God's Will

By Editor

God's Will.—God's will is his law. Jesus said, "I delight to do thy will, O my God; yea, thy law is within my heart." Ps. 40:8. The apostle Paul said that the Jews knew God's "will" and approved the things that were "more excellent, being instructed out of his law." It therefore follows that the law is God's will. The seventh-day Sabbath, enjoined by the law, is therefore a part of the will of God. Yet we have before us in a paper an article on "The Christian Sabbath in Prophecy," which is an endeavor to prove that the law of God is not obligatory, and immediately following that is another article on the "Will of God," and that it should be done in us. Now this is what Christ died for, "that the righteousness of the law [God's will] might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Rom. 8:4. But in this uncertain Trumpet the former article tears down what the latter builds up. See Gal. 2:18.
