What is God’s will according to Billy Graham
Billy Graham discusses the concept of God’s will for born again believers. He argues that God reveals His will to the redeemed and not to fortune tellers, stressing Romans 12:2 as a guide. He lists aims such as salvation, sanctification, prayer, gratitude, upright living, and love among Christians. The Holy Spirit empowers believers to do God’s will once known.
