The ULTIMATE Catch 22

Many times we find ourselves asking, "What is God's will in my life?"
We find His will in the Word, as we learn of His plan for humanity and His character.
What does the Word say about His will for us?

"Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all else will be added unto you..."
"Love the Lord your God with all you heart, all your mind, and all your soul..."

So we see that His will for us, above all else, is to love Him first. He is a jealous God.

What does it mean to love God? Once again, we turn to His Word.

"If you love me, obey my commands..."

Our love for God is made manifest is obedience. We are to obey His commands as the perfect loving father.

What are His commands? From the Word...

"Love God, and love people - this sums up all the law and teachings of the prophets".

Therefore, to know God's will, we are to love Him and to love Him we are to obey His commands. To obey His commands, we are to love Him.

This is commonly known as a circular reference, or the ULTIMATE CATCH 22!
