The bible says that man is created in the image of God; and God created man - soul, body and Spirit. (Genesis 1:26; 1 Thessalonians 5:23) In the same way, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God and God the Father being the Godhead of The Holy Trinity – The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost.
There is Power when God speaks because God Word is Spirit and they are life. God is a Spirit and The Holy Spirit is a Person. (Acts 13:2) But God wants to create men and women; are living beings who can reason like Him. (Proverbs 30:9)
The Soul is a person (Genesis 8:21; Ezekiel 18:20), it is defined as the incorporeal essence of a person or living thing. It is the spiritual principle embodied in human beings, all rational and spiritual beings, or the Universe. It is defined as a person’s total self. (Acts 5:4, *verse 9)
The bible says, when we received Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior, we received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is of God that we may have the mind of Christ so that we may understand what God has freely given us in Him. Our body is a temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells in our midst. (Romans 12:2 ; 1 Corinthians 2:121, Corinthians 3:16)
But regarding this “same attitudes of mind” towards each other, Paul says, “May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Attitude - This is not meaning that we should be in one unity with occults who profess to be Christian. But that it is needed for us as fellow believers in Christ to make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. (Ephesians 4:3) So then Paul say in 1 Corinthians 3:16, "I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow."
And if we have the mind of Christ, His Word in our lives - prompted by His Holy Spirit's who convicts us, we know what God wants us to do. (Matthew 21:12; Romans 15:5-6; 1 Corinthians 2:16, 6:17) And this mind of Christ here is of understanding what the Lord’s good and perfect will for our life is and of knowing the Lord in greater measure for the scripture also say, “Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, or as His counselor has taught Him?” (Isaiah 26:3, 40:13) As it is, our body is a temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells in our midst. (Jeremiah 17:10; Luke 3:7-9; 1 Corinthians 11:27)
What then is in the human will? The human will does not lie in the human heart or in a human’s thinking. The human’s will is in the human mind but what the man really wants. (Genesis 6:5; Joshua 24:15; 2 Chronicles 12:14) Likewise, what is the “Will of God”? The Divine will of God lies in the Soul, The Godhead of the Holy Trinity. (Exodus 32:32-33)
In His own image has God created all mankind. We seek the LORD with our Soul. (Deuteronomy 4:29, 6:5) We worship The LORD in the Spirit and in Truth, but we make music unto the Lord with our mouth and a willing heart, that is the flesh, a corporeal one. (Psalms 119:108; John 4:24; Ephesians 5:19) And God will always be God and man will always be man and there will always be a distinct drawn between God, The Creator and man, the creation. Here we see, the call of God is also His divine will for the children of man, the bible say is irrevocable. (Romans 11:29)
When God put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, God gave them the will of choice. In Christianity, the will of God is not "a fixed term" nor is it passive nor is it merely waiting for something to happen. The bible says, he (Rehoboam) did evil because he had not set his heart on seeking the LORD. Rehoboam was a king of Judah but his heart was not set on God. But because Rehoboam humbled himself, the LORD’s anger turned from him, and he was not totally destroyed. (2 chronicles 12:14)
The dictionary defined "destine" as to set apart or appoint (for a certain purpose or person, or to do something); intend; design. It can also mean to direct, devise, or set apart for a specific purpose or place. (1 Kings 20:42; 1 Kings 22:20, 22:34; Jeremiah 15:2) Hence instead of waiting for something to happen and of leaving it to 'fate' or 'destiny', we pray to God and we implore upon The LORD.
In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amos sent to him and said, “This is what the LORD says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover.” But King Hezekiah wept bitterly before the LORD and The Word of The LORD came to him again, "I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you. On the third day from now you will go up to the temple of the LORD. I will add fifteen years to your life. And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my sake and for the sake of my servant David.’" And God did not bring to pass what He spoke through Isaiah earlier on.
In 2 Chronicles 18:19, Then he (The prophet) said to the king, “This is what the LORD says: ‘You have set free a man I had determined should die. Therefore it is your life for his life, your people for his people.’ ” (1 Kings 20:42) Now, this passage set the contrast for the will of God and the will of man. “And the LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab king of Israel into attacking Ramoth Gilead and going to his death there?’ “One suggested this, and another that.”
And there in Lamentations 3:31-42 tells us, it is not God to deny a man of his rights and to deprive men of justice. And most thing meaning not all thing that has happened, so happened because God has so decreeded or God has allowed - So then who can speak and have it happen? (Lamentations 3:37; Romans 8:28)
But as it is, it is only right that GOD’s Sovereignty will be done to all mankind. So then the bible says, it is the Soul who sins and who shall die. But when a man dies, he is laid low then he breathes his last and is no more. The man who sins is the one who will die but it is the spirit of the man who will be judged ultimately. (Job 14:10; Ecclesiastes 3:21)
In Jeremiah 42:19-22, Jeremiah warned the remnant of Judah not to go to Egypt but they would not obey and so God pronounced judgment upon them. What is the Christian Will of God? The will of God in Christianity is not meaning that we should wait for our destiny or 'fate' to overtake us but as it is, Jesus told his disciples, “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.” (Luke 22:46)
And This is what The LORD said, “If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed, and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned. And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted, and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it.” (Jeremiah 18:7-10; Jonah 4:1-3; Romans 8:5)
What is The Divine Will of God? The Divine will of God lies in the Father - The Godhead of the Holy Trinity. (Matthew 15:21-28, Luke 18:1-8) "For God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?" (Numbers 23:19)
For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. What does this mean? And Jesus said, “Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him.” (John 6:64)
Firstly God so foreknew our existence because He is God. God Himself witnesses our creation. Psalms 139:7-8 says, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonder -fully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Secondly, God keep watch over our every steps and He predestined out our every movement because He is our God. (Psalm 32:9, 91:11)
Psalms 139:15 wrote, “My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” And He, God chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will.
Lastly, He (God) marked our lives, because He (Jesus) is the author and Finisher of our faith, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. (Hebrews 12:2-3) And since it is God who justified us in Christ and we know that we are not under the law, but under grace; sin shall no longer be our master. (Romans 6:14, 8:33-34)
All men have been given a free will (The decision to make choices) in the first place；we are created in the image of God. (Genesis 2:16-17; Jeremiah 26:13, Lamentations 3:31-36; John 6:64; Romans 8:19) But as a Son honor his father, so a man ought to say, "The Lord will be done" and this meaning also whatever the outcome we have leave it to God or whatever God had in mind to do pertaining to His Will - We Bless The LORD. (Psalm 103:1; Malachi 1:6; Isaiah 29:13; Matthew 15:8)
Nevertheless "The Christian Will of God" is never a passive or a fixed term, or else let us eat, drink and make merry for tomorrow we will die but as it is, there is a time for everything. (2 Chronicles 24:19; Ecclesiastes 8:15, 12:1, 12:13-14)
In Matthew 26:42, and He (Jesus) went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.” Proverbs 25:15 says, “Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone. But it is God’s Sole Sovereignty Divine will that His Word should died on the cross for us for justice demands our life but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (compare Numbers 23:19, 2 Kings 20:1)
And God did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus. Now, this is the Divine Will of God for us through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23; John 3:16; Revelation 5:6)
So then, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life set us free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 6:1, 8:31; 1 Corinthians 15:55-56) But our freedom in the Lord however is not for us to do as we like or to do evil. But rather Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Psalm 50:21; John 21:18)In Christianity, there is no such thing as "fated" ! for our destiny is in The Lord’s hands – In The Hands of The LORD God Almighty. (Isaiah 65:12; Jeremiah 15:2)
"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation." (Hebrews 9:27-28)
