God's will

This is the first post of several, not sure of how many (or few for that matter). I want to try and answer that age old question that everyone seems to ask, “What is God’s will for my life?” It is a great question and I am hoping to appeal to more people then just Christians in my answer. For surely, the question, “what is God’s will,” is far more then just a Christian question, in fact, I am quite certain that it is a universal question. Since it is universal in scope I am hoping that a few non-Christians will take interest in this series. I hope that in answering the question, it may remove some of the barriers and hindrances that keep people from believing in the God of the Bible, namely Jesus Christ. So the scope of this writing will be evangelical and Christian, with no shame.
I will rest my authority and answers on scripture and not much else, for, only so far as I am faithful to scripture can I be right in my answer. I cannot, nor do I, pretend to have the answer in myself and my understanding, it is, after all a question that I have (and do) wrestle with myself. My only confidence in answering the question will be the confidence of the accuracy, inerrancy and perfection of God’s word, the Bible. I hope that my writing will be saturated in scripture and I hope that does not turn you off from reading. I am being honest about my motives and intentions, I do have an agenda, and that agenda is that men, you and me included, would be drawn to Jesus. Still reading? Good.
The first post will be on the calling to faith. The second post will be on faithfulness. These are two separate things but inseparable. I will start with the calling to faith or to believe, for this must surely come before faithfulness, faithfulness being the outworking of faith and since faith proceeds faithfulness we will start there. Hopefully, over the next week I will have it written and posted. I want to tackle at some point in this series, “suffering,” for how can one explore the will of God without tackling the question of suffering and difficulty.
Well, that pretty much sets up the context of what I want to cover. Thanks for reading, looking forward to exploring this with you.
