In "As Sure as the Dawn," Francine Rivers emphasizes that God's will is not obscured or difficult to find. Unlike various myths and philosophical ideas that can be obscure, the essence of what God desires from humanity is clear and accessible. Jesus conveyed this message through his words and actions, demonstrating an open and straightforward communication of divine intentions.

The central command that Jesus imparts is the principle of loving one another. This simple yet profound directive encapsulates what it means to live according to God's will, highlighting the importance of love in our relationships and interactions with others. Rivers underscores that understanding God's will begins with this foundational teaching of Jesus.
