Yesterday I asked if people could tell me about Jesus. Who he was/is? Today I am wondering How do we know/discern — the will of God?
How do we define, or understand, what is good and acceptable and perfect? Where are the guidelines written down? And who is it that decides?
Paul eludes to this possibility of confusion (see reading below) when he talks about the various way in which God’s word is communicated (verses 4-8) in this not-so-Godly world he has placed us in. So, if we are to offer ourselves as living sacrifice to God. Doing: what is good and acceptable and perfect. Who is the one source of authority? Is it the Apostle Paul? The Jewish religious leaders of long ago? Or our pastor? Or the self professed Biblical Scholars of today? Who is it that makes clear the call to live acceptable to God?
Don't you wonder?
