  21. Sacrificing YOUR WILL to GOD’S WILL – Matthew 7:21 • “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven; • BUT HE WHODOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER Who is in heaven.”

  22. What Sacrificing YOUR WILL REQUIRES ! – Mark 14:36 • And He was saying, “Abba! Father! • All things are possible for Thee; remove this cup from Me; • YETNOT WHAT I WILL, • BUTWHAT THOU WILT.”

  30. [14] YET YOU DO NOT KNOW what your life will be like tomorrow. • You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.

  31. [15] INSTEAD, you ought to say, • “IF the LORDWILLS, we shall LIVEand also DOTHIS or THAT.”

  34. [3] OR DO YOU NOT KNOW that ALL of us WHO HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED INTO Christ Jesus • HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED INTO HisDEATH?

  35. [4] THEREFORE we HAVE BEEN BURIED with Him through baptism into DEATH, • INORDERTHAT AS (EXACTLY LIKE) Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, • SO (INTHISWAY) we too MIGHT WALK IN NEWNESS of LIFE.
