고린도후서 6:18,7:1 말씀을 읽고 도전이 된 내용과 묵상하고 적용할 사항을 정리해 보았습니다.
2 Corinthians 6:18,7:1 "I will be your father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty." 2 Samuel 7:14 Dear friends, we have these promises from God, so we should make ourselves pure - free from anything that makes body or soul unclean. We should try to become holy in the way we live, becuase we respect God.
하나님께서 아버지가 되심→ 우리는 순결한 삶을 살아서 거룩해야 함
하나님께서는 사무엘하 7:14에서 내가 너희들의 하나님이 될 것이며, 너희들은 내 아들과 딸이 될 것이라고 말씀하셨습니다(삼하 7:14). 이러한 약속을 가진 우리들은 우리의 몸과 마음의 더러운 것들을 깨끗하게 해야 하며 하나님을 존경하며 자신을 거룩하게 하기 위해 힘써야 하겠습니다(고후 6:18,7:1).
하나님께서 우리가 자신의 아들과 딸이 된다고 말씀하시는 것은 매우 파격적입니다. 피조물의 아버지가 되신다는 것은 피조물에 대한 하나님의 온전하신 사랑을 나타내신 것이며, 깊은 배려라고 생각합니다. 그럴 때 우리들에게 필요한 것이 무엇인지요? 우리들은 살아가면서 몸과 마음의 더러운 것들을 깨끗하게 하기 위해 힘쓰는 삶이 되어야 하겠습니다.
주여, 오늘 말씀을 통하여 하나님께서 저의 아버지가 되어 주신다는 선포를 다시 보게 하셔서 큰 감사와 감동이 되었습니다. 이러한 약속을 따라 저는 자신을 깨끗하게 하기 위해 힘써야 함을 배우게 되었으며(고후 6:18,7:1), 세상의 가치관으로부터 분리된 삶을 살기 위해 말씀을 되새기며, 영적인 가치관을 넓혀나가는 시도를 하겠습니다. 오늘도 적용을 잘 실천하기를 예수님의 이름으로 기도합니다. 아멘!
Here is the inspiring image depicting a person deeply reflecting on spiritual teachings and striving to live a life aligned with divine promises, inspired by 2 Corinthians 6:18 and 7:1. The scene illustrates the individual's commitment to spiritual growth and separation from worldly values.
God becomes our Father → We must be holy by living pure lives
God said in 2 Samuel 7:14 that I will be your God, and you will be my sons and daughters (2 Samuel 7:14). With this promise, we should cleanse our bodies and minds of filthiness and strive to sanctify ourselves in honor of God (2 Corinthians 6:18; 7:1).
It is very radical for God to say that we become his sons and daughters. To be the father of creation is a manifestation of God's perfect love for creation, and I think it is a deep consideration. What is required of us then? It should be a life of striving to cleanse our bodies and minds of uncleanness as we go through life.
Lord, I am so grateful and touched that today's lesson has brought me back to Your declaration that You will be my Father. In keeping with this promise, I have learned that I must strive to cleanse myself (2 Corinthians 6:18; 7:1), and I will attempt to live a life that is separate from the values of the world and to expand my spiritual values as I reflect on Your Word. I pray that I will be good at applying it today, in Jesus' name. Amen!
