast love, rather than sacrifice, and in the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. {Hos.6:6) And again through Micah, “He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:8) Just more expressions of His will.



And to add one more log to that Holy Fire, consider this irrefutable declaration of His perfect will: “Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” {1Thes.5:16-18} So keep this thought in your mind, ‘going to church’ does not make you right with God. Being the church, His family, accomplishes that because it was the Father’s will to make us the very righteousness of God in Jesus. {2 Cor.5:21}



Doing God’s will, will never be a burden but rather, bring us life and peace. {Rom.8:6} Again, that is God’s will for us!



“For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,” (Romans 8:14-16)
