1. HOW TO KNOW
GOD’S WILL FOR
YOUR LIFE!
I CORINTHIANS
16:5-9

2. THE TRADITIONAL VIEW:
“God’s Will” has 2 “parts”…
God’s God’s
Perfect Permissive
Will Will

3. A MORE BIBLICAL VIEW:
God’s Will has 3 “parts”…
• God’s Sovereign Will…His
“Determinative Will”
• God’s “Moral Will”…His
“Desirous Will”
• God’s “Personal Will”

4. DECISION-MAKING…
Finding God’s Personal Will:
The Way of Wisdom!
A Model:
A child
playing on a playground...
inside a protective fence

5. Within the boundaries of
the Moral Will of God,
the believer is free
and responsible
to make his own decisions,
using Scriptural principles,
wisdom,
and spiritual maturity.
