Where is the Garden of Eden and What is that Real Mean of it

본문: 창세기 2장

Scripture Reading: Genesis chapter 2

“여호와 하나님이 땅의 흙으로 사람을 지으시고 생기를 그 코에 불어넣으시니 사람이 생령이 되니라. 여호와 하나님이 동방의 에덴에 동산을 창설하시고 그 지으신 사람을 거기 두시니라. 여호와 하나님이 그 땅에서 보기에 아름답고 먹기에 좋은 나무가 나게 하시니 동산 가운데에는 생명 나무와 선악을 알게 하는 나무도 있더라(2:7-9)” 하였는데, 에덴동산이 어디에 있으며 무엇을 뜻하는지 알지 못하면 하나님의 창조 섭리를 알 수 없고, 올바른 믿음이 되지 못하며 그리스도의 대속과 구원도 얻지 못하기 때문에, “이 사람이 선악을 아는 일에 우리 중 하나 같이 되었으니 그가 그의 손을 들어 생명 나무 열매도 따먹고 영생할까 하노라 하시고, 여호와 하나님이 에덴 동산에서 그를 내보내어 그의 근원이 된 땅을 갈게 하시니라. 하나님이 그 사람을 쫓아내시고 에덴 동산 동쪽에 그룹들과 두루 도는 불 칼을 두어 생명 나무의 길을 지키게 하시니라(3:23-24)” 하셨는데, 에덴동산을 되찾지 못하면, “근원이 된 땅” 즉 마음 밭에 생명의 말씀으로 믿음의 씨앗을 뿌리고 가꾸어도 결실하지 못하고 대속이나 구원을 얻지 못합니다.

The Lord, the God of Creator was said, as “The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. And the Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground-trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (2:7-9)” But, whosoever, no one can have been good faith, nor saved in Christ, and never be known for the real truth and providence of creation of God, even he had believed Jesus, if anyone who does not know the where is the place of the Garden of Eden, as “So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. After he drove the man out, he placed of the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way of the tree of life. (3:23-24)” Because, who have not found the Garden of Eden, he should no saw the seed of the good faith in Jesus, nor nurses or reared of that tree of life and never be produced the fruit of life in Christ Jesus, and could not get the redemption and salvation in his name.

그래서 “동산 각종 나무의 열매는 네가 임의로 먹되 선악을 알게 하는 나무의 열매는 먹지 말라 네가 먹는 날에는 반드시 죽으리라(2:16-17)” 하셨는데, 자유의지로 선택하는 것에 따라 하나님의 성전이 되거나 사탄의 사당이 된다는 뜻이기 때문에, “네가 거기서 네 하나님 여호와를 찾게 되리니 만일 마음을 다하고 뜻을 다하여 그를 찾으면 만나리라(신4:29)-나를 사랑하는 자가 나의 사랑을 입으며 나를 찾는 자가 나를 만나리라(잠8:17)-태초에 말씀이 계시니라 이 말씀이 하나님과 함께 계셨으니 이 말씀은 곧 하나님이시니라(요1:1)” 하셨으므로, 성경 말씀을 하나님으로 받아들여 믿고 사랑하며, “네 마음에 새기며 네 목에 매라(잠6:21)-구하는 이마다 받을 것이요 찾는 이는 찾아낼 것이요 두드리는 이에게는 열릴 것이니라(마7:8)-너희 하늘 아버지께서 구하는 자에게 성령을 주시지 않겠느냐(눅11:13)-성령 그가 너희에게 모든 것을 가르치고 내가 너희에게 말한 모든 것을 생각나게 하리라(요14:26)” 하셨듯, 마음에 새겨진 말씀을 생각나게 하며 짝을 맞추어 가르치는 성령의 은혜로만 배우고 깨달으며 믿고 이루기 때문에, “깨닫는 마음과 보는 눈과 듣는 귀는 오늘까지 여호와께서 너희에게 주지 아니하셨느니라(신29:4)” 하셨습니다.

That is why, the Lord God was strictly commanded it to the men, as “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die. (2:16-17)” It meaning is everyone he freely choice to the way of the temple of God or to the shrine of the Satan. So that the Lord God was said it, as “If from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul. (Deuteronomy4:29)-I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. (Proverbs8:17)-In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John1:1)” That’s why, who will be accepted for the Word in the bible to his God and loves and trusts him, keeps and inscribed it to his deepest heart, then the Lord will come into his heart by the Holy Spirit and remined the words in his heart and matched it along the real truth of God, and teaching to him to be recognized and believed and accomplished to the correctly faith in Jesus, as “Bind them you’re your heart forever; fasten them around your neck. (Proverbs6:21)-For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. (Matthew7:8)-Will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him. (Luke11:13)-The Holy Spirit, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. (John14:26)” That is why, the bible reminded as that ways of the faith in Jesus to be saved to us, as “To this day the Lord has not given you a mind that understands or eyes that see or ears that heart. (Deuteronomy29:4)”

