롬8:14~34 성령의 기도
8:14 because those who are led by the Spirit of God 
are sons of God.


8:15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you 
a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of 
sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."


8:16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit 
that we are God's children.


8:17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs 
of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in 
his sufferings in order that we may also share in his
glory.


8:18 I consider that our present sufferings are not 
worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed
in us.


8:19 The creation waits in eager expectation 
for the sons of God to be revealed.


8:20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, 
not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who 
subjected it, in hope


8:21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its 
bondage to decay and brought into the glorious 
freedom of the children of God.


8:22 We know that the whole creation has been 
groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to 
the present time.


8:23 Not only so, but we ourselves, 
who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly 
as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, 
the redemption of our bodies.


8:24 For in this hope we were saved. 
But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes 
for what he already has?



8:25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, 
we wait for it patiently.


8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our 
weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, 
but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans 
that words cannot express.


8:27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind 
of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes 
for the saints in accordance with God's will.


8:28 And we know that in all things God works for 
the good of those who love him, who have been called
according to his purpose.


8:29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be 
conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be
the firstborn among many brothers.


8:30 And those he predestined, he also called; 
those he called, he also justified; those he justified,
he also glorified.


8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this?
 If God is for us, who can be against us?


8:32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him 
up for us all--how will he not also, along with him, 
graciously give us all things?


8:33 Who will bring any charge against those whom 
God has chosen? It is God who justifies.


8:34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, 
who died--more than that, who was raised to life--
is at the right hand of God and is also interceding 
for us.

눅4:13~30
4:13 When the devil had finished all this tempting, 
       he left him until an opportune time.


4:14 Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, 
       and news about him spread through
       the whole countryside.


4:15 He taught in their synagogues, 
       and everyone praised him.


4:16 He went to Nazareth, 
       where he had been brought up, 
       and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue,
       as was his custom. And he stood up to read.


4:17 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. 
       Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:


4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, 
        because he has anointed me to preach
        good news to the poor. 
        He has sent me to proclaim freedom for
        the prisoners
        and recovery of sight for the blind, 
        to release the oppressed,


4:19 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."

4:20 Then he rolled up the scroll, 
       gave it back to the attendant and sat down. 
       The eyes of everyone in the synagogue
       were fastened on him,


4:21 and he began by saying to them, 
       "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."


4:22 All spoke well of him and were amazed 
       at the gracious words that came from his lips. 
       "Isn't this Joseph's son?" they asked.


4:23 Jesus said to them, "Surely you will quote 
       this proverb to me: 
       'Physician, heal yourself! Do here in your hometown
       what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.'"


4:24 "I tell you the truth," he continued, 
       "no prophet is accepted in his hometown.


4:25 I assure you that there were many widows in Israel 
       in Elijah's time, when the sky was shut for three and
       a half years and there was a severe famine
       throughout the land.


4:26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, 
       but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon.


4:27 And there were many in Israel with leprosy 
       in the time of Elisha the prophet, 
       yet not one of them was cleansed--
       only Naaman the Syrian."


4:28 All the people in the synagogue were furious 
       when they heard this.


4:29 They got up, drove him out of the town, 
       and took him to the brow of the hill on which
       the town was built, in order to
       throw him down the cliff.


4:30 But he walked right through the crowd 
       and went on his way.

벧전5:1~11

 

1 To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, 
a witness of Christ's sufferings and one who also will 
share in the glory to be revealed:


2 Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, 
serving as overseers--not because you must, 
but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; 
not greedy for money, but eager to serve;


3 not lording it over those entrusted to you,
but being examples to the flock.


4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, 
you will receive the crown of glory that will 
never fade away.


5 Young men, in the same way be submissive to 
those who are older. 
All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward 
one another, because, "God opposes the proud but 
gives grace to the humble."


6 Humble yourselves, therefore, 
under God's mighty hand, 
that he may lift you up in due time.


7 Cast all your anxiety on him because 
he cares for you.


8 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy 
the devil prowls around like a roaring lion 
looking for someone to devour.


9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because 
you know that your brothers throughout 
the world are undergoing the same 
kind of sufferings.


10 And the God of all grace, who called you to 
his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered 
a little while, will himself restore you and make you 
strong, firm and steadfast.


11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

1 Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts,
especially the gift of prophecy.


2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak 
to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; 
he utters mysteries with his spirit.


3 But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their 
strengthening, encouragement and comfort.


4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who 
prophesies edifies the church.


5 I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, 
but I would rather have you prophesy. 
He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in 
tongues, unless he interprets, 
so that the church may be edified.


6 Now, brothers, if I come to you and speak in tongues, 
what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some 
revelation or knowledge or prophecy or 
word of instruction?


