19. That we are not to obey our own will, but the will of God.

In the Gospel according to John: “I came not down from heaven to do mine own will, but the will of Him that sent me.”⁴³¹⁵ Of this same matter, according to Matthew: “Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what Thou wilt.”⁴³¹⁶ Also in the daily prayer:  “Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.”⁴³¹⁷ Also according to Matthew: “Not every one who saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he who doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.”⁴³¹⁸ Also according to Luke:  “But that servant which knoweth his Lord’s will, and obeyed not His will, shall be beaten with many stripes.”⁴³¹⁹ In the Epistle of John: “But he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever, even as He Himself also abideth for ever.”⁴³²⁰
