고난은 기회입니다. (6)

"고난의 유익은 그 고난을 통하여 내가 하나님 보시기에 그릇행하였다는 것을 깨닫는 것과 하나님의 법을 배우게 된 것과 이제부터 하나님의 말씀을 지키게 된 것입니다(시 119:67, 71). 이러한 깨달음(나의 죄)과 배움(하나님의 말씀)과 지킴( 말씀 순종)이 없는 고난은 무익합니다." 1. 깨달음: 교만함(시119:69), 그릇 행함(67절), 마음의 살찜과 기름덩이(70절) [마음에 지방을 제거하라!: https://blog.naver.com/kdicaprio74/150112959844] 2. 배움: 자녀들의 위기를 통해 저는 선하신 주님께서(68절) 저를 선대하사(65절) 가르쳐주신(68절) 시편 63편 3절 말씀과 베드로전서 5장 10절 말씀을 배우게 되었습니다(71절).

Faith

A Christian with an immature faith

 

A spiritual Christian who has matured in faith

spiritually discerns, spiritually understands,

and accepts the things of the Holy Spirit.

However, Christians who are immature in their faith

have weak spiritual discernment and lack spiritual understanding,

so they cannot easily accept the works of the Holy Spirit

(Ref.: 1 Corinthians 2:14).

  

 

Christians who are mature in their faith

 

Christians who are mature in their faith

know the mysterious wisdom of God hidden

through the Holy Spirit, who is God's spirit.

That is, they know the heart of the Lord,

the thoughts of the Lord, and the works of the Lord.

It was ordained by God before the ages for our glory.

This is what God has prepared for those who love him.

God revealed the secret to us through the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, we know the gift

that God has graciously given us through the Holy Spirit

(1 Corinthians 2:6-16).

The free gift that God has given us by grace

is eternal life in our Lord Jesus Christ

(Romans 6:23).



A spiritual Christian with mature faith

 

A spiritual Christian with mature faith

judges everything correctly with the Holy Spirit of God,

but people in the world do not evaluate him properly

(1 Corinthians 2:6, 15).

 

 


We must not offend the weak conscience of a brother

who is weak in faith.

 

No matter how clear our conscience may be,

if we arrogantly abuse our freedom in the Lord

and offend the weak conscience of our brothers and sisters who are weak in faith,

we are sinning against Christ

(1 Corinthians 8:8-12).

 

 

It is God's guidance and God's promise

that cannot be accepted without faith.

 

After God appeared to Abraham and said, "Go to the land I will show you,"

 the place He eventually led him to was not the land He would give to Abraham's descendants.

Even though Abraham had no children yet, God promised him,

"I will give this land to your descendants" (Acts 7:2-5).

Ultimately, the "land I will show you" from God was not the "land to set foot on" for Abraham. Moreover, God promised Abraham, who had no children,

that He would give "this land" to "his descendants."

How should we perceive God's guidance and promises?

They are God's guidance and promises that cannot be accepted without faith.