7 Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, 
such as the flute or harp, how will anyone know 
what tune is being played unless there is a distinction 
in the notes?


8 Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, 
who will get ready for battle?


9 So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words 
with your tongue, how will anyone know 
what you are saying? 
You will just be speaking into the air.


10 Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages 
in the world, yet none of them is without meaning.


11 If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone 
is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, 
and he is a foreigner to me.


12 So it is with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, 
try to excel in gifts that build up the church.


13 For this reason anyone who speaks in a tongue 
should pray that he may interpret what he says.


14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, 
but my mind is unfruitful.


15 So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, 
but I will also pray with my mind; 
I will sing with my spirit, 
but I will also sing with my mind.


16 If you are praising God with your spirit,
how can one who finds himself among those 
who do not understand say "Amen" 
to your thanksgiving, 
since he does not know what you are saying?


17 You may be giving thanks well enough, 
but the other man is not edified.


18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than 
all of you.


19 But in the church I would rather speak 
five intelligible words to instruct others than 
ten thousand words in a tongue.

요8:1~20 정죄와 판단을 하는 자
1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, 
where all the people gathered around him, 
and he sat down to teach them.


3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees 
brought in a woman caught in adultery. 
They made her stand before the group


4 and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught
 in the act of adultery.


5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone 
such women. Now what do you say?"


6 They were using this question as a trap, 
in order to have a basis for accusing him. 
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground 
with his finger.


7 When they kept on questioning him, 
he straightened up and said to them,
"If any one of you is without sin, 
let him be the first to throw a stone at her."


8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

9 At this, those who heard began to go away one 
at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, 
with the woman still standing there.


10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, 
"Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"


11 "No one, sir," she said. "Then neither do 
I condemn you," Jesus declared. 
"Go now and leave your life of sin."


12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, 
"I am the light of the world. 
Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, 
but will have the light of life."


13 The Pharisees challenged him, 
"Here you are, appearing as your own witness; 
your testimony is not valid."


14 Jesus answered, "Even if I testify on my own behalf, 
my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and 
where I am going. But you have no idea where I come 
from or where I am going.


15 You judge by human standards; 
I pass judgment on no one.


16 But if I do judge, my decisions are right, 
because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, 
who sent me.


17 In your own Law it is written that 
the testimony of two men is valid.


18 I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness 
is the Father, who sent me."


19 Then they asked him, "Where is your father?"
 "You do not know me or my Father," Jesus replied. 
"If you knew me, you would know my Father also."


20 He spoke these words while teaching in the temple 
area near the place where the offerings were put. 
Yet no one seized him, 
because his time had not yet come.

INTRODUCTION

The God we believe in is a good God. The first thing God did was to create the heavens and the earth and all things therein by His Word. After completing the creation of all things, God then made man to rule over the earth that He had created. God's purpose in creating man was to have communion and fellowship with him and to receive glory. To fulfil this purpose, God established the garden of Eden, a blessed place where man could live and meet with Him. To live happily with all the blessings was the only thing that man had to do there. His living in the garden had already been endowed by God. But the first man, Adam, and his wife Eve transgressed by surrendering themselves to Satan's temptation through the snake. Man was judged by God and was driven out of the garden, falling under the curse of death. Therefore, without the providence of our loving God's redemptive plan for us through Jesus Christ, we sinners would have been condemned forever and bound to suffer helplessly in the pit of eternal damnation.

LEADING QUESTIONS

1) Christians should live for whose glory?

       (1 Corinthians 10:31)

2) Who is "I" in today's scripture?

      (1 Corinthians 10:31-33)

3) What should we offer to God as His children?

     (Isaiah 43:21)


TODAY'S MESSAGE

 In the beginning God created the sky and the earth (Genesis 1:1). After He had created all things by His Word, God created human beings to take charge over them (Genesis 1:27). Evolutionists deny the idea of creation by God, but people today no longer pay attention to the fallacy of the theory of evolution.

There are things about God that people cannot see - his eternal power and all the things that make him God. But since the beginning of the world those things have been easy to understand. They are made clear by what God has made. So people have no excuse for the bad things they do. (Romans 1:20)

Why did God create all things? What is the purpose of His creation?

 

The Purpose of God's Creation of All Things

First, God created all things for man. This is clearly shown when we look into the order of the creation as follows:


1) The mineral kingdom - including the air or "firmament", the earth, the sea, and so forth.
2) The vegetable kingdom - that which can be rooted in the mineral world.
3) The animal kingdom - the vegetable kingdom that sustains the life of animals.
4) Then God created man to rule over all of His creation.


