Walking in God’s Will
Welcome to Living Word Cast!
I’m Pastor Michael Chilcott, coming to you from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This podcast exists to proclaim, teach, and explore the Word of God together. Our goal is to provide sound theological and biblical guidance on all things Scripture, helping you grow deeper in your understanding of the Bible and your relationship with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Whether you’re seeking answers, encouragement, or a closer walk with God, this podcast is here to help you stay firmly rooted in the truth of God’s Word.
Today, we will discuss three crucial questions that every Christian wrestles with:
How do we know the will of God?
What law of God are we supposed to follow?
How do we know God’s plans and purpose for our lives?
How Do We Know the Will of God?
1. The Two Aspects of God’s Will
The Bible speaks of God’s will in two primary ways: His revealed will (what He has made known in Scripture) and His secret will (His sovereign plan that we do not always see).
Deuteronomy 29:29 – "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law."
God’s secret will includes everything He sovereignly decrees (such as His plan for history and individual lives), while His revealed will is what He commands us to obey in Scripture.
