What does the Bible say about God's will being done on earth?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God's will is to be done on earth as it is in heaven, emphasizing His sovereignty and the importance of submission to His plan.

In Matthew 6:10, Jesus instructs His followers to pray that God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven. This reflects the belief that God's sovereignty extends over all creation, both heavenly and earthly. As believers, we are called to yield to this divine will, even when it brings hardship or loss into our lives. Spurgeon emphasizes that true faith involves not just acquiescence to God's plan but a rejoicing in it, recognizing that His will, shaped by infinite wisdom, is ultimately for our good and His glory. This submission is rooted in the understanding that God's ways are higher than our own, and even when we do not grasp the reasons behind His actions, we are to trust in His perfect order and timing.
