When Will The Will Of God Be Done?

In light of current events, there seems to be a sense of worry and anxiousness concerning the future. With so many tragedies constantly happening in the world, hopelessness continues to loom and people want to know, when will the will of God be done?

According to the Bible, God’s Will will be done at the conclusion of the Great White Throne Judgement described in Revalations 20:11-15. This is the final reckoning between light and darkness, good and evil when all that offends will be cast into the lake of fire outlined in verse 15.

God’s will being done ultimately is the restoring of the earth to its original state before the fall of Adam and Eve. Prior to His will being done the whole of mankind has a choice to make as to whether it wants to accept God’s restoration plan or not, this is the point that we are at now. So what role will man play in God’s will being done on earth? Let’s take a closer look and see…

How Is The Will Of God Being Done?

In Genesis, the first chapter God creates the heavens and the earth. At the end of chapter one, God looked at what He created and said it is good. There was no evil, sickness, pain, hatred, or any such thing. The man, Adam was also created during this time. When God created mankind, the man was never intended to operate apart from God. The man was always intended to follow God’s instructions. It was the will of God that His newly formed creation would live and thrive under His guidance and leadership. Genesis 1:31 says, “And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day”.

As we all know this beautiful state of being wouldn’t last long because in the third chapter we know that Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate of the tree that God told them not to. Now, for the first time, man was out of the will of God. From this point God began to construct a plan of restoration for all of mankind. God is a righteous God that can not tolerate sin of any kind. Romans 6:23 says that the wages of sin is death, thus the reason for all of the sacrifices in the old testament.

These sacrifices were a temporary fix to the problem and actually pointed to God’s permanent plan to restore man, Jesus Christ. Now that I’ve given you the background in part, the question then becomes, how is God’s will being done now after all of the mess that was created by Adam and Eve’s disobedience? Well, as I said above, we are in a sifting or separating period at this time meaning that because of the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ we now have the opportunity to be restored back to God through faith in what He has done.

Not only do we have the opportunity to be restored to God but we also have the opportunity to participate in and contribute to the restoring of God’s will on the earth.

Does Man Contribute To The Will Of God Being Done?

Man’s contribution to the will of God being done on earth is done through what is widely known as the “great commission”. Remember, God’s will is to restore the earth back to what it was when it was created and He said it was good. The way we are able to do that is by telling as many people as possible about Jesus Christ and Him crucified to the saving of their souls. In John 3:3 Jesus says this, “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God”.

Throughout all Biblical history, God has used man to evangelize, inform, and encourage humanity to return to Himself. The story of God’s salvation plan is weaved through out all of the scriptures and no matter where you find it, it always points to Jesus Christ and Him crucified. So yes, we contribute to God’s will being done by simple sharing the gospel.

What Will Earth Be Like After The Will Of God Is Done?

As I eluded to above, when God’s will is finally done on earth the earth will look and feel vastly different that what we now know and understand of it. In thinking about this there will be somethings that will have to be left to the imagination, however; in the book of Revalations we do see a glimpse into what is to come. For example Revelations 21:1 says, “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea”. A new heaven and new earth will be necessary because sin has corrupted the former ones but also because of the war of Armageddon.

We know from the scripture that in the new heaven and new earth there will be no sickness pain and disease. We can find joy and comfort in the words of Revalation 21:4, “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away”. As I said before we are in a purging process right now and those who choose to aligne themselves with God can do so now and those who don’t won’t be able to do so later.

Revalation 21:8 tells us, “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death”. Friends, the time to accept Jesus as your savior from the wrath to come is now. We must seek God while He may be found because just like In the days of Noah, once the door to the ark was shut there was no hope. I encourage you, whoever you are, where ever you are to give your life to God today while He can be found, in Jesus name…
