We know that if we are in God’s word, praying and seeking His will for our lives, that He will guide us to the right decision. The more we know God and His heart, the more we know what He is trying to do in our lives and the best path to choose. If we choose to continue in sin, we know it will lead to death as was stated in Romans 6:23. If we are in sin, we won’t know God’s will so if we aren’t living in sin and we are doing the best we can to follow His word, than we will be living in His will.
