아침묵상 QT 나눔

[QT 1]

Faith is not just carrying through my claims. Spiritual maturity can be seen by looking at ‘how considerate you are of others.' The reason why many Christians eat swearing in society is because they have no consideration for others, and only pursue self-interest in the name of faith. I will continue to insist on my own opinions and do not judge others easily. I will live as a spiritually mature person and show God's will with a caring heart for others.

[QT 2]

After hearing all of Paul's missionary reports, the elders of the Jerusalem church, including Apostle James, asked Paul to perform a purification ceremony according to the Law of Moses in order to clear up the misunderstandings of many Jewish believers. Usually, devout Jews had a period of purification ceremony as a means of repentance because they thought that they could be defiled by doing something against the law without their knowledge while traveling. At the beginning and end of the purification ceremony, they shaved their heads and led an ascetic life, and at the end of the period, offerings were made. It is recommended that Paul and his companions perform this purification ceremony together. Paul was well aware that the law was fulfilled through the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, but he performed a purification ceremony to prevent the separation between the Jerusalem church and the Gentile church. Jesus gave me freedom. This freedom is freedom from sin, freedom to serve God and care for others. But many people use this Jesus-given freedom for their own gain. Like Paul, I do not compromise on the truth of the gospel, but I will live a spiritually mature life serving everyone with a caring heart, knowing that it is God's will to serve and care for others with the freedom given by the Lord.
