Discerning the Will of God - Pt 3

"that you might KNOW what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God." Rom. 12:2b

When I am trying to determine whether or not something is in agreement with the will of God, how can I be sure? Are there any clear, solid guidelines that will help me?

Paul says that the will of God will be marked by three things: it will be good; it will be well-pleasing; and it will be perfect. What a wealth of instruction there is in that verse for any believer who honestly wants to know if what he is doing or plans to do is in agreement with the will of God!
