The Doctrine of God - Dedication to the Will of God
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." (Romans 12:1)
God's will refers to His purpose for the life of the believer. It implies His guidance or direction in all of life's decisions. Dedication is an act of surrender or submission to His will for our lives whereby we become a "living sacrifice". Daily dependence on God results in our transformation into the image of Christ.
Illustration: When we seek to discern the will of God we must also be committed to doing the will of God as it is revealed in the Word of God (John 7:17).
Application: The believer should evaluate every decision on the basis of biblical principles, knowing that obedience brings God's blessing.
