A Greater Will Than Our Own
In this sermon A Greater Will Than Our Own, the Bible teaches that we must sacrifice our own wills for the will of God. It is for those who are growing and want to know what it is to be mature. Our personal wills are naturally concerned with ourselves and benefiting ourselves. Making ourselves enjoy what we can enjoy and as comfortable as we can be. It is thinking of what would benefit ourselves. Satisfying our desires and interests. In itself, this is fine. But our wills should not be above everybody else's wills. It is even a great concern of ours to get to heaven one day. But God has a more important will. A greater concern. He wants everyone to get to Heaven one day. We want comfort for ourselves, while God wants Heaven for everyone forever. We have individual wills that seek to meet our personal needs, and we will to see our needs met. But God has promised to us that if we will put our personal wills aside for concern ourselves over His will, then He will make sure our needs are taken care of.
