로마서 13:5 말씀을 읽고 도전이 된 내용과 묵상하고 적용할 사항을 정리해 보았습니다.

 

 

 

 

Romans 13:5 So you must yield to the government, not only because you might punished, but because you know it is right.

 

 

 

 

순종하고 지켜야 하는 이유 → 그것이 옳기 때문

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

바울은 정부 혹은 통치자의 명령이나 규칙을 지켜야 하는 이유가 우리가 벌 받기 때문만이 아니라 우리는 그것이 옳다는 것을 알기 때문이라고 말했습니다(롬 13:5). 우리가 법이나 규칙을 지키는 이유는 사실상 그러한 법들을 지키지 않았을 때 그것으로부터 오는 징벌이 두려워서라는 점도 있으나 그것보다는 그와 같이 지키는 법 속에 담겨 있는 진리를 자신이 잘 알고 있고 의미도 알고 있으며 그러한 것이 진리이기 때문이라는 시각과 관점이 매우 중요한 것 같습니다.

 

 

 

 

 

 

제가 때로는 사람들이 만들어 놓은 규칙이나 규율을 무시하거나 지키지 않으려는 마음을 가질 때가 있습니다. 왜냐하면 그러한 규칙이 제 삶을 제한하고 제게 불리하게 작용하기 때문이기도 했습니다. 그러나 중요한 것은 지키지 않았을 때, 또는 지켰을 때 받을 이익이나 불이익이 아니라 그 법이나 규칙에 의로움이 있음을 제가 알기 때문이라고 말씀하고 계십니다. 만일 제가 그러한 법이나 규율이 만들어진 것을 알고 그것이 옳다고 한다면 지키는 것이 당연할 것입니다.

 

 

 

 

 

 

주여, 제가 국내에서 법으로 규정하고 있는 규칙들, 또는 직장에서, 영적인 활동들 속에서 그러한 규율을 지키려는 생각을 가지되 그것들을 마지못해 하는 것이 아니라 그것이 옳다는 인식을 가지고 내용을 알며 지키기 위해 힘쓰는 삶을 살아가길 기도합니다. 오늘도 직장에서 다양한 방식으로 이뤄지는 규칙을 지키려는 선한 동기를 가지고 옳은 것을 지키기 위해 자신의 마음과 힘을 사용하게 되기를 기도합니다. 직장에서 옳지 않다고 여겨지는 규칙이나 규범을 선입관을 가지며 대응하기보다는 그것에 적응하며 최선으로 대응하는 하루가 되길 적용하겠습니다. 예수님의 이름으로 기도합니다. 아멘!

Reasons to obey and follow → Because it's right

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Paul said that the reason we should obey the commands or rules of a government or ruler is not because we will be punished, but because we know it is right (Romans 13:5). I think it's really important to have the perspective and the view that the reason we obey laws and rules is actually because we're afraid of the punishment that comes from not obeying them, but it's also because we know the truth behind them, we know what they mean, and we know that they are the truth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've sometimes been tempted to ignore or not follow rules or regulations that people have created because they limit my life and work against me, but you're saying that what matters is not the benefit or penalty that I will receive if I don't or if I do, but because I know that there is righteousness in that law or rule. If I know that such a law or rule has been made, and I know that it is right, then it would be natural for me to keep it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lord, I pray that I would live a life where I would have the desire to abide by the rules of law in my country, or in my workplace, or in my spiritual pursuits, but not begrudgingly, but knowing them, recognizing that they are right, and striving to abide by them. I pray that today you will have good motives for following the rules in the workplace in many ways, and that you will use your mind and strength to defend what is right. May this be a day when you adapt to rules or norms at work that don't seem right, rather than reacting to them with preconceived notions of what is right. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen!
