Hebrews 1:7 “And of the angels He says: "Who makes His angels spirits and His ministers a flame of fire.”   Scripture reveals to us three classes of beings that God has created. He has created angelic beings. He has created the living creatures on the earth. And He has created man. Angels were the first of God’s creations, and part of their make up is a free will given to them by God. So why did God give His angels free will? God has done that so that they can, as an act of t

Romans 5:14 “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.”     Many teach the error that mankind fell when Adam sinned, and that God had to then come up with a plan to restore man to where he was before. And so in response to the fall of man God came up with the plan of salvation. But that is not the truth at all, for God never intended that mank

1 Timothy 2:3-4 “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, (4) who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”     We have seen that God’s will in the earth has two facets to it, i.e. His perfect will and His permissible will. The question is then asked as to whether the salvation of mankind falls within God’s perfect or His permissible will for men. And so in this section we will answer that question by looking at what scri

Luke 11:2 “So He said to them, "When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”   The context of the above quoted passage of scripture is that the Lord’s disciples had asked Him to teach them how to pray. And so in response to their request we have recorded in scripture the passage that is very often referred to as the Lord’s Prayer. In this prayer our Lord gave us some insight into the will o

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.”   Although this series is about the will of man nevertheless we will see that man’s will is completely interlinked with the will of God. And so it is for that reason that it is impossible to understand how the will of man functions unless we have some insight into the will of God as well, which is w
