Presentation transcript:

 (James 2:23) "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend.  (James 4:4) You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

 (Deuteronomy 17:14-15) When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you and have taken possession of it and settled in it, and you say, "Let us set a king over us like all the nations around us," {15} be sure to appoint over you the king the LORD your God chooses…

PERMISSIVE WILL OF GOD: Sin and effects – Any evil God allows yet uses for His glory GOD’S SOVEREIGN WILL God controls all that happens, but God lets man decide some of those things PREFERENTIAL WILL OF GOD: God’s desire – All God wants “Good” things “Bad” things All to be saved – 2 Peter 3:9 Sexual purity – 1 Thess. 4:3Israel’s king – 1 Sam. 8 PRESCRIPTIVE WILL OF GOD: God’s standards – All God asks Joseph a slave – Gen. 50

 (1 John 2:15-16) Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  {16} For everything in the world--the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does--comes not from the Father but from the world.

 (2 Corinthians 6:17-18) "Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you." {18} "I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”

 (Psalms 73:23-26) Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. {24} You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. {25} Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. {26} My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