God's purpose in creation was to reveal Himself to man by creating a beautiful world for him and giving that created world to him to enjoy and to dominate. After He created the world, God especially provided the garden of Eden for man where there was no ruin, no hurt, no lack, but only abundance. Yet when Adam and Eve transgressed they were driven out of the garden and began to experience the curse and spiritual death. Later, God sent Jesus Christ to make atonement for man's sin so that all mankind could be born again through the blood of Jesus Christ. So, to save man, God provided the suffering of the cross in which His purpose of creation was fulfilled. Only those born of God through Jesus Christ can truly fulfil God's creation purpose (John 1:1-18, 1 Peter 1:3).

As we have shared, God created all things for man and though man sinned and was removed from the garden, to fulfil His purpose of creation, God sent Jesus Christ later to suffer on the cross to restore man's rightful place with God. Unbelievers trust all the imperfect and mortal things of the world that pass away with time, but we, who have found the purpose of God's creation through the grace of Jesus Christ, trust only our God, the Creator. King David confessed in Psalm 20:7:

Some trust in chariots, others in horses. But we trust the Lord our God.

This good God pours out His grace and love unto those who trust Him only. God blesses with all things those who trust God, truly desire His kingdom and want to do His will (Matthew 6:33).

 

The Purpose of God's Creation of Man

Many people,  especially  middle-aged  non-believers who have lived half of their days,  are seized with fear, doubt and hopelessness as they still do not know the meaning of life. They have struggled day and night with many goals for a better life but even after having achieved those things they still cannot help but feel an emptiness with the question, "What is the real meaning of life after all?" Blessed is the man who has found the meaning and purpose of his life.

What is the purpose and meaning of the creation of man? 

 

First, God created man for His glory (Isaiah 43:7).

When God created Adam, He wanted to receive glory through him. He wanted Adam to give worship, praise and glory to God for the blessings that had been bestowed on him.

It is the same today. The ultimate responsibility of man is to worship, praise and glorify God. The apostle Paul taught believers in Thessalonica:

Always be happy. Never stop praying. Give thanks whatever happens. That is what God wants for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

Therefore, whether we eat, drink or whatever we do, we should do all to the glory of God.

Second, God created man to manifest His glory through man.

Before Adam fell, he didn't need to worry about what to eat, what to wear, or where to sleep since his good God provided every need for him. Jesus Christ affirms too that all the needs of humanity are God's business but our priority is seeking His kingdom and doing what He wants (Matthew 6:31-33).

Therefore, we must give ourselves to God so that God can accomplish His will through our living and this will bring glory to God.

Third, God created man to share His love.

God is love (1 John 4:8). To love, there must be an object to love and God made man as His object of love. So our God, the God of love, created man to share His abundant love through fellowship and communion. Adam and Eve, however, disobeyed God and were cast out of the garden of Eden. They lost God's love.

But God provided a way to restore man through the cross of Jesus so that man now can receive God's love and can have fellowship with God again through the Word of God.

Humanity was never meant to be empty creatures thrown out to the world aimlessly like some philosopher's jabber. Man has a definite purpose and reason to exist. That purpose and reason is to give worship, praise and glory to God who did not even spare His only Son to be crucified on the cross, so that He could restore us and bless us. Therefore let us be awakened to discover the love of God and live up to His desire to receive joy and glory through our worship and praise.

 

CLOSING QUESTIONS

1) For whom did God create all things? 

     (Find answer from today's message.) 

 

2) By whom were all things created? 

     (Colossians 1:15-20, Hebrews 1:1-4) 

 

3) What makes people praise our Father in heaven when they see believers? 

      (Matthew 5:16)

APPLICATION

1. Let us examine our present life and discuss with each other if we are truly living a life 

   that glorifies our Heavenly Father or not.

2. Let us meditate on how Jesus Christ manifested the fact that God created man for His love.

I prayed in the name of Jesus. Amen

18:15 "If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, 

just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.

18:16 But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, 

so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.'

18:17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; 

and if he refuses to listen even to the church,

treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.

18:18 "I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, 

and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

18:19 "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, 

it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.

18:20 For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."

18:21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, 

"Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? 

Up to seven times?"

18:22 Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

18:23 "Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with 

his servants.

18:24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him.

18:25 Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.

18:26 "The servant fell on his knees before him. 'Be patient with me,' he begged, '

and I will pay back everything.'

18:27 The servant's master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.

18:28 "But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants 

who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him. 

'Pay back what you owe me!' he demanded.

18:29 "His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him,

 'Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.'

18:30 "But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison 

until he could pay the debt.

18:31 When the other servants saw what had happened, 

they were greatly distressed and went and told their master everything that had happened.

18:32 "Then the master called the servant in. 'You wicked servant,' 

he said, 'I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to.

18:33 Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?'

18:34 In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, 

until he should pay back all he owed.

18:35 "This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you 

unless you forgive your brother from your heart."
