Title: To Put God's Will First

To put God's will first (Luke 1:26-56)
The most controversial part of the Apostles' Creed is the proposition that "begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary".
The Apostles' Creed believes in three things. Believe in God, believe in Jesus Christ, and believe in the Holy Spirit. Among them, you must confess your faith in the five major works of Jesus to become orthodox faith. Only by believing in the “incarnation of God” can the blood of Jesus, who died in the flesh, have the power to forgive sins.
1. The Virgin Mary Received by God's Grace
(1) God has decided to send his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to this earth as the last means and absolute method for the salvation of mankind, who cannot but die in sin.
(2) If we receive God's grace, we can overcome our fears.
2. To put God's will first
(1) We must believe that it is God's will to fulfill God's Word in our reality.
(2) Who is a great person? Those who obey the word of God (verse 38).
⑶ We must hold on to the evidence of our faith (verses 39-45).
3. Those who put God's will first will live with praise in any circumstances.
(1) Verses 46 to 55 are ‘Magnificat’.
(2) You can praise God when you surrender all your worries to God's work.
When we can't believe, we must put God's will first in order to be trustworthy.
Fear often triumphs over faith when we make decisions. Why is that? Because we are accustomed to living in fear. We seldom hear of the supreme glory of love. I've heard that being short is failure, and falling short is losing. But Jesus says:
“When you choose actions supported by love, you will do more than survive, you will do more than succeed. Then you will know who you really are and what you can be. You will experience the full glory of realization.”
