What does the Bible say about the knowledge of God's will?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that the knowledge of God's will is to understand His purpose for all creation and especially in salvation.
In Colossians 1:9, Paul expresses his desire for believers to be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. This knowledge is not merely temporal or related to personal choices but is rooted in the understanding of God's sovereign purpose. It recognizes that God's will encompasses His redemptive plan for His chosen people, established before the foundation of the world. This understanding leads us into a deeper relationship with Christ, enabling us to walk by faith rather than requiring a detailed roadmap of our lives. The essence of knowing God's will is centered on knowing Him as Lord and rejoicing in His sovereign reign over all.