그러므로 성경 말씀을 나의 하나님이라 믿고 사랑하며 마음에 새기고 구하고 찾고 두드리며 성령의 가르침을 따라 배워야 되는데, “여기 서 있는 사람 중에는 죽기 전에 하나님의 나라가 권능으로 임하는 것을 볼 자들도 있느니라(막9:1)-하나님의 나라는 볼 수 있게 임하는 것이 아니요. 또 여기 있다 저기 있다고도 못하리니 하나님의 나라는 너희 안에 있느니라(눅17:20-21)” 하셨으므로, 에덴동산은 우리 마음에 이루어질 임마누엘 하나님의 나라를 뜻하게 되지만, “여호와 하나님이 그 땅에서 보기에 아름답고 먹기에 좋은 나무가 나게 하시니 동산 가운데에는 생명 나무와 선악을 알게 하는 나무도 있더라(2:9)” 하셨듯, 사람의 마음에서는 온갖 아름답고 좋게 보이는 것이 끊임없이 솟아나고 생명에 이르기 어렵기 때문에, “생육하고 번성하여 땅에 충만하라, 땅을 정복하라, 바다의 물고기와 하늘의 새와 땅에 움직이는 모든 생물을 다스리라(1:28)-동산 각종 나무의 열매는 네가 임의로 먹되, 선악을 알게 하는 나무의 열매는 먹지 말라 네가 먹는 날에는 반드시 죽으리라(2:16-17)” 하셨는데, 마음에 새겨진 말씀을 통해 가르치는 성령의 진리에 따른 믿음으로 마음이 충만해지고 생각과 삶을 정복하고 다스려야 생명나무에 열매가 맺혀 구원을 얻고, “먹음직, 보암직 탐스러운(3:6)” 욕망과 열정을 다스리지 못하면, “하나님과 같이(3:5)” 되려는 욕망과 열정과 사탄의 종이 되고 하나님의 원수가 되어 멸망의 심판을 받습니다. 데, 우리 마음 속에 있는 사탄의 직접적인 유혹을 받기 때문입니다.

Therefore, everyone surely be loves and believes the Word to his Lord and God and kept it to his heart and always be asks, seeks and knock the real truth of God and be learned through the Holy Spirit. Because, every men’s heart is the Garden of Eden of the God of Immanuel and the temple of the Lord Jesus Christ, as “Some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power. (Mark9:1)-The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, here it is, or there it is, because the kingdom of God is within you. (Luke17:20-21)” However, for the fertile land of the garden of belief in Jesus our hearts, sprouting so many beautiful thing growth up, blooming and produced fruits and enticed our minds, hearts and belief to be astray, so that the Lord God was said and commanded it, as “The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground-trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (2:7-9)” Because, if anyone who will be followed and believed through the Holy Spirit, then the real truth and the pure in loves of God be filled up his conscience and he can be self-control his minds, hearts and fleshly sinful desires all, as “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground. (1:28)-You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die. (2:16-17)” Then he shall surely be redeemed and saved his eternal life by the approval of his Immanuel God. If not, he who could not be subdue or rule over his lusts and passions, as “Good for food, pleasing to the eye and desirable for gaining wisdom. (3:6)” But, surely be held up his fleshly sinful desires to the arrogant sins of the “Will be like God. (3:5)” From the Satan and condemned to perished on the last day of judgement.

왜냐하면 하나님은 우리에게 자유의지와 선택권을 주셨으므로, “내가 문 밖에 서서 두드리노니 누구든지 내 음성을 듣고 문을 열면 내가 그에게 들어가 그와 더불어 먹고 그는 나와 더불어 먹으리라(계3:20)-섬김을 받으려 함이 아니라 도리어 섬기려 하고(마20:28)” 하셨듯, 마음을 열고 받아들이는 자에게만 섬김의 영으로 오시고, 사탄은 성경에 기록된 말씀의 외면적 의미를 인용하며 유혹하므로 너무 쉽게 속게 되고, 스스로는 결코 이루거나 지킬 수 없기 때문에, “네 마음을 내게 주며 네 눈으로 내 길을 즐거워할지어다(잠23:26)-이제라도 금식하고 울며 애통하고 마음을 다하여 내게로 돌아오라(욜2:12)-네 길을 여호와께 맡기라 그를 의지하면 그가 이루시고, 네 의를 빛 같이 나타내시며 네 공의를 정오의 빛 같이 하시리라(시37:5-6)” 가르치고 약속하셨지만, 맡기고 순종한다 결단하고 시행할지라도 올바로 하지 못하기 때문에, “나를 따라오려거든 자기를 부인하고 자기 십자가를 지고 나를 따를 것이니라(마16:24)-자기 십자가를 지고 나를 따르지 않는 자도 내게 합당하지 아니하니라(마10:38)” 하셨는데, 자기 자신의 생각으로 오해할 수 밖에 없는 사탄의 유혹에 속지 않기 위하여 마음 속에서 일어나는 생각들이 자기 것이 아니라 부인해야 된다는 뜻이고, 십자가 고난을 받으며 아버지 하나님께 영혼을 맡기고 죽었다가 부활하신 예수 그리스도를 본받아 목숨을 하나님께 맡기고 죽을 때까지 순종해야 된다는 뜻입니다.

