What is God's Will?

What is God's will? Is it possible to transgress God's will? What exactly are the parameters of God's will? These are questions that you may have asked yourself at one time or another.

You don't have to read the entire Bible to find God's will. God's will is summarized in the following Bible passages.

Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
~Matthew 22:37-40 NIV

If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.
~Matthew 21:22 NIV

So basically God's will consists of loving God and people, and praying for your needs to be met and believing that they're being met. That's it.

If you're doing these things, then you're following God's will. If you're following God's will, then you're living your life successfully.
