연약하고 허무한 믿음을 올바로 알고 애통하며 맡기고 순종해야 구원을 얻습니다
Be Saved by Obedient Faith through Lamented his Weakness Faith
본문: 마26: 69-75
Scripture Reading: Matthew 26: 69-75
“나를 따라오라 내가 너희를 사람을 낚는 어부가 되게 하리라(4:19)” 하셨듯, 선택하여 찾아와 부르는 주님의 은혜로 동행하며 가르침을 받았고, “맹인이 보며 못 걷는 사람이 걸으며 나병환자가 깨끗함을 받으며 못 듣는 자가 들으며 죽은 자가 살아나며 가난한 자에게 복음이 전파되는(11:5)” 영적인 능력을 경험하며 믿음이 자라난 제자들이었으나, “내가 아버지께 구하여 지금 열두 군단 더 되는 천사를 보내시게 할 수 없는 줄로 아느냐. 내가 만일 그렇게 하면 이런 일이 있으리라 한 성경이 어떻게 이루어지겠느냐(26:53-54)” 하며, 무한한 능력을 포기하고 잡히자 모두 도망갔는데, 사랑하고 존경하고 염려하며 뒤따라간 베드로가, “너도 갈릴리 사람 예수와 함께 있었다(26:69)” 하는 말에 사로잡혀 고난과 죽음을 당할까 겁이나, “네가 무슨 말을 하는지 알지 못하겠노라(26:70)” 부인하였지만, “이 사람은 나사렛 예수와 함께 있었다-진실로 그 도당이라 네 말소리가 너를 표명한다(26:71, 73)” 거듭된 말에 두려워 하며 저주하고 맹서하며, “그 사람을 알지 못하노라(26:74)” 부인했듯, 죽음의 공포 앞에 속절없이 무너지고 사라지는 것이 사람의 허약하고 허무한 믿음과 확신입니다.
They were learned and trained for the kingdom of God, Chosen and called by Jesus, as “Come, follow me, I will make you fishers of men. (4:19)” And, they saw and experienced for the Spiritual powers in Jesus and growth up their faith, as “The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. (11:5)” But, the Jesus was arrested to the mob from the high priests and the elders of Judean, even he gave up his almighty powers, as “Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put are my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way? (26:53-54)” At that time, the Peter was followed far distanced his teacher and Lord Jesus, because he respects, lives and worried him. But, when a servant of the high-priest said to him, as “You also were with Jesus of Galilee. (26:69)” Then Peter denied it, because he was afraid will be arrested and distressed himself as Christ Jesus were by them, as “I don’t know what you’re talking about. (26:70)” But, sometime later the other servants were said to him as “This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth—Surely you are one of them, for your accent gives you away. (26:71, 73)” again and again. Thence, he began to call down curses on himself and said, as “I don’t know the man. (26:74)” Because, for faith of human is so easily perished and disappeared by the afraid of the afflictions or death, even he had convicted and confident his salvation of faith in Jesus and he had strongly trusted his belief, as the Peter was said to his Lord Jesus as “Even if I have die with you, I will never disown you. (26:35)”
그처럼 나약한 사람의 믿음을 아시고, “오늘 밤에 너희가 다 나를 버리리라 기록된 바 내가 목자를 치리니 양의 떼가 흩어지리라 하였으나, 내가 살아난 후에 너희보다 먼저 갈릴리로 가리라(26:31-32)” 하셨지만, “모두 주를 버릴지라도 나는 결코 버리지 않겠나이다(26:33)” 단언하므로, “오늘 밤 닭 울기 전에 네가 세 번 나를 부인하리라(26:34)” 가르쳤고, “주와 함께 죽을지언정 주를 부인하지 않겠나이다(26:35)” 맹서했지만, 죽음이 두려워 주를 저주하며 부인했는데, “주께서 돌이켜 베드로를 보시니 베드로가 오늘 닭 울기 전에 네가 세 번 나를 부인하리라 하신 말씀이 생각나 밖에 나가 심히 통곡하였듯(눅22:61-62)” 연약한 믿음으로 죄에 빠진 자를 외면하지 않고 양심을 찌르며 일깨우는 성령의 은혜로 자신의 허무한 믿음을 절실하게 깨닫고 애통하는 심령에 다시 찾아와 가르치고 변화시키며 인도하고 사용하며 구원하는 그리스도 대속과 구원의 은혜 때문에, “애통하는 자는 복이 있나니 그들이 위로를 받을 것임이요(5:4)-그리스도 예수 안에 있는 속량으로 말미암아 하나님의 은혜로 값 없이 의롭다 하심을 얻은 자 되었느니라(롬3:24)-너희는 그 은혜에 의하여 믿음으로 말미암아 구원을 받았으니 이것은 너희에게서 난 것이 아니요 하나님의 선물이라(엡2:8)” 하셨습니다.
