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 .

“yet I will rejoice in the LORD” (Habakkuk 3:17-18)

  Day 9: Habakkuk 3:17-18         “yet I will rejoice in the LORD”         In what situation did the prophet Habakkuk dedicate himself to rejoicing in the Lord?  He dedicated himself to rejoicing in the Lord in a situation where he was awaiting a day of trouble.  Here, this day of trouble refers to the day when God would raise up the Babylonians to judge the people of Judah (Habak. 1:6).  The prophet Habakkuk knew that due to the war with Babylon, there would be a lack of crops and livestock in the land of Israel.  Nevertheless, despite this, the prophet Habakkuk dedicated himself to the Lord, declaring, "yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior," while patiently awaiting the fulfillment of God's prophecy even in such a situation.   Why was the prophet Habakkuk able to rejoice in the Lord even in such a difficult situation?  There are two reasons that can be see...

The result of justification (12): Rejoice in God (Romans 5:11)

The result of justification (12): Rejoice in God     “Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” (Romans 5:11)                        The Apostle Paul already said in Romans 5:2, “… And we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”   He also said in verse 3, “… we also rejoice in our sufferings ….”   And in verse 11, Paul again said, “… we also rejoice in God.”   When we fell short of the glory of God because of our sins (3:23), we were justified by faith through our Lord Jesus Christ (5:1-2).   Although we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of Jesus Christ, the Son of God (v. 10), and we have peace with God (v. 1).   Through our Lord Jesus Christ (vv. 1, 2) we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand (v. 2). ...

The result of justification (4): Rejoice in sufferings (Romans 5:3-4)

The result of justification (4): Rejoice in sufferings     “Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” (Romans 5:3-4)                      Here, “Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings” (Rom. 5:3), “only this” refers to Romans 5:2b “And we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”   In other words, it is not just about rejoicing in hope of the glory of God.   Here, “the glory of God” is Jesus Christ, who will come again in the glory of God that we hope for.   In John 19:30, the Bible says, “It is finished”.   This is the sixth word of Jesus on the cross.   What have He accomplished?   That is our redemption.   Redemption here means that Jesus Christ shed His blood to pay for all our sins with His life (crucifixion) to redeem us a...

The result of justification (3): Rejoice in the hope of the glory of God

The result of justification (3): Rejoice in the hope of the glory of God       ”through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.” (Romans 5:2)                      The Bible Romans 5:2 says, “…  And we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”  The third result of justification is that we rejoice in hope of the glory of God (v. 2).  What is the glory of God here?                 First, let us consider the glory of God that has already been revealed.                    The Bible Romans 5:1-2 speaks of the three glory of God.   When we fell short of the glory of God because of our sins (3:23), we were justified by faith through our ...
