목양말씀암송 (21) 크게 용서 받은 자이기에, 예수님을 깊이 사랑합니다 (누가복음 7장 47절)

누가복음 7:47 이러므로 내가 네게 말하노니 그의 많은 죄가 사하여졌도다 이는 그의 사랑함이 많음이라 사함을 받은 일이 적은 자는 적게 사랑하느니라 (개역개정) 7:47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven--for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little." (NIV)

7:47 Do you go to church for social connection? Do you read your Bible out of duty? Do you pray in boredom? Do you serve others for what you can get in return? If so, you have forgotten your sin before God and the cross of Christ that cancels all debt (see Col 2:14). Don’t lose sight of how much you’ve been forgiven. Drink in the truth of the gospel, and it will drive you to a deep love for Jesus that spurs you to worship him with passion and serve others sacrificially. 사회적인 관계를 가지기 위해서 교회에 갑니까? 의무적으로 성경을 읽습니까? 지루함으로 기도합니까? 그 대가로 얻을 수 있는 것을 위해 다른 사람들에게 봉사합니까? 만약 그렇다면, 당신은 하나님 앞에서 당신의 죄와, 모든 빚을 갚은 그리스도의 십자가를 잊은 것입니다. 당신이 얼마나 용서받았는지 놓치지 마세요. 복음의 진리를 마시세요. 그리고 그것은 당신을 예수님께 대한 깊은 사랑으로 이끌 것이며, 그분을 열정적으로 경배하며 희생적으로 다른 이들을 섬기도록 자극할 것입니다.

아버지 하나님, 제가 주님 앞에서 어떻게 용서 받았는지 늘 새롭게 기억하기 원합니다. 주님이 이미 베푸신 은혜에 감격하며 감사하기 원합니다. 주님을 향한 사랑이 새로워져서 기쁨으로 주님의 뜻을 따르며, 어려운 이들을 힘써 섬기기 원합니다. 저의 마음과 삶을 변화시켜 주시옵소서. 예수님의 이름으로 기도합니다. 아멘.
