Romans 15:16a Greetings to Apelles, who was tested and proved that he truly loves Christ.
테스트받고 입증받아야 하는 것 → 진실로 그리스도를 사랑하는가?
바울은 하펠레에게 문안하라고 말하며, 그 아펠레는 그리스도를 진정으로 사랑하는지를 테스트받고 입증된 분이라고 소개했습니다(롬 15:16 a).
살아가면서 많은 종류의 테스트를 받고 입증하려 노력하지만 제가 누구를 위해, 무엇을 위해, 어떻게, 언제 그리스도를 사랑하는지, 그것도 진실한 마음으로 사랑하는지는 생각하지 않는 경우가 많습니다. 제가 테스트받고 입증받아야 하는 것이 무엇일까요? 테스트에서 좋은 점수를 받아서 통과하고자 하는 마음이 많이 있습니다만, 그리스도와 관련된 테스트를 받고 그것에서 입증받을 수 있는 테스트라면 확실히 받아야 하고 그 테스트에서 입증받을 수 있는 자가 되어야 하겠습니다. 사람들로부터 테스트를 받는 것도 어려운 일입니다만, 주님께서 테스트하신다면 이는 완전한 테스트가 되어서 제 마음속 내면의 모든 것을 테스트하실 수 있는 분이시고 저의 내면의 마음을 보시는 분께서 진실로 마음으로 하시는 분이실 것입니다.
주여, 제가 주님을 위하는 삶을 살아가며 주님을 생각하려는 마음을 가지고 주님과 깊이 동행하려는 선한 동기력을 가지고 살아가는 자가 되길 간절히 기도드립니다. 주여, 제가 주님을 따르려는 마음을 가지고 살아가는 자가 되길 간절히 기도합니다. 주여, 제가 주님과 더불어 동행하다가 주님께서 주시는 테스트를 능히 감당하므로 그 테스트에서 이기는 자가 되길 간절히 기도합니다. 주여, 제 마음을 살피시고 저를 인도하시며 주님과 깊이 동행하는 자가 되길 간절히 기도합니다. 오늘을 살아가면서 그리스도를 진실로 사랑하는지를 테스트하는 날로 여기고 하루를 진실하며 경건하게 살아가는 하루가 되길 간절히 기도합니다. 오늘이 테스트받는 날이며, 주님께서 지켜보신다는 생각으로 하루를 살아가고, 제 삶을 저녁에 평가하는 적용을 하겠습니다. 진실로 그리스도를 사랑하는지를 스스로 점검하는 하루가 되길 간절히 기도드립니다. 예수님의 이름으로 기도합니다. 아멘!

What needs to be tested and proven → Do you truly love Christ?
Paul tells us to ask Hapele, and he introduces him as someone who has been tested and proven to truly love Christ (Romans 15:16 a).
In my life, I try to be tested and proven in many ways, but I often don't think about who, what, how, and when I love Christ, or whether I love Him with a sincere heart. What is it that I need to be tested and proven for? There are many things that I want to do to get a good score on a test and pass it, but if it's a test that has to do with Christ and I can be vindicated by it, then I should definitely take it and be the one who can be vindicated by it. It's hard enough to be tested by people, but if it's the Lord testing me, it's a perfect test, and He's the one who can test everything in my heart, and He's the one who sees my inner heart, and He's the one who is truly in my heart.
Lord, I earnestly pray that I may live my life for You, that I may have a heart to think of You and a good motive to walk deeply with You. Lord, I fervently pray that I will live my life with a heart to follow You, with a mind to think of You, with a good motivation to walk deeply with You. Lord, I pray that I will be able to handle the tests that You give me in my walk with You, and that I will be able to overcome them. Lord, I pray that you will search my heart, guide me, and deepen my walk with you. I fervently pray that I will see today as a day to test whether I truly love Christ in my life, and that I will live my day with integrity and godliness. I pray that I will live my day as if it is a day of testing, that I will live my day as if the Lord is watching, and that I will apply the application of evaluating my life in the evening. I pray that I will live my day as if it is a day of testing to see if I truly love Christ.I pray this in Jesus' name. Amen!
