Last Will

Numbers 14:11 And the Lord said to Moses, “How long will this people despise me? And how long will they not believe in me, in spite of all the signs that I have done among them?

John 5:24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

John 10:38 but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”

John 11:25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,”

John 14:12 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.

John 17:21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.

Jesus, penniless, no property, gave His mother to John and yet wrote the greatest last will and testament ever written.

His Will

John 1:12-13 (English Standard Version)

 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

The issue of being born in the spirit is a matter of choice of when not if.

Matthew 6:10 “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” 

His kingdom came when Jesus became King. His will is done on earth as it is in heaven.

Matthew 25:34 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

His will is the foundational principle.

Ephesians 1:4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us,

It is our destiny to be children of God but when we choose to surrender is a matter of choice.

Since it is not a matter of human will, why did you choose to believe?

Don’t answer that. It doesn’t matter, you will come to love Him.

Ephesians 3:16-19 English Standard Version

 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
