How
to search for God's will
in your life
-
God's
passion, your task!
Have you ever asked yourself:
“What is God’s
ultimate passion?”
And not only that, but
“What is His central
motivation?”
WHAT
IS GOD’S WILL FOR
MY LIFE?!! At some point
all Christians who earnestly
seek God ask this question.
What most of them don’t
know is that God has already
laid out for us His will
for each of our lives.
God wants us to be part
of His plan to bless all
the people groups of the
earth with an intimate
relationship with Himself
through His Son, Jesus.
Don’t
believe that is God’s
will for you? Don’t
take my word for it—check
it out for yourself.
God
first unfolded His plan
for you in Genesis 12:1-3
when He spoke His plan
to Abram. Look at the
last half of verse 3:
“and all peoples
(i.e. people groups) on
earth will be blessed
through you” (NIV).
God repeated this plan
four other times in Genesis
alone to make sure His
people caught the vision
(see Genesis 18:17-19,
22:16-18, 26:2-5, 28:13-15).
Since
God’s people didn’t
get it, the prophet Isaiah
had to get on the horn
and remind God’s
people that they are to
be a light to the Gentiles
(i.e. all non-Jewish peoples
of the world) in Isaiah
49:5-6. Jesus then repeated
the call in Matthew 28:18-20
(also recorded in Acts
1:8).
Finally,
John wrote about the result
of our lives in Revelation
7:9-10. Peoples from all
nations, tribes, tongues
and languages will be
around God’s throne
worshiping Him at the
end of time because God’s
people clued in to His
plan—His will for
their lives. That means
you. That means me. We
matter in God’s
plan to bring the nations
to salvation through Jesus
Christ.

heart for the nations

Bible and God’s
will.

passion—for YOU
and for ALL people of
