Seeking God's Will  
     
 
The Will of the God is . . .If you are not a disciple of Jesus He desires to forgive you of your sins and to have you eventually live with Him forever. In 1 John 3:23 He expresses this desire as a command. Sometimes we need a command to understand the serious situation we are in - I know I do. What this really means is that you have a responsibility.

This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us. (NASB) 1 John 3:23

The command is very obvious - believe in the name of Jesus. If you do believe, your heart will be alive with the life of God (John 7:38-39). You will know that you belong to Jesus because 1 John 5:10 says,

He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.

If you do not believe, you have called God a liar because He is claiming that Jesus is God and that He died for your sins and you have denied His claim.
