CHAPTER ONE
THE WILL OF MAN
It was no coincidence that God created man on the sixth day.
Genesis 1:26-31 (NKJV)
26 Then God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.
27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.
29 And God said, See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. 30 Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food
; and it was so. 31 Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
God does not fumble or do things by happenstance. He is the all-knowing God and He knew what He was doing. The scripture says that Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God slain from the foundations of the world.
Revelation 13:8 (NKJV)
All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Long before the earth was created, God had already given His Son as a ransom for mankind. God knows everything, but He does not determine everything. He left some things to the will of man.
Deuteronomy 30:19 (NKJV)
I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;
Joshua 24:15 (NKJV)
And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
1 Samuel 8:19-20 (NKJV)
19 Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, No, but we will have a king over us, 20 that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.
God created man with a will. That will is what God wanted to see when He created him. The will of man is what sets him apart from all other creatures. In fact, the image of God that man was created in is seen in this; that man has a will. The will of man creates and implements. Planes, roads, wars, peace, computers and so much more are all here by the creative will of man.
The will of man is what resembles God in power. In fact one can say, God created a will and called it man.
For this reason, God was obligated to redeem this will (man) when he fell. Man was His will. It is only man who has the power over his own will. He can choose to rebel against God and God can do nothing about it, or he can decide to yield to God and enjoy all the benefits that come with doing so.
When God planned to save Noah, He told him, "Make yourself an ark of gopher wood... Genesis 6:14 (NKJV). God did not say, Build Me an ark.
He was in essence telling His will (Noah) to build an ark. Once man (the will, the image of God) surrenders to God, man will become a super-man.
Jesus kept on saying while He was here, that He was here to do the Father’s will, not His own.
John 4:34 (NKJV)
Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.
John 5:30 (NKJV)
I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus surrendered to the will of God.
Matthew 26:39
He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.
Jesus was submitted to God’s will. He could have changed His mind and refused to endure the cross and the Father probably wouldn’t have done anything about it since God cannot oppose Himself.
When man sinned in Genesis 3, God closed the door to the Garden of Eden because man had deliberately gone against His will.
Genesis 3:22-24 (KJV)
22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: 23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
But even then, God did not totally wipe out man because he was God’s will. The will of man moves God. Whether it is in obedience or in disobedience, it will move God. For instance, in Genesis 1, God had told man to populate the earth, but in Genesis 11, man instead rebelled and begun to build the Tower of Babel with the intention to reach heaven, contrary to God’s will. This brought God down to the earth where he confused man’s languages in that men could no longer understand each other.
Genesis 11:1-9 (NKJV)
1 Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. 3 Then they said to one another, Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.
They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. 4 And they said, Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.
5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. 6 And the Lord said, Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. 7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. 9 Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the
