come follow me: God's will in my life

come follow me: God's will in my life by ric gustafson


At some point in our lives, we should ask ourselves one question?. What is God's will for my life?. Being a disciple of God not only transforms our mind and emotions but also our will. When we come to Christ, we die to ourselves. The Apostle Paul stated that he had been crucified with Christ and he no longer lived. It was Christ who lived in him and us. When we follow Jesus, our life needs to be totally surrendered to his will. To be a disciple of Christ is to is to lose our lives in his and surrender our ways to his will.
We need to have a relationship with Jesus. We need to go to him and spend time with him. We need to read his Word and obey it. God's will is that we have a relationship with him every day and all the time. The more that we walk in God's will, he will reveal more of it to us. And the place that he will reveal it is through his Word. From the beginning to the end, God's Word reveals God's will. 
God's will is that we will create , call, save and bless his people. Jesus commands us to go and make disciples of all nations.
In order to do that, we need the Holy Spirit's help. The Spirit will help us to witness, to tell others about Jesus. We need to be led by the Holy Spirit in everything that we do. As we turn to Jesus, he transforms us. As we die to ourselves, we begin to live in him. Our heart is cleansed of sin and filled with the Holy Spirit. Our mind and our way of thinking starts to change. God's will in my life is that I go out and make disciples of all nations for Jesus.
