Romans 12:2 That Good, and Acceptable and Perfect Will of God

Romans 12:2 (KJV)  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 

As we searched the Scriptures and especially in Romans 8 in proximity to our text in Romans 12:2, we shall find there in verses 28-30 the will of God expressed for every Christian. 

Romans 8:28-30 (KJV) And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

The Lord sovereignly superintends over the lives of His people working out His good plan for each one of us. 

For the believer in Christ, there is now no condemnation (v1-8), and are indwelt by the Holy Spirit giving us victory over the flesh (v9-13), assurance that we are the children of God (v14-16), though presently suffering for Christ’s sake there is a future glory with Christ (17-21), groaning (as a result of the constant battle between the flesh and the Spirit) awaiting the future redemption of the body (v22-25), meanwhile, the Holy Spirit guides us to do the will of God (v26-27) and God will make sure that we are eternally secured in Him and He will ensure that all things will work out for our good, He causes everything in the believer’s life to bring forth His blessing.

Everything that we go through will work out for our good. And the believer is described as one who loves God because God has been very merciful and gracious to save them. One who does not love God does not belong to Him. Amen.
