Do you think that carrying out the will of God is very important to Jesus, our Savior? Yes, indeed, it is! The Bible has quite a bit to say on this subject.
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. (Mt 12:50, underscoring added) Accomplishing the will of God on this earth qualifies us to be members of the family of God.
But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.” (Lk 8:21) Those who are members of the family of God, not only hear the word of God but we perform it. Jesus says so.
You are my friends if you do what I command you. (Joh 15:14) I want to be a friend of Jesus and a friend of God. There is only one way to be God’s friend, and that is to carry out the will of God.
And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. (1 Joh 2:17) One of God’s precious promises to us is that all who do the will of God will live forever.
Meditating upon the Bible, honoring the Word of God, and continuously executing the instructions found within its pages will make us people who “do the will of God” and earn God’s favor and His blessings. Hallelujah!