But the Lord Jesus was said to Peter, as “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered. (26:31-32)” Because, he known well for the perishable faith in him. However, the Peter was revolted and opposed to says with oath himself for the foretold of his Lord Jesus, as “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will. (26:33)” Because, he was not known his perishable belief, resolution, decision, minds and hearts. That’s why, Lord Jesus was said instructed to him as “This very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times. (26:34)” But, the Peter was revolted and opposed to says with oath again, as “Even if I have die with you, I will never disown you. (26:35)” However, Peter was disowned his Lord Jesus with cursed and oath, when he held up afraid of big distressed and death. At that time, Peter recognized his weakness and perishable faith by the works of the Holy Spirit, and repented with bitterly wept, as “The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times. And he went outside and wept bitterly. (Luke22:61-62)” Because, that is the mercies and favors of God of the salvation in Christ Jesus. So that the Lord God said it through the bible, as “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. (5:4)-Are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. (Romans3:24)-For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. (Ephesians2:8)”
그러나 하나님께서 정한 그리스도 믿음의 법칙과 사람에게 주신 자유의지 때문에, “마음을 다하고 뜻을 다하고 힘을 다하여 네 하나님 여호와를 사랑하라(신6:5)-나를 사랑하는 자들이 나의 사랑을 입으며 나를 간절히 찾는 자가 나를 만날 것이니라(잠8:17)” 하셨듯, 생명의 말씀 하나님을 진심으로 사랑해야 성령으로 찾아와 가르치고, “네 길을 여호와께 맡기라 그를 의지하면 그가 이루시고, 네 의를 빛 같이 나타내시며 네 공의를 정오의 빛 같이 하시리로다(시37:5-6)” 하셨듯, 맡기고 의지하며 순종해야 인도하고 변화시키며 사용하고 이루기 때문에, “너희는 먼저 그의 나라와 그의 의를 구하라 그리하면 이 모든 것을 너희에게 더하시리라(6:33)-순종이 제사보다 낫고 듣는 것이 숫양의 기름보다 나으니(삼상15:22)-항상 복종하여 두렵고 떨림으로 너희 구원을 이루라(빌2:12)” 하셨습니다.
However, the Holy Spirit will come and works to whom, he will love the word of God with his wholeheartedly, as “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. (Deuteronomy6:5)-I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. (Proverbs8:17)” Because the regulations of the salvation by the faith in Jesus and the free-will of the men. That’s why God was said and proclaimed it, as “Commit your way to the Lord; 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)” That’s why, if anyone he will be commit himself to God and humbly obeying to him, the Holy Spirit will come into his heart and will teaches, leads and works with him, to be good and worthy faith in Jesus and righteousness. That’s why the bible says it to us, as “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (6:33)-To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams. (1Samuel15:22)-As you have always obeyed—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. (Philippians2:12)”
그런데 하나님 은혜와 사랑을 받아 예수를 믿는 사람들이, “내 생각이 너희의 생각과 다르며 내 길은 너희의 길과 다름이니라(사55:8)” 하신 하나님의 진리를 찾지 않아, 복음의 진리를 올바로 알지 못하고, “너희는 너희 아비 마귀에게서 났으니 너희 아비의 욕심대로 너희도 행하고자 하느니라 그는 처음부터 살인한 자요 진리가 그 속에 없으므로 진리에 서지 못하고 거짓을 말할 때마다 제 것으로 말하나니 그가 거짓말쟁이요 거짓의 아비가 되었음이라(요8:44)” 하셨듯, 사탄이 심어준 원죄를 따라 거짓된 세상 지식과 사람의 교훈과 육신의 생각을 더 신뢰하며 믿고 따르는 그릇된 믿음에 빠지면서 하나님의 진리를 정확하게 안다 착각하고, 성령과 동행하며 그리스도와 복음을 위해 헌신하는 올바른 믿음으로 착각하며, 열정에 이끌려 많은 일을 하며 세상의 인정과 존경을 받으므로, 전혀 깨닫지 못하고 심판 날에, “주여 우리가 주의 이름으로 선지자 노릇 하며 주의 이름으로 귀신을 쫓아 내며 주의 이름으로 많은 권능을 행하지 아니하였나이까(7:22)” 자랑하지만, “내가 너희를 도무지 알지 못하니 불법을 행하는 자들아 내게서 떠나가라(7:23)” 판결 받고 지옥으로 쫓겨나기 때문에, “동 서로부터 많은 사람이 이르러 아브라함과 이삭과 야곱과 함께 천국에 앉으려니와, 그 나라의 본 자손들은 바깥 어두운 데 쫓겨나 울며 이를 갈게 되리라(8:11-12)-좁은 문으로 들어가라 멸망으로 인도하는 문은 크고 길이 넓어 그리로 들어가는 자가 많고, 생명으로 인도하는 문은 좁고 길이 협착하여 찾는 자가 적음이라(7:13-14)” 하셨습니다.
