The will of God toward men

The will of God toward man means everything that God wishes to happen in heaven and on earth. An example would the first part of the Lord's prayer. Jesus teaches us to pray that God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:9-10). 
            There are five things (wills of God) found in scripture. We are to be sexually pure (1 Thessalonians 4:3-8). We are to be filled with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:17-18). We need to understand that believers will suffer (1 Peter 4:19). We are to give thanks always (1 Thessalonians 5:18). We are to submit to our government (1 Peter 2:13-15). 

To know what the will of God is for us we must first know what God's will is, and we must want His will to be.
