God desires humanity to walk in His will, as it is done in heaven. In heaven, everything operates under His will through His Spirit. When Lucifer, a high-ranking cherub, attempted otherwise, he lost his place in God's paradise (Ezekiel 28:12-17; Isaiah 14:12-15). God's yes remains yes, and His no remains no. Lucifer and about one-third of the angels fell because they rebelled against God's no (Revelation 12). On earth, man was created in the image and likeness of God. Just as God rules the heavenly realm, man was to rule the world by cooperating with God (Genesis 1:26-31; 2:16-17). Unfortunately, man rebelled against God's no when he said yes to what God had forbidden, resulting in his expulsion and suffering (Genesis 3:6-24). The Lord Jesus Christ came as the second Adam and restored mankind to God through His total obedience, even unto death on the cross (John 4:34; 5:30; Philippians 2:6-8). The Christian life is one of total dependence on God's will (Ephesians 5:10, 17). You are called to surrender all to Christ and do only His will. God's yes becomes your yes, and His no becomes your no. Being a child of God means doing what pleases Him, not yourself.
