로마서 9:30-31 말씀을 읽고 도전이 된 내용과 묵상하고 적용할 사항을 정리해 보았습니다.
Romans 9:30-31 So what does all this mean? Those who are not Jews were not trying to make themselves right with God, but they were made right with God because of their faith . The people of Israel tried to follow a law to make themselves right with God . But they did not succeed, because they tried to make themselves right by the things they did instead of trusting in God to make them right . They stumbled over the stone that causes people to stumble.
전능자에게 의미 있는 것 → 믿음
바울은 선지자들의 말을 인용하면서(롬 9:25-29), 그러한 말씀들이 의미하는 것이 무엇인지를 정리해 주었습니다. 즉, 많은 사람들이 하나님께 옳다 여김을 받기 위해 노력했으나 결국은 믿음에 의해 옳다 여김을 받았으며, 이스라엘 민족들은 율례와 규례를 지키는 것으로 옳다고 여김 받기를 원했지만 성공하지 못했다고 정리했습니다(30-31절).
사실상 하나님, 즉 전능하신 분께 의미 있는 것은 우리 사람들이 옳다고 여기는 것들을 행하는 것이 아니라 눈에 보이지 않는 하나님, 전능하신 하나님을 인정하며 살아가는 삶이 되어야 하며, 그와 같이 인정하는 삶이란 하나님을 따르며 하나님을 신뢰하는 것이라고 인정할 수 있습니다. 자신이 이 세상에서 준비하는 제사나 형식, 재물 등으로 전능자가 잠시 기뻐할지 모르겠으나 진실로 하나님께로부터 인정받는 가치는 바로 전능하신 하나님을 신뢰함으로 이 세상에 의지하거나 의존하지 않고 오직 믿음으로 반응하며 살아가는 삶이어야 함을 나타내주고 있습니다.
주여, 주님의 선하심을 따라 세상 가운데 나아가며 선하심을 인정하고 주님을 깊이 신뢰함으로 주님의 전능하심을 높이 찬양하며 오늘도 하나님을 인정하고 신뢰하며 깊이 따르려는 마음속의 동기로 마음속에 내주 하시는 주님의 음성을 따라 순종하며 자신의 의지나 노력이나 정력이 아니라 하나님의 뜻을 따라 순종하며 살아가고 하나님의 길인지를 분별하려는 시도를 지속하는 삶을 살도록 기도합니다. 아멘!
Here is the image depicting a contemporary Christian scene, where an individual is seen dedicating their life to following God in a modern urban setting. You can see the person pausing amidst their busy day to engage in a moment of prayer.
What is meaningful to the Almighty → Faith
Paul quoted the words of the prophets (Romans 9:25-29) and summarized what those words meant: that many people tried to be right with God but were ultimately justified by faith, and that the Israelites wanted to be right by keeping the laws and regulations but were unsuccessful (vv. 30-31).
In effect, we can acknowledge that what is meaningful to God, the Almighty, is not doing what we think is right, but living a life that acknowledges the invisible God, the Almighty, and that to live a life of acknowledgment is to follow God and trust in God. Although the Almighty may be pleased for a moment with the sacrifices, forms, and possessions that one prepares in this world, the value that is truly recognized by God is that one should live a life of trust in Almighty God, not relying on or depending on this world, but responding with faith.
Lord, as we go forth in the world according to your goodness, acknowledging your goodness and deeply trusting in you, we praise you highly for your omnipotence, and pray that we may live our lives today with the motivation to acknowledge, trust, and deeply follow you, following your voice in our hearts, obeying your will, not our own will, effort, or energy, but living in obedience to God's will, and continually attempting to discern whether it is God's way. Amen.
