No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:4-6Jesus confirms to the disciples that He is indeed the way for them to besaved and welcomed in right relationship with God.  - P111

그러나 이미 주께서 우리에게 무엇을 해야 하는지 분명...

그러나 이미 주께서 우리에게 무엇을 해야 하는지 분명히 알려주셨음에도불구하고 계속 꿈만 꾸고 있다면 이는 악한 것입니다."  - P66

신앙생활에는 하나님의 음성을 듣기 위해 묵상해야 하는 때가 있고, 그 말씀을 듣고 행동해야 할 때도 있습니다. - P66

 하나님의 음성은 늘 우리와 함께하지만, 모든 사람이 그 음성을 듣는 것은 아닙니다. 하나님의 음성에 귀를 기울여야 합니다. 우리에게 들리는 하나님의 음성이 분명하다는 확신이 들 때는 순종하며 움직여야 합니다. 예수님은 제자들에게
‘일어나서 여기를 떠나자‘라고 말씀하십니다. 제자로 부름 받은 우리는 사명을감당할 곳을 향해 움직여 나아가야 합니다. - P66

순종은 하나님의 손을 붙잡는 열쇠입니다. - P66

주님을 사랑하면 지금 그분을 위해할 수 있는 일들이 너무나 많은데, 당신은 그저 주님의 구속의 위대함만 묵상하고 있습니까?" 우리의 마음을 아프게 찌르는 지적입니다.

한줄노트 주님을 사랑한다고 하면서 아무것도 하지 않고 있다면, 교묘한 방식으로 주님을 속이고 자신을 기만하는 것입니다. - P67

34"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. - P104

38Then Jesus answered, "Will you really lay down your life for me? Very truly I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times! - P105

This love goes beyond mere words; it is selfless, sacrificial, and lifegiving. Jesus has shown them this love through the humble act of washing their feet and will soon demonstrate the ultimate act of love on the cross. - P106

good intentions and willpower are not enough when facing spiritual trials. We cannot follow Christ faithfully in our own strength. Like Peter, we often overestimate our ability to serve God without depending on the Holy Spirit. When we rely on our flesh, we are more vulnerable to temptation and failure. - P106

Being led by the Spirit ensures that we align our actions with God’s will and not our own impulses. - P106

Heavenly Father, I surrender my will to You. Lead me by Your Spirit so that I do not rely on my own strength but trust in Your guidance. Align my thoughts and desires with Your will, today and always. In Jesus’ name, amen. - P107

[오늘의 한문장] 하나님의 시선

하나님은 온 세상을 두루두루 살펴보십니다. 우리는지극히 평범한 일상에서 하나님이 보이지 않는다고 나태하거나 침체되어 있지않은지 생각해 보아야 합니다. - P65

지혜로운 사람은 지금 눈앞에 주어진 삶을 가장 충실하게 사는 사람입니다. 지금 있는 그 자리에서 ‘일어나 빛을 발하는 순간 그 일은 거룩해집니다. - P65
