Opposing the Moral Will of God
Opposing God’s will and our efforts to live it out
Ephesians 5:15–21
Samson and Delilah: Judges
Not abiding in the Lord, having clear and present sin in their lives presuming they know God’s Will. Even when living in sin, God will still bless me.
Why might we oppose God’s will and accomplish our own will?
Lack of faith for him to do it
Lack of faith in God’s timing
Lack of comprehension of the Bible
Believing I make better choices for my life than God
What will likely be the result of our efforts?
Luke warm faith
Not seeing God’s movement
Not feeling the presence of God
Falling out of unity with God and his church
Conflict and Strife
Brokenness and hurt
