How will we know whether we are living according to the will of God or not ?

Question

How will we know whether we are living according to the will of God or not ?  If you are sad for whatever reason, this means that you have not given yourself over to God, although from the outside it may seem that you have. He who lives according to God's will has no worries.  When he needs something, he simply prays for it. If he does not receive that which he asked for, he is joyful as though he had received it. A soul that has given itself over to God has no fear of anything, not even robbers, sickness or death. Whatever happens, such a soul always cries.  " It was the will of 
God."

What is God's will?  If you read it in a book you are reading the opinion of a writer, however poetic it may be.

Do you know God's will?  Are you a mind reader of deities?  Highly unlikely.

We are born with abilities, desires, inclinations and the ability to think for ourselves, and this is our work - with or without knowledge of God's will.  Go about your affairs, your responsibilities, your happiness in life.

I don't fallow a set of rules written by man more than 2000 years ago. You do know "Jesus" could have lied and everyone was so gullible that they believed him? We were pretty stupid back then you know.

obviously not, or else you'd already be in hell.

If you're a Christian, God will forgive you no matter how you live, so live as hedonistic a life as you like.  There's no accountability in Christianity.
