아들의 명분에 이르도록 예정하심 | |
성경말씀 | |
엡1:5 또한 하나님 아버지께서 창세 전에 그리스도 안에서 우리를 선택하시어, 사랑 안에서 하나님 앞에 거룩하고 흠이 없게 하셨습니다. 갈4:6 여러분이 아들이기 때문에 하나님은 그분의 아들의 영을 우리 마음 안에 보내 주셨으며, 아들의 영은 "아바 아버지!"라고 외치십니다. | |

Predestinating Us Unto Sonship | |
Bible Verses | |
Ephesians 1:5 Predestinating us unto sonship through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, Galatians 4:6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father! | |
Words of Ministry | |
The goal of God's predestination is sonship. We were predestinated to be sons of God even before we were created. This is according to the good pleasure of His will, which is His purpose. This reveals that God has a will in which is His good pleasure. We have this sonship by God putting the Spirit of His Son into us. At the time we believed in the Lord Jesus and were regenerated, the Spirit of God came into us as the Spirit of the Son of God. This is the reason that after regeneration we can easily and sweetly call, “Abba, Father.” Before we were regenerated, we could say at most, “O, God, help me.” But after we were saved, we spontaneously began to cry, with tender, intimate feeling, “O, Abba, Father.” Without the Spirit, we cannot cry, “Abba, Father,” so sweetly and intimately. But what a pleasant, sweet, and comfortable feeling we have when we say this! This is a strong proof that the Spirit of God is within us. We have the Spirit of sonship.
