Asking the question, “What God Wants From All Of Us?” tends to lead us to think about obligation, duty, or requirement in the same way that asking, “What does our spouse expect”, or “What does the boss want?” leads us to consider our responsibilities. However, God starts with us in a different place. God does not create a covenant relationship with us that requires responsibility on our part so that he can find a way to be good to us. Instead, God enters a relationship with us in which he overwhelms us with the evidence of his commitment and the scandalizing demonstration of his love (see the cross), that not only wins us into relationship with him, but also supplies the means of the transformation that is best for us. In summary, God supplies everything we need so that we can find increasing satisfaction as we choose to live for His glory.
