9-11. God’s Will May Be Known—[Colossians 1:9-11 quoted.] How complete this prayer is! There is no limit to the blessings that it is our privilege to receive. We may be “filled with the knowledge of his will.” The Holy Ghost would never have inspired Paul to offer this prayer in behalf of his brethren, if it had not been possible for them to receive an answer from God in accordance with the request. Since this is so, we know that God’s will is manifested to His people as they need a clearer understanding of His will (Letter 179, 1902).{7BC 906.2}

9-11. Guds vilje vil blive kendt.--[Kol. 1,9-11 citeret.] Hvor fuldstændig er denne bøn ikke! Der er ingen begrænsning for de velsignelser som vi har ret til at modtage. Vi må være "fyldt med kundskab om hans vilje." Helligånden ville aldrig have inspireret Paulus til at sende denne bøn for sine brødre, hvis det ikke havde været muligt for dem at modtage et svar fra Gud, efter denne forespørgsel. Da det er sådan, ved vi at Guds vilje er tilkendegivet for hans folk idet de behøver en klarere forståelse om Hans vilje. (Brev 179, 1902).
