The Perfect Will Of God

Romans 12:2
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Understanding the perfect will of God comes through first recognising who and what scriptures represent and their eternal significance and importance. Too many of God’s children do not yet understand what the scriptures are. The scriptures are language containers of the Spirit Word Of God. They contain the essence of the Spirit of the Creator Himself.

The scriptures are the perfect will of God. This means that they provide us with the accurate revelation of God’s intentions, plans and desires for a person, a people, a place, a time or a thing.

I grew up as Christian during a time where there was an understanding that the scriptures were the general will of God, and the Holy Spirit was the source of the perfect will of God. My spirit always had a problem with this, until I found out #whatthewordsays.

It’s important to note that the scriptures are the perfect will of God, and the Holy Spirit guides us into the specific details of His will. While the scriptures don’t explicitly tell us every specific choice or decision we should make, they are the perfect will of God and the source for which the Holy Spirit can direct us into the specifics. By aligning ourselves with the Word of God and following what it says, we can be assured that we are walking in His perfect will.

Jesus Himself valued the scriptures and acknowledged their significance. He had a relationship with the scriptures.  He declared that He came to fulfil what was written about Him in the scriptures. Jesus’ relationship with the scriptures demonstrates the importance of the written Word. If the scriptures were this important in Jesus’s life, how much more you?

It was written in the scriptures that Jesus would enter Jerusalem riding on a donkey, and He fulfilled this prophecy by instructing His disciples to bring Him a donkey that had been prepared. Jesus’ obedience to what was written of Him exemplifies His alignment with the perfect will of God. Therefore, it is crucial to meditate and rely on the scriptures for every aspect of our lives, as they reveal God’s perfect will for us, and in so doing the Holy Spirit will give us clear specifics of His will.
