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 .

The glory that will be revealed to us (Romans 8:18-25)

The glory that will be revealed to us             [Romans 8:18-25]       Chapter 17 of the Westminster Confession of Faith, “On the Perseverance of the Saints,” says: “They whom God hath accepted in his Beloved, effectually called and sanctified by his Spirit, can neither totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace; but shall certainly persevere therein to the end, and be eternally saved.”   This doctrine is that those whom God has chosen by His eternal providence and regenerated by the Holy Spirit will never lose their status as God's children because they are protected by God's grace.   This means that such people will not lose their qualifications for adoption, their status as righteous will not be taken away, and their souls will not be destroyed (Jn. 10:27-29; Rom. 8:35-39; Phil 1:6).   John 10:28, one of the New Testament sources for this, says: “and I give eternal life to them, and they w...

Past, present, and future blessing (Romans 8:1-2, 14-18)

Past, present, and future blessing       [Romans 8:1-2, 14-18]     Among the blessings that God has given to us Christians in Jesus Christ, I heard the word through our church retired pastor last Wednesday prayer meeting that the three blessings shown in Romans 8:1-2 and 14-18.   The three blessings are past blessing, present blessing, and future blessing.   I want to meditate on these three blessings again.   First, what is the past blessing?   It is that there is now no condemnation for us who are in Christ Jesus.   Look at Romans 8:1 – “Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”   The Scripture says that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.   What does it mean?   In order to understand this word, we need to know the meaning of the word “condemnation.”   The original Greek word for the word, “κατάκριμα,” is a court term and refers to conv...

Present sufferings and future glory (Romans 8:18)

Present sufferings and future glory             [Romans 8:18]                        Look at Romans 8:18 – “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.”   I would like to think about two things based on this verse: (1) “the sufferings of this present time” and (2) “the glory that is to be revealed”.               First, let us think about “the sufferings of this present time”.                   The Apostle Paul speaks of “the sufferings of this present time” in Romans 8:18, and “this present” here refers to this world.   Therefore, “the suffering of this present time” refer to the sufferings of this world.   There are many suf...

The result of justification (11): Receiving future salvation (Romans 5:10)

The result of justification (11): Receiving future salvation     “For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!” (Romans 5:10)                        The Bible says there was a time when we were God’s enemies (Rom.5:10).   How have we become God’s enemies?   In Genesis, after God created the heavens and the earth and created Adam, the first man, He allowed Adam to eat from all kinds of trees in the Garden of Eden .   B ut he commanded, “You must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.”   God said, “You will surely die” on the day you eat the fruit (Gen. 2:16-17).   However, Adam fell into the temptation of the crafty serpent (Satan), disobeyed God's command, and ate the frit of the tree of the knowledge of good a...
