How to Be Lead from Inside -- Know Christ and Him Crucified

10For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

11And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

12For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more." (Hebrews 8: 10-12)

Many people want to know the Will of God.

We know the will of God as we renew our minds to the truth of the Gospel:

"1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." (Romans 12: 2)

We present our bodies a living sacrifice, in that we allow Jesus Christ to live in us and through us (Galatians 2: 20-21, Ephesians 2: 10; Philippians 2: 12-13; Colossians 1: 29).

We do this because we have peace with God (Romans 5: 1). We trust Him because He sent us Son to die for us, even while we were still sinners (Romans 5: 8). As we learn to reckon, or more simply recognize that we are dead to the condemnation of sin (Romans 6: 10-11), we see ourselves separated forever from the curse of Adam and alive in Christ (Romans 7), that there is no condemnation in Christ (Romans 8: 1)

As we grow in grace and knowledge of the Lord (2 Peter 3: 18), we allow Christ to lead us from the inside, seeing that He has and is and ever will take care of all things for us.