Anyway, many Christians are does not seeks the right way in the word of God, and doesn’t knows the truth of gospel clearly, as “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways. (Isaiah55:8)” Because, they do not seek, asks and knocks the truth of gospel. But, they will trust and follows the men’s taught, and their fleshly sinful thoughts and desires from the Satan, as “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. (John8:44)” That’s why, they are foolishly confident they had been saved by their astray faith, and eagerly devoted themselves to the gospel and churches, and proudly says to God when the last day of judgement, as “Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles? (7:22)” But, they will surely be sentenced by Lord Jesus, as “I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers. (7:23)” And fallen to the hell forever and ever. That’s why, the Lord Jesus was proclaimed and instructed it, as “Many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (8:11-12)-Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many will enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. (7:13-14)”
그렇지만, “그런 사람들은 거짓 사도요 속이는 일꾼이니 자기를 그리스도의 사도로 가장하는 자들이니라(고후11:13)-내 백성을 유혹하는 선지자들은 이에 물 것이 있으면 평강을 외치나 그 입에 무엇을 채워 주지 아니하는 자에게는 전쟁을 준비한다(미3:5)” 하셨듯, 거짓 영에 사로잡혀, 자신의 욕심을 채우려고 하나님 말씀을 이용하며, “그들이 허탄한 자랑의 말을 토하며 그릇되게 행하는 사람들에게서 겨우 피한 자들을 음란으로써 육체의 정욕 중에서 유혹한다(벧후2:18)” 하셨듯, 욕망의 종이 되는 그릇된 믿음으로 인도하게 되므로, 세상 지식과 사람의 교훈과 육신의 생각에 빠지려는 자신의 마음을 하나님께 맡기고 의지하며 간구하며 순종하려고 결단해야, “말씀이 육신이 되어 우리 가운데 거하시매 우리가 그의 영공을 보니 아버지의 독생자의 영광이요 은혜오 진리가 충망하더라(요14:26) ” 하셨듯, 성령께서 임마누엘 하나님이 되고, “성령이 임하시면 너희가 권능을 받고 땅 끝까지 이르러 내 증인이 되리라(행1:8)” 하셨듯, 복음의 증인으로 사용하시며, “우리를 구원하시되 우리가 행한 바 의로운 행위로 말미암지 아니하고 오직 그의 긍휼하심을 따라 중생의 씻음과 성령의 새롭게 하심으로 하셨듯(딛3:5)” 대속과 구원을 허락하므로 “말씀을 행하는 자가 되고 듣기만 하여 자신을 속이는 자가 되지 말라(약1:22)” 하셨듯, 자신을 속이며 그릇된 확신에 빠뜨리는 세상 지식이나 사람의 교훈이나 육신의 생각을 모두 버리고, 말씀을 사랑하며 성령 하나님께 온전히 맡기고 의지하며 순종하는 믿음으로 임마누엘 하나님 형통한 은혜와 사랑을 받으며 그리스도 복음의 증인이 되고 구원 얻기를 예수 이름으로 간절히 축복하며 기도합니다. 아멘.
Because, so many false prophets are working in the world and they use the words of God to be astray faith, and exploit whom the followers to be benefits of their greed and honors, as “For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. (2Corinthians11:13)-As for the prophets who lead my people astray, if one feeds them, they proclaim peace; if he does not, they prepare to wage war against him. (Micah3:5)” “For they mouth empty, boastful words and by appealing to the lustful desires of sinful human nature, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. (2Peter2:18)” And the followers will be deceived by their fleshly sinful desires also. Therefore, you will be commit yourselves to God with easily deceived by the Satan for your minds, hearts and desires all, and always be humbly follows and obeys the truth of God by the Holy Spirit, as “The Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. (John14:26)” Then the word of God will be rise up in your heats to be your Immanuel God, And He will be leads you to be witness lives of Christ Jesus for your Lord and Savior, as “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. (Acts1:8)” And, He will save you to be eternal life by the name of Jesus forever, as “He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. (Titus3:5)” Therefore, you do not be deceived by the worldly wisdoms, men’s taught or your fleshly sinful thoughts, but discarded it all, because that is lies and leads to astray faith, as “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. (James1:22)” Instead, you will be love the word of God in the bible with your wholeheartedly, and commit yourselves to God and trusts and rely on him and always be asks to your God and humbly obeying to him, then you can be witnesses of the Christ Jesus within the graces, loves and powers of the Holy Spirit of your Immanuel God and enter the eternal life in the kingdom of God forever. I hope, you will be as good and worthy faith in Jesus all. Amen.
