Summary:
There is a simple answer to finding God's unique will for your life. When you obey the universal will of God, your obedience triggers your experience of the unique will of God for your life. Of course, that raises the question, "What is the universal will of God?" God has revealed four specific universal commands, or wills, and this book is about each. Though there is more to God's universal will than these four, it is as though God declares, "Start here!" What are these four? Dr. Emerson Eggerichs teaches readers that when you do these four universal wills, your obedience triggers your experience of God's unique will from John 6:40, I Thessalonians 5:18, I Peter 2:13-15, and I Thessalonians 4:3: believe in Jesus Christ, give thanks in everything, submit in doing right, and abstain from sexual sin. You do not fret and worry that you are missing his will. You are doing his universal will and pleasing him. As long as you are believing in Jesus Christ, giving thanks in everything, submitting in doing right, and abstaining from sexual sin, you are free to do as you wish based on your judgment about what seems good and best.
