바울의 마지막 문안 인사 (30)

바울의 마지막 문안 인사 (30)       바울 은 마지막 문안 인사에서 이렇게 말씀했습니다 : “아킵보에게 이르기를 주 안에서 받은 직분을 삼가 이루라고 하라” ( 골 4:17).   아킵보는 자신의 직분을 충분히 입증하라는 말씀 입니다 .   신약성경에 나타난 주요 직분으로는 목사 , 장로 , 집사 등이 있습니다 .   직분자들은 자신의 직분을 충분히 입증하기 위해선 (1) 그리스도 예수님께 감사해야 합니다 .   디모데전서 1 장 12 절입니다 : “나에게 힘을 주신 우리 주 그리스도 예수님께 내가 감사하는 것은 나를 충성스러운 사람으로 여겨 나에게 직분을 맡겨 주셨기 때문입니다 . ”   바울은 자신이 예수 그리스도를 믿지 않았을 때에 모르고 하나님을 모독하고 성도들을 핍박하던 난폭한 사람이었는데 하나님께서 자신을 불쌍히 여겨 주시사 회심케하셨을 뿐만 아니라 사명을 주시사 이방인의 사도로 세우셨기에 예수님께 감사했습니다 . (2) 은혜의식 속에서 더 많이 수고해야 합니다 .   고린도전서 15 장 8-10 절입니다 : “맨 나중에는 부족하기 짝이 없는 내게도 나타나셨습니다 .   나는 사도들 중에 가장 보잘것없는 사람이며 하나님의 교회를 박해했기 때문에 사도라고 불릴 자격마저 없습니다 .   그러나 오늘날 내가 이렇게 된 것은 하나님의 은혜로 된 것이며 내게 주신 그분의 은혜가 헛되지 않아 내가 다른 모든 사도들보다 더 많이 일했습니다 .   그렇지만 그것은 내가 한 것이 아니라 나와 함께 하신 하나님의 은혜였습니다 . ”   그래서 그는 은혜 의식 속에서 다른 모든 사도들보다 더 많이 일을 했습니다 .   우리도 그 리 해야 합니다 .

“If God is for us” (8) (Romans 8:31-34)

“If God is for us” (8)       [Romans 8:31-34]                      Look at Romans 8:34 – “…   Christ Jesus, who died--more than that, who was raised to life--is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.”   The phrase “who died – more than that” here refers to the death of Jesus Christ (v. 34).   Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures (1 Cor. 15:3).   Also, the word “was raised” here refers to the resurrection of Jesus Christ (Rom. 8:34).   Jesus Christ rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Cor. 15:4).   The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are like the heads and tails of the same coin.   In other words, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are inseparable.   Without the death of Jesus there is no resurrection of Jesus, and without the resurrection of Jesus there is no ...

“If God is for us” (7) (Romans 8:31-34)

“If God is for us” (7)             [Romans 8:31-34]       Look at Romans 8:34 – “…  Christ Jesus, who died--more than that, who was raised to life ….”  This verse speaks of the resurrection of Jesus.  The Bible 1 Corinthians 15:4 also talks about the resurrection of Jesus: “…  and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.”  The Bible talks a lot about the resurrection of Jesus.  Look at Psalms 16:10-11: “For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.  You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.”  These words prophesied the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  In fact, God did not leave Jesus Christ in the grave.  In 1 Corinthians 15:4, the second half of the Bible says that Jesus Christ rose again on the third day, but it is ...

“If God is for us” (6) (Romans 8:31-34)

“If God is for us” (6)         [Romans 8:31-34]       Last week, we meditated on Romans 8:33b-34a, “…  It is God who justifies.  Who is he that condemns?”  Whoever God justifies can never be condemned.  In John 8:3-11, the scribes and Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, put her in the center of the court (v. 3) and said to Jesus: “Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act.  Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?” (vv. 4-5)  They asked this question in order to find an excuse to test Jesus and accuse him (v. 6).  In conclusion, Jesus said to the woman: “Woman, where are they?  Did no one condemn you?  …  I do not condemn you, either Go From now on sin no more” (vv. 10-11).  If Jesus did not condemn her, who would dare to accuse and condemn her?  On one!  Never!  It is God who justifies, and who is...

“If God is for us” (2) (Romans 8:31-34)

“If God is for us” (2)       [Romans 8:31-34]     Look at Romans 8:32 – “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?”  Here, “His own son” refers to God the Son, the only begotten Son of God.  The Father God sent His only begotten Son to this earth, and Jesus, the only begotten Son, came to this earth in obedience to the will of the Father God.  Among the eight visions that the prophet Zechariah saw, the first was the coming of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, to the human world (Zech. 1:8).  The vision he saw was of the only begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ, standing [the word that the only begotten was standing three times (vv. 8, 10, 11)].  The Bible mainly depicts Jesus Christ sitting at the right hand of God (Mk. 16:19; Lk. 22:69; Col. 3:1; Heb.  1:3; 10:12; 12:2).  But Stephen saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God before he...

“If God is for us” (1) (Romans 8:31-34)

“If God is for us” (1)       [Romans 8:31-34]       Look at Romans 8:31 – “What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?”  Here, the conjunction “then” connects the word before and the word after.  Here are some of the opinions of scholars regarding the word before: (1) Romans 3:21-8:30, (2) Romans 5:1-8:30, (3) Romans 8:1-30, (4) Romans 8:26-30.  My opinion is that the conjunction “then” connects with Romans 8:29-30.  Romans 8:29-30 describes the five stages of God's salvation.  That is, (1) God foreknew (loved), (2) predestined (chosen), (3) called to believe Jesus, (4) justified, (5) glorified.  The Apostle Paul said, “What, then, shall we say in response to this?” (v. 31)  Here, in the English Bible, the singular “this” is used, but if we look at the original Greek, it is “these things” as a plural.  And “these things” refer to the five stages of God’s salva...
