What is God's will in the context of Matthew 7:21-23?
Matthew 7:21 - 23
ESV - 21 Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?

This is also my question, and I thought I would find an all encompassing answer here. But basically, I believe that God's will as referenced in the verses is found throughout the Bible. E.g. Psalm 37: 3-7- trust in the Zlord, delight yourself in The Lord, commit your way to The Lord... In Matthew 6:33 - seek ye first the kingdom of a God, Romans 12:1&2 present yourself a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable... And there are many many more scriptures, like: by this shall all men know you are my disciples if you have love one for another. Bottom line, if we live according to His Word and precepts our lives will continue to be transformed daily to be more like Him....
