If any man will
John 7:17
7:17 If any man will. This could be read: “If any man sincerely wants to do His will, he shall know….” Thus the first prerequisite to ascertaining God’s leading in some matter, or the truth about some doctrinal question, is a genuine willingness to believe the truth and to follow God’s will before they are made known, even if the answer goes against one’s preference.
