Answered in 1 source
Understanding the will of God helps Christians to live in accordance with His purpose and grow in spiritual knowledge.
Understanding the will of God is crucial for Christians as it provides guidance on how to live a life that is pleasing to Him. Colossians 1:9 teaches that knowledge of His will leads to wisdom and spiritual understanding. This understanding equips believers to 'walk worthy of the Lord' and bear fruit in every good work. By grasping God's sovereign purposes, Christians can endure trials with patience and joy, knowing that God's will is ultimately for their good and His glory. This reflects the beauty of sovereign grace, where God’s plan encompasses both individual lives and the overarching redemptive history.
