Jan 4, 2022 · God does not become merely a part of our lives, He IS our life (Galatians 2:20). To do what God wants us to do, we grow in our faith, continuing to surrender more and more areas of our lives to His control. We daily deny ourselves, take up our crosses, and follow Him (Luke 9:23).

One of the most important things God wants us to do is forgive others. It’s one of the most important because God forgiving us depends on if we forgive others. Jesus made this clear in Matthew 6. Right after he taught the disciples how they should pray He said: It can’t get any clearer than that. Is there currently someone you need to forgive? Don’...
Another thing God wants us to do is to look after widows and orphans. While confronting those who consider themselves religious but can’t control their tongue, James 1:21 says: In actuality, this verse states two things God wants us to do, but we’ll leave the second part for the next section. Those who are distressed matter to God and he wants them...
Following up on the last point, James 1:21 also indicated that God wants us to keep ourselves from being polluted by the world. You’ve probably heard it said before “be in the world but not of the world” or “you are the light of the world”. Besides James 1:21, other scriptures show that God wants us to keep ourselves pure. Speaking of marriage, Eph...
The next thing God wants us to do is to seek first his kingdom and righteousness. While telling his audience that they shouldn’t worry about their basic needs, Jesus said “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well”. Well, what is God’s kingdom and righteousness you might ask? His Kingdom is ...
God also wants us to serve others. After a mother asked Jesus to grant her sons seats to his left and right when he came into his Kingdom, Jesus used the opportunity to teach his disciples about the desire to become great. He told them “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave” (...
Similar to serving others, God wants us to be generous. Psalms 24:1 states that “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;” (NIV). Understanding that, we should treat the things we possess as God’s assets. God wants us to be prepared to give things away at any moment. “But I worked for those things” you might...
If you are a believer, this one shouldn’t come as a surprise. God not only wants us to accept the gospel but also to share it. To his disciples, Jesus said, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation” (Mark 16:15 NIV). If we are his disciples we are to do the same. It doesn’t mean we have to leave our jobs and do it full time, but...
Another thing God wants us to do is to manage the earth. This includes making use of everything He gave us and showing Him a return. Did you know that’s why God created us in the first place? In Genesis 1:28 God told man: A great parable that further shows God wants us to manage what He gave us is the Parable of the Talents. Jesus likens God’s King...
God also wants us to pray. Teaching his listeners how they should pray, Jesus in Matthew 6:5 began by saying “And when you pray…” (NIV). Notice He said “when” rather than “if”. This shows that He expects us to pray. Another verse says “pray continually” (1 Thessalonians 5:17 NIV). When we pray, we partner with God to make things happen on earth. Sa...
Lastly, God wants us to apply his word. Without application, all of the things you learned in this article will be for nothing. Addressing those who don’t obey, Jesus said “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? (Luke 6:46 NIV). He went on to describe everyone that hears his words and puts them into practice as a builder that b...

Jun 23, 2021 · Even Jesus gave us a new commandment to obey. But God created us as human beings, not human doings. In this article, we’ll cover the most important thing God wants us to do, the difference between doing and being, and then what God wants us to be.

Aug 18, 2016 · What are the main things God asks us to do? 1. Believe in Jesus. “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household,” Acts 16:31. Understand because of your sin you deserve to be separated from God for eternity, but through the sacrifice of Jesus, you can be saved from punishment and can spend eternity with Him.

Our minds get in a new rhythm of seeing what He wants us to see so we can do what He wants us to do.
