God's Will on Earth

God's Will on Earth

                In the Lord's Prayer found in the Bible, as being taught by Jesus to His disciples, a line reads 'Your will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven'. Now, this Will, would exist among whom? Will it cut across all mankind or will it exist only amongst those who acknowledge and worship God, through His only begotten Son, Jesus the Christ.

                This is a foundational question that, I believe, Christians need in their lives. So what is the answer therein? 'Your will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven'. What does God, Will in Heaven, that Jesus asks to be done on Earth. Firstly, we know that Righteousness does not exist in all places on earth, so people follow follow their own paths; Lovers of self more than more than God, fulfilling their own ambitions and desires.

                Does God's Will exist on earth or will it exist in the coming future? Does it follow that God's Plan and Will are the same thing? Day in, day out, we are plagued with the sinful nature of man and the wickedness thereof.

                God's will on earth is done through people who believe in Him, Christians. And this can be noted in human expression, one to another, obeying the Spirit of God in all things and not the Lustful desires of the flesh. In Genesis, Chapter 1, when man was created, God Willed for man to be Blessed; to be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth and subdue it, Having dominion over every living thing that moves upon the earth.

                This was corrupted by the fall of man through sin and disobedience. This cost man the simplicity of Life as God had given it. Centuries later, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came down to earth as a mere man to pay the price of the sin of mankind, to return man to the original place of abiding in God's Will. According to matthew, Chapter 4, God's will is for His children, those who have denounced their sinful nature and come back to God through Jesus, to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world, to be a blessing and be blessed, sharing God's goodness to all of mankind.

                Abiding in the Will of God, gives peace, unity and prosperity to everyone and this is God's will on earth, that mankind would prosper even as his soul prospers.
