로마서 15:20 말씀을 읽고 도전이 된 내용과 묵상하고 적용할 사항을 정리해 보았습니다.
Romans 15:20 I always want to preach the Good News in places where people have never heard of Christ, because I do not want to build on the work someone else has already started.
복음 전할 사람 → 어느 누구에게나, 또는 한 번도 들어보지 못한 영혼
바울은 자신이 복음을 전할 때 가능하다면 그리스도에 대해 들어보지 못한 사람들이 있는 곳에서 복음을 전하기 원한다고 말합니다. 왜냐하면 다른 사람들이 이미 시작한 일에 자신이 짓는 것은 원치 않기 때문이라고 말했습니다(롬 15:20).
바울은 자신이 사람들에게 복음을 전하는 삶을 지속해서 살아가면서 가급적 예수 그리스도에 대해 들어보지 못한 사람에게 전하는 삶을 살아가려 했습니다. 당시에 예수 그리스도에 대해 모르는 사람들이 많았으며, 바울 자신이 그에 대해 이름은 알았으나 예수님이 주님이시고 구세주라는 사실은 나중에 깨달았기 때문에 그와 같은 사람이 많이 있음을 잘 알고 있던 바울은 자신과 같은 사람에게 전하려는 의지가 강했습니다.
주여, 예수 그리스도에 대해 들어보지 못한 영혼에게 전하고자 했던 바울의 열정과 사명을 저도 동일하게 느끼며, 열정적으로 복음을 전하고 복음에 헌신된 자가 되기를 다시 한번 다짐해 봅니다. 제가 부르심을 받은 자로서 그 부르심(calling)을 따라 살아가는 자가 되며, 제가 이 땅에 이곳에 이 시간에, 이 공간에 머무르는 이유를 다시금 생각하며 초점 있는 삶을 살아가게 되길 간절히 기도드립니다.
주여, 오늘도 제가 주님을 알아가는 삶, 주님을 알게 하는 삶에서 성장할 수 있게 도와주시옵시며, 주님의 영광을 영혼들에게 전파하며 주님의 영광을 따라 살아가는 자가 되길 간절히 기도드립니다. 오늘도 주님의 부르심을 다시금 상기하며 하나님을 알아가는 것과 영혼에게 복음 전하는 시도를 1회 이상 할 것을 적용하겠습니다. 예수님의 이름으로 기도합니다. 아멘!

To whom the gospel is to be preached → to anyone, or to souls who have never heard of it
Paul says that when he preached the gospel, if possible, he wanted to do it where there were people who had never heard of Christ, because he didn't want to build on what others had already started (Romans 15:20).
Paul wanted to continue to live a life in which he preached the gospel to people, preferably to those who had never heard of Jesus Christ, knowing full well that there were many people like him who did not know about Jesus Christ at that time, and that he himself had known him by name but had not come to realize until later that Jesus was Lord and Savior.
Lord, may I share Paul's passion and mission to tell souls who have never heard of Jesus Christ, and may I recommit myself to being passionate and committed to the gospel. It is my fervent prayer that I will be one who lives out that calling, and that I will live a focused life that reminds me of why I am here on this earth, in this time, in this space.
Lord, help me today to grow in knowing You, in making You known, and to live for Your glory as I spread Your glory to souls. Today, I will remind myself of Your call and apply it to know You and make at least one attempt to reach souls with the Gospel. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen!
