When We Walk with the Lord (1절) When we walk with the Lord in the light of his Word What a glory he sheds on our way! While we do his good will, he abides with us still, And with all who will trust and obey. Trust and obey, for there's no other way To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

When We Walk with the Lord (2절) Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies, But his smile quickly drives it away; Not a doubt nor a fear, not a sigh nor a tear, Can abide while we trust and obey. Trust and obey, for there's no other way To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

When We Walk with the Lord (3절) Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share, But our toil he doth richly repay; Not a grief nor a loss, not a frown nor a cross, But is blest if we trust and obey. Trust and obey, for there's no other way To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

When We Walk with the Lord (4절) But we never can prove the delights of his love Until all on the altar we lay; For the favor he shows, and the joy he bestows, Are for them who will trust and obey. Trust and obey, for there's no other way To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

When We Walk with the Lord (5절) Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at his feet, Or we will walk by his side in the way; What he says we will do, where he sends we will go, Never fear, only trust and obey. Trust and obey, for there's no other way To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

Apostles’ Creed I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell, the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy universal church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen Let’s recite Apostles' Creed to affirm our faith.

Today’s Psalm Reading: Kye Hee Lee 137 You are righteous, Lord,     and your laws are right. 138 The statutes you have laid down are righteous;     they are fully trustworthy. 139 My zeal wears me out,     for my enemies ignore your words. 140 Your promises have been thoroughly tested,     and your servant loves them. 141 Though I am lowly and despised,     I do not forget your precepts.

Today’s Psalm Reading: Kye Hee Lee 142 Your righteousness is everlasting     and your law is true. 143 Trouble and distress have come upon me,     but your commands give me delight. 144 Your statutes are always righteous;     give me understanding that I may live.

Today’s Reading (Romans 8:26,27) [개역개정] 26. 이와 같이 성령도 우리의 연약함을 도우시나니 우리는 마땅히 기도할 바를 알지 못하나 오직 성령이 말할 수 없는 탄식으로 우리를 위하여 친히 간구하시느니라 27.마음을 살피시는 이가 성령의 생각을 아시나니 이는 성령이 하나님의 뜻대로 성도를 위하여 간구하심이니라

Introduction In his climactic presentation of the ministry of the Holy Spirit in securing the no-condemnation status of believers (see 8:1), Paul focuses on His securing us by guaranteeing our future glory (vv. 17-30). In the previous chapter we studied the incomparable gains that believers possess because of their God-promised glory (vv. 17-18). v.1. Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus vv.17-18 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. I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

Introduction In the present chapter Paul focuses our attention on the anticipation of that glory-the incomparable groans-of creation (vv. 19-22), of believers (vv. 23-25), and of the Holy Spirit Himself (vv. 26-27). A groan is an audible expression of anguish due to physical, emotional, or spiritual pain. These groanings bewail(애통하다) a condition that is painful, unsatisfying, and sorrowful-a cry for deliverance from a torturing experience.

The Groaning of the Holy Spirit (8:26-27) (v.26) And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; (v.27) and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. In the same way refers back to the groans of the creation and of believers for redemption from the corruption and defilement of sin.

The Groaning of the Holy Spirit (8:26-27) Here Paul reveals the immeasurably comforting truth that the Holy Spirit comes alongside us and all creation in groaning for God's ultimate day of restoration and His eternal reign of righteousness. Because of our remaining humanness and susceptibility to sin and doubt, the Holy Spirit also helps us in our weakness.

The Groaning of the Holy Spirit (8:26-27) In this context, weakness doubtless refers to our human condition in general, not to specific weaknesses. The point is that, even after salvation, we are characterized by spiritual weakness. Acting morally, speaking the truth, witnessing for the Lord, or doing any other good thing happens only by the power of the Spirit working in and through us despite our human limitations.

The Groaning of the Holy Spirit (8:26-27) Several times in his letter to the Philippians Paul beautifully pictures that divine-human relationship. Speaking of his own needs, he said, "I know that this shall turn out for my deliverance through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ" (Phil. 1:19). The Spirit supplies us with all we need to be faithful, effective, and protected children of God.

The Groaning of the Holy Spirit (8:26-27) In the following chapter he admonishes, "So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure" (Phil. 2:12-13). The Spirit of God works unrelentingly in us to do what we could never do alone—bring about the perfect will of God.

The Groaning of the Holy Spirit (8:26-27) To make clear how the Spirit works, Paul turns to the subject of prayer. (v.26) for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; Although we are redeemed and absolutely secure in our adoption as God's children, nevertheless we do not know how to pray as we should. Paul does not elaborate on our inability to pray as we ought, but his statement is all-encompassing. Because of our imperfect perspectives, finite minds, human frailties(허약함), and spiritual limitations, we are not able to pray in absolute consistency with God's will.

The Groaning of the Holy Spirit (8:26-27) Many times we are not even aware that spiritual needs exist, much less know how best they should be met. Even the Christian who prays sincerely, faithfully, and regularly cannot possibly know God's purposes concerning all of his own needs or the needs of others for whom he prays. Jesus told Peter, “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”(Luke 22:31-32).

