A Biblical Foundation for the Will of God

The Biblical Foundation for the Will of God

Text: Ephesians 1:4–6

What is the foundation of the will of God? Before the world was ever created, God established an eternal plan centered in Jesus Christ. In this message from Ephesians 1:4-6, we examine the biblical foundation upon which every believer's salvation, sanctification, and future hope securely rests.

The Scriptures reveal that God's will is not built upon changing circumstances or human opinion but upon an unchanging foundation. Jesus Christ is the only true foundation, and the local church is the pillar and ground of the truth. From before the foundation of the world, God's plan was for believers to be in Christ, holy and blameless before him in love, adopted, and conformed to the image of his Son, and ultimately live to the praise of his glory and grace.

Far from being a confusing doctrine, the will of God rests on eternal truths established before creation itself. Discover how God's plan, promises, pleasure, and praise provide an unshakable foundation for every believer.
