하나님 나라의 본질 



              "하나님의 나라는 먹는 것과 마시는 것이 아니요. 

                                        오직 성령 안에서 의와 평강과 희락이라."(로마서: 14장17절)



              바울은 음식규레에 있어 무엇이든 다 먹을 수 있다고 했다. 그러나 덕을 세우기 위해
                 
                   아직 믿음을 가지고 있지 않은 사람들을 배려해서 일부 음식은 기꺼이 

                              먹지 않는 쪽을 택하겠노라고 말했다. 

                     이땅에 펼쳐지기 시작한 하나님의 통치가

            먹고 마시는 문제에 대한 것일까?  우리 모두는 신앙의 본질을 추구해야 한다.

            

                                 하나님의 나라의 본질은 무엇일까요?

                           
             그것은 성령안에서 의와 평강과 희락 이라고 ,바울은 말하고 있죠.

                       그리스도를 통해서 이 땅에 임하기 시작한 하나님의 통치 시대는 믿는 자들 안에 

              거하시는 성령님을 쫓아 살아가는 시대이다.



                      "의" 란 하나님과의 바른 관계이며, "평강"은 의 안에서 사람들과의 화목이며,
 
             " 희락"은 하나님과 사람들과의 바른 관계로 인해 누리게될 기쁨을 말하죠.

                       나의 신앙생활은 하나님의 통치의 열매들을 맺으며, 맛보며, 살고 있는지?

                                    아니면 비본질적인 것에 얽매여 살고 있지는 않는지?~~~
