The Will of God (3 of 4)
Series: The Will of God
Lenny Ports
Over the last 2 weeks, I have been talking about the WILL OF GOD. In our first week, I gave the introduction where we defined the word "WILL" from the webster's dictionary and then translated those definitions into what the word of God says about the WILL OF GOD.
3 things:
1. something desired - that God has a dream for your life.
2. a disposition to act according to principles - that the will of God is found in the word of God,

You see at salvation, you were declared JUSTIFIED in the courts of heaven, not based on what you have done, but based on what He has done. You are declared JUSTIFIED, RIGHTEOUS, HOLY, SANCTIFIED, PURE.
1 Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived.

But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
I love it - past tense - such WERE some of you, but you WE ...