The Groaning of the Holy Spirit (8:26-27) Fortunately for Peter, Jesus kept His word despite the apostle's foolish bravado(허세). Not only was Peter no match for Satan but he soon proved that his devotion to Christ could not even withstand the taunts(비웃음,조롱) of a few strangers (vv. 54-60).

The Groaning of the Holy Spirit (8:26-27) Even the apostle Paul, who lived so near to God and so faithfully and sacrificially proclaimed His gospel, did not always know how best to pray. He knew, for example, that God had allowed Satan to inflict him with an unspecified "thorn in the flesh." That affliction guarded Paul against pride over being "caught up into Paradise." But after a while Paul became weary of the infirmity(질환), which doubtless was severe, and he prayed earnestly that it might be removed.

The Groaning of the Holy Spirit (8:26-27) Even After three entreaties(간청,애원), the Lord told Paul that he should be satisfied with the abundance of divine grace by which he was already sustained in the trial (see 2 Cor. 12:3-9). Paul's request did not correspond to the Lord's will for him at that time. Even when we do not know what God wants, the indwelling Spirit Himself intercedes for us, bringing our needs before God even when we do not know what they are or when we pray about them unwisely.

The Groaning of the Holy Spirit (8:26-27) Paul emphasizes that our help is from the Spirit Himself. His divine help not only is personal but direct. The Spirit does not simply provide our security but is Himself our security. The Spirit intercedes on our behalf in a way, Paul says, that is totally beyond human comprehension, with groanings too deep for words.

The Groaning of the Holy Spirit (8:26-27) Contrary to the interpretation of most charismatics, the groanings of the Spirit are not utterances in unknown tongues, much less ecstatic gibberish(횡설수설) that has no rational content. As Paul says explicitly, the groans are not even audible and are inexpressible in words. Yet those groans carry profound content, namely divine appeals for the spiritual welfare of each believer.

The Groaning of the Holy Spirit (8:26-27) In a way infinitely beyond our understanding, these groanings represent what might be called intertrinitarian communication, divine articulations by the Holy Spirit to the Father. trinitarian a. 삼위일체설을 믿는

The Groaning of the Holy Spirit (8:26-27) We remain justified and righteous before God the Father only because the Son and the Holy Spirit, as our constant advocates and intercessors, represent us before Him. It is only because of that joint and unceasing divine work on our behalf that we will enter heaven.

The Groaning of the Holy Spirit (8:26-27) If it were not for the sustaining power of the Spirit within us and Christ's continual mediation for us as High Priest (Heb. 7:25-26), our remaining humanness would have immediately engulfed us again in sin the moment after we were justified.

The Groaning of the Holy Spirit (8:26-27) And He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, Paul continues. He refers to God the Father, who searches the hearts of men. In the process of selecting a successor to King Saul, the Lord told Samuel, "God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart" (1 Sam. 16:7).

The Groaning of the Holy Spirit (8:26-27) At the dedication of the Temple, Solomon prayed, "hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Forgive and act; deal with everyone according to all they do, since you know their hearts (for you alone know every human heart" (1 Kings 8:39; cf. 1 Chron. 28:9; Ps. 139:1-2; Prov. 15:11).

The Groaning of the Holy Spirit (8:26-27) If the Father knows the hearts of men, how much more does He know the mind of the Spirit. The Father understands exactly what the Spirit is thinking because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. Because the Spirit's will and the Father's will are identical, and because God is one, Paul's statement seems unnecessary. But he is pointing up the truth in order to give encouragement to believers.

The Groaning of the Holy Spirit (8:26-27) Because the three persons of the Godhead have always been one in essence and will, the very idea of communication among them seems superfluous to us. It is a great mystery to our finite minds, but it is a divine reality that God expects His children to acknowledge by faith. Godhead n. 삼위일체 하나님

The Groaning of the Holy Spirit (8:26-27) In this passage Paul emphasizes the divine intercession that is necessary for the preservation of believers to their eternal hope. We can no more fathom that marvelous truth than we can fathom any other aspect of God's plan of redemption. But we know that, were not Christ and the Holy Spirit continually on guard in our behalf, our inheritance in heaven would be reserved for us in vain. No more A than B: A가 아닌 것은 B가 아닌 것과 같다.

Question

This Week’s Conversation A: What kind of body will we have in heaven? B: The bible discloses very little about the nature of a believer’s resurrected body. A: So, we have no idea of it. B: The point is that our resurrected bodies, regardless of their form, appearance, or capabilities, will be sinless, righteous, and immortal.

Next Week’s Conversation A: Do you pray according to God’s will? B: Not always. A: You don’t know God’s will? B: For example, although we are redeemed, we frequently do not know how to pray as we should. A: Really? B: Because our finite minds and spiritual limitations, we are not able to pray in absolute consistency with God’s will.
