Intuition.

Question 2

We know that an experience is good, right, or fit according to the
will of God. The will of God is concretely expressed in the form of a human flesh, none
other than His very Son Jesus Christ. We can only discern God’s will if we have to
relate our own life to Jesus Christ through the workings of the Holy Spirit. The will of
God is a matter of experiencing God in life through the life and teachings of Jesus
Christ.

Answer 2

Faith in God.
