성경말씀 | |
갈2:20 나는 그리스도와 함께 십자가에 못 박혔습니다. 그러므로 이제는 더 이상 내가 사는 것이 아니라, 그리스도께서 내 안에 사십니다... (롬8:4) 이것은 육체를 따라 행하지 않고 영을 따라 행하는 우리 안에서 율법의 의로운 요구가 이루어지도록 하시려는 것이었습니다. | |

Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me... Romans 8:4 That the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the spirit. | |
Words of Ministry | |
As one who is familiar with both the Bible and the teachings of Confucius, I have come to realize that in their daily living many Christians live as if they were disciples of Confucius. Under the influence of the religious concept, they regard the Bible as a book of doctrines and ethical teachings. For example, a sister may try desperately to submit to her husband. In doing this, she is actually living like a follower of Confucius [since he taught the need for submission], all the while believing that she is being a good Christian.... We all know that in Ephesians 5:22 Paul exhorts the wives to be subject to their own husbands. But do not forget that this follows his word about being filled in spirit (v. 18). This indicates that a wife's submission should come out of the infilling of the Spirit [which is the essence of the Christian life], not out of an outward, deliberate attempt to be submissive. If a sister's submission is genuine, it will not require deliberate effort. On the contrary, she will submit spontaneously out of her experience of Christ and her enjoyment of Him. She may not even realize that she is submissive, for she submits without purposely trying to do so. Such submission comes out of the element of Christ that has been imparted into that sister. How different this is from submitting because she has been taught to be under the headship of her husband! | |
