Living in the will of God?

How many people in this world are truly living in the will of God? I image that there are many that are not true Christian, and they know it.

John 7:17 17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. 18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.  

Many people will know how to repent, but many will fall away from the truth, and few will enter in to heaven.

Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

When a person converts from darkness unto light for the glory of the Lord they hold that which is pleasing unto God, not man.

I Peter 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

Ephesians 4: 1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

We are here not to entertain man, but we are here to glorify God in the spirit. Because the spirit is greater than our flesh, it doesn't seek for the cares of the world, but the for the need of the glory of God. If we obey the spirit of God we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

 I John 2:15 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.  

True faithful God fearing children of the Lord are persecuted all the time  

John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Psalms 44:21-22 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.22Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

Don't be surprised if the world hates you, or doesn't treat you well. The Love, and glory of God lives in you, this is why they treat you differently.     

I John 3:13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

I John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

I Peter 4: Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

Christian don't take a vacation's on God. (We) as believers in Jesus Christ, are to live in holiness as God expects us to live.

I Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

How would you judge a church that is living in the will of God? If the name of the church is called "Church of Jesus Christ", let's just say If you would walk into this church and, you would see all matters of evil things, and things pertain to the cares of the world, what type of temple would you think it would be?  

I Corinthians 3:16-17 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

I John 2:15-16 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world

Are you ready to live the way Jesus Christ is please with? Lets clean up our temple which is our bodies. And let's start from the inside, and reflect the glory of God on the outside.
