Critical Issues Commentary | God’s Will and Christian Liberty, Part 4 – Understanding the Perfect Will of God @CICministry | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
In this episode we refute the claim that there is a third will of God besides His providential will and His moral will – the perfect will of God. Those who hold this position claim that we must hear from God directly in order to determine this “perfect” will. We show that in Romans 12:2 the perfect will of God is not the bullseye with good and acceptable being outside of the center. In this verse “good”, “acceptable,” and “perfect” are all modifying the same thing – the moral will of God. We show that “proving” is thinking and living according to what God has revealed as true. We are transformed not by direct revelation from God, but through following the revealed word of God in Scripture.