However, for the Immanuel God of the Holy Spirit does not teaches or works to anyone, who does not open his minds and hearts but disobedient hearts, because, the Lord God was given the chosen right with free-wills to the men, as “I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. (Revelation3:20)-Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. (Matthew20:28)” And the Satan also entices and works in the fleshly sinful desires with passions of the men, and the man could not subdue or control himself, so that the Lord God was teaches and pronounced it with promised, as “Give me your heart and let your eyes keep to my ways. (Proverbs23:26)-Even now, return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning. (Joel2:12)-Commit your way to God; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. (Psalms37:5-6)” However, no one can be kept his oath, decisions or devoted by himself, that’s why the Lord was teaches and commanded it, as “Anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. (Matthew16:24)-Anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. (Matthew10:38)” Therefore, brothers and sisters! You shall be denied for your minds, hearts, knowledges, decisions, and devotions all, but commit and entrusted yourselves to God and be followed and imitated for the earthly lives of the Christ Jesus for your Savior until your very end of life in this world, then you are surely be saved.

맡기고 순종하는 믿음이 고난의 길이고 성령 하나님의 도움이 없이는 결코 이룰 수 없기 때문에, 세상에 오신 하나님 예수께서도 “아버지여 만일 아버지의 뜻이거든 이 잔을 내게서 옮기시옵소서 그러나 내 원대로 마시옵고 아버지의 원대로 되기를 원하나이다 하시니, 천사가 하늘로부터 예수께 나타나 힘을 더하더라. 예수께서 힘쓰고 애써 더욱 간절히 기도하시니 땀이 땅에 떨어지는 핏방울 같이 되더라(눅22:42-44)” 증거하며, “너희 안에 이 마음을 품으라 곧 그리스도 예수의 마음이니, 그는 근본 하나님의 본체시나 하나님과 동등됨을 취할 것으로 여기지 아니하시고, 오히려 자기를 비워 종의 형체를 가지사 사람들과 같이 되셨고, 사람의 모양으로 나타나사 자기를 낮추시고 죽기까지 복종하셨으니 곧 십자가에 죽으심이라(빌2:5-8)” 가르치며, “내가 이미 얻었다 함도 아니요 온전히 이루었다 함도 아니라 오직 내가 그리스도 예수께 잡힌 바 된 그것을 잡으려고 달려가노라(빌3:12)-그러므로 항상 복종하여 두렵고 떨림으로 너희 구원을 이루라(빌2:12)” 하셨으므로, 말씀에 겉으로 나타나는 의미나 사람이 교훈이나 교리에 속지 말고, 말씀을 사랑하며 마음에 새기고 성령의 가르침을 따라 믿고 의지하며 죽을 각오로 맡기고 순종하여 임마누엘 하나님의 성전이 되는 에덴동산을 회복하여 복음의 진리를 전하고 증거하는 사랑과 생명의 열매를 맺고, 영생의 천국에 들어가기를 예수 그리스도 이름으로 간절히 축복하며 기도합니다. 아멘.

However, no one be done for the too much afflicted and distressed way of the obedient faith in Christ Jesus without helped of the Holy Spirit, that’s why the Lord Jesus was showed that the helpful way of the Holy Spirit in his name, as “Father, if you willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done. And angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being an anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. (Luke22:42-44)” And, instruction the way of worthy faith of him, as “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross. (Philippians2:5-8)” And with confessed and teachings of his trustful servant, witness and a disciple Paul, as “Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. (Philippians3:12)-Always obeyed—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. (Philippians2:12)” Therefore, brothers and sisters, do not be deceived by the external means of the words in the bible, or decrees, doctrines of the men, but be loved the word of God in the bible and kept it in your deepest heart, and ask, seek and knock the real truth of God in Christ Jesus, and be studied and learned by the Holy Spirit, and humbly accepted, believed and obedience it, then, the Word of God will be risen in your heart to be your Trinity God of Immanuel, and works with you to be accomplished through his eternal purposes in Christ Jesus and granted you to be eternal life in the kingdom of heaven forever and ever. I hopefully prayer and plead for you, you will be as good and worthy faith in Christ Jesus all. Amen.
