God' Revealed Will

God's will is revealed in His Word, the Bible.

It is God's will that God's revealed will be done on earth.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:10 KJV)

It is God who willed your creation and your ongoing existence.
"Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created." (Revelation 4:11 ESV)

God willed our eternal salvation. God wishes the conversion of every man. He willed Christ's sacrifice on the cross to rescue us from this evil age (Galatians 1:4; Acts 2:23; 4:28). In an even more specific sense, He willed our regeneration (John 1:13; James 1:18). He willed our adoption as sons (Ephesians 1:5). Christ willed to reveal the Father to you (Matthew 11:27). And it is the Father’s will that Christ keep us and not lose any who have come to Him (John 6:39-40).
And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. (John 6:39-40 KJV)
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:12-13 NASB)
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. (James 1:18 KJV)

Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. (Matthew 18:14 KJV)
The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. (2 Peter 3:9 ESV)
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:3-4 KJV)

This man was handed over to you by God's deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross. (Acts 2:23 NIV)
But everything they did was determined beforehand according to your will. (Acts 4:28 NLT)

God willed to give you a spiritual gift according to that which He wanted for you and according to how He wanted you to serve in the body of Christ.
But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills. (1 Corinthians 12:11 NASB)

God wills that we conduct ourselves honorably and submissively even in a pagan world.
Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation. Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. (1 Peter 2:12-15 ESV)

God wills a certain kind of behaviour for men in His church: that they model His concern for mankind by praying always, everywhere, for everyone (1 Timothy 2:1-8).

God wills a certain kind of behavior for women in His church: that they be modest, appropriate, and reserved (submissive), and that younger widows remarry and have children (1 Timothy 2:9-12; 5:14).
Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, claim to godliness. A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. (1 Timothy 2:9-12 NASB)
So I would have younger widows marry, bear children, manage their households, and give the adversary no occasion for slander. (1 Timothy 5:14 ESV)

God wills that sometimes we suffer for doing right (1 Peter 3:17; 4:2, 19).
For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. (1 Peter 3:17 KJV)
Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. (1 Peter 4:1-2 NASB)
Therefore let those who suffer according to God’s will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good. (1 Peter 4:19 ESV)

God wills that you live a sexually pure life.
For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: that every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: that no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. (1 Thessalonians 4:3-7 KJV)

God wills that you live a thankful life.
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. (1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV)
