로마서 14:17 말씀을 읽고 도전이 된 내용과 묵상하고 적용할 사항을 정리해 보았습니다.
Romans 14:17 In the kingdom of God, eating and drinking are not important. The important things are living right with God, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
천국에서 중요한 것 → 성령 안에서 하나님과 평안과 기쁨으로 의로운 삶을 사는 것
하나님의 나라(kingdom of God)에서는 먹고 마시는 것은 중요하지 않으며, 중요한 것은 성령 안에서 하나님과 평안과 기쁨으로 의로운, 옳은 삶을 사는 것이라고 바울은 말하고 있습니다(롬 14:17).
이 세상에서는 먹고 마시는 것이 중요합니다. "다 살자고 하는 것이니 이제 잘 먹자!"라고 말하는 경우를 많이 봅니다. '금강산도 식후경'이라고 말하는 경우도 많이 있습니다. 먹고 마시는 것은 살아가면서 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있습니다. 먹고 마시는 것이 해결되지 않는다면 모든 것이 그것에 초점 맞춰져 있을 것입니다. 그만큼 먹고 마시는 것은 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있습니다. 그러나 우리가 바라보는 하나님의 나라는 어떨까요? 하나님의 나라에서는 중요한 것이 우선 성령 안에 있는 것입니다. 성령 안에 있으면서 전능하신 하나님과 그 안에서 평안과 기쁨을 충만하게 누리는 것이 중요하며, 그러한 충만함 속에서 옳은 것을 하는 것이 중요합니다. 옳다는 것은 하나님을 아는 것이며, 하나님께 온전한 초점이 맞춰진 삶을 의미합니다. 하나님의 나라를 생각하며 의로운 삶을 살 수 있는 시간이 되며 하나님과 깊이 있는 교제를 이루는 삶을 살아갈 수 있어야 하겠습니다.
주여, 오늘을 살아가면서 세상에서 먹고 마시는 것을 중요하게 생각하며 살아가지만 성령 안에서 평안과 기쁨을 충만히 누리고 의로운 삶을 살아가는 시간이 되길 기도합니다. 오늘은 성령 안에 거하는 삶을 살아가도록 지속적으로 성령을 의뢰하는 삶을 살고, 평안과 기쁨을 누리도록 의식적으로 시도하고, 성령을 구하는 기도를 순간순간 숨기도처럼 드리는 적용을 하겠습니다. 예수님의 이름으로 기도합니다. 아멘!

What matters in heaven → Living a righteous life in the Holy Spirit with peace and joy with God
Paul says that in the kingdom of God, eating and drinking are not important; what is important is living a righteous life in the Holy Spirit, with peace and joy with God (Romans 14:17).
In this world, eating and drinking are important. We often hear people say, “Let's live to eat, so let's eat well!” or “The Diamond Mountain Sutra” or “The Diamond Mountain Sutra”. Eating and drinking are very important in life. If eating and drinking is not solved, everything will be centered on it. So eating and drinking is very important. But what about the kingdom of God that we are looking at? In the kingdom of God, the important thing is first of all to be in the Holy Spirit, to have the fullness of God Almighty and peace and joy in Him, and in that fullness it is important to do what is right. Being right means knowing God and living a life that is completely focused on God. It is a time to think about the kingdom of God, to live a righteous life, and to live a life of deep communion with God.
Lord, I pray that as we go through this day, we will live a life of righteousness, living in the fullness of peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, even as we consider the things of this world important to eat and drink. Today, I will make the application to live a life of continual dependence on the Holy Spirit to help me live a life of abiding in the Holy Spirit, to make a conscious attempt to have peace and joy, and to pray a prayer for the Holy Spirit as a moment-by-moment, hidden prayer. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen!
