Subject: Whose will causes a believer to sin? |
Bible Note: DearJesusInMyHrt, You are correct in saying that God does not will us to sin. It is only by His grace that we ever refrain from sin! But God does use our sins as a means to fulfill His eternal purpose (see the story of Joseph and his brothers for an example or Acts 4:26-28) Satan does play a part, but the part of the devil also fulfills God's purpose. There is know way to thwart that which God has planned for each and every member of mankind. Is 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things which have not been done, saying, 'My purpose will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure'; God bless, John Reformed |
