Bavinck has these wise words about God’s will: “We can make as many distinctions in the will of God (as it relates to his creatures) as there are creatures; the free will of God is as richly variegated as that whole world is. Most important is the fact that God is father to all his creatures but not in the same way.” Ultimately, the “actual will of God is the will of his good pleasure” and “this will is identical with God’s being and efficacious.”
