Apostle’s 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

Today’s Psalm Reading: Kye Hee Lee Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;     his love endures forever. Let Israel say: “His love endures forever.” Let the house of Aaron say: “His love endures forever.” Let those who fear the Lord say: “His love endures forever.” When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord;     he brought me into a spacious place. The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid.     What can mere mortals do to me? The Lord is with me; he is my helper.     I look in triumph on my enemies. It is better to take refuge in the Lord     than to trust in humans.

Today’s Psalm Reading: Kye Hee Lee It is better to take refuge in the Lord     than to trust in princes. All the nations surrounded me,     but in the name of the Lord I cut them down. They surrounded me on every side,     but in the name of the Lord I cut them down. They swarmed around me like bees,     but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns;     in the name of the Lord I cut them down. I was pushed back and about to fall, but the Lord helped me. The Lord is my strength and my defense;     he has become my salvation. Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: “The Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!

Today’s Prayer Prayer by : Kye Hee Lee

This Week’s Verse “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” (Math. 5:17) (Feb. 12)

Next Week’s Verse But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (Gal. 5:22,23) (Feb. 19)

Today’s Reading Romans 8:1-4 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

Today’s Reading 그러므로 이제 그리스도 예수 안에 있는 자에게는 결코 정죄함이 없나니 Romans 8:1-4 그러므로 이제 그리스도 예수 안에 있는 자에게는 결코 정죄함이 없나니 이는 그리스도 예수 안에 있는 생명의 성령의 법이 죄와 사망의 법에서 너를 해방하였음이라 율법이 육신으로 말미암아 연약하여 할 수 없는 그것을 하나님은 하시나니 곧 죄로 말미암아 자기 아들을 죄 있는 육신의 모양으로 보내어 육신에 죄를 정하사 육신을 따르지 않고 그 영을 따라 행하는 우리에게 율법의 요구가 이루어지게 하려 하심이니라

29. Life in the Spirit (Romans 8:1-4)

Introduction Paul proclaims in Romans 8:1–4 the unspeakably(말할 수 없을 정도로) wonderful truth about those who, by grace working through faith, belong to Jesus Christ. Paul proclaims to believers the thrilling promise that fills the heart with immeasurable consolation, joy, and hope In presenting God’s salvation promise to believers, Paul focuses on its reality, no condemnation (v. la); its reason, justification (vv. lb-2); its route, substitution (v. 3); and its result, sanctification (v. 4).

The Result of Freedom – Sanctification (8:4) Verse 8:4 (NIV) in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. (NASB) in order that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

The Result of Freedom – Sanctification (8:4) The believer’s freedom from sin results in his present as well as in his ultimate sanctification. The true Christian has both the desire and the divinely-imparted ability to live righteously while he is still on earth. Because God sent His own Son to redeem mankind by providing the only sacrifice that can condemn and remove their sin (v. 3), the requirement of the Law is able to be fulfilled in us, that is, in believers.

The Result of Freedom – Sanctification (8:4) Paul obviously is not speaking here of the justifying work of salvation but of its sanctifying work, its being lived out in the believer’s earthly life. Apart from the working of the Holy Spirit through the life of a redeemed person, human efforts at righteousness are as contaminated and useless as filthy garments (Isa. 64:6). But because the Christian has been cleansed of sin and been given God’s own divine nature within him, he now longs for and is able to live a life of holiness. live out something: to do in reality something that you think about, believe in, dream of, etc. (생각만 하던 것을) 실행하다.

The Result of Freedom – Sanctification (8:4) God does not free men from their sin in order for them to do as they please but to do as He pleases. God does not redeem men in order that they may continue sinning but in order that they may begin to live righteously by having the requirement of the Law … fulfilled in them. Because they are no longer under law but are now under grace, some Christians claim that it makes little difference what they do, because just as nothing they could have done could have saved them, so nothing they now do can cause them to lose their salvation.

The Result of Freedom – Sanctification (8:4) But the Holy Spirit could never prompt(촉발하다) a Christian to make such a foolish and ungodly statement. The spiritual Christian knows that God’s law is holy, righteous, and good (Rom. 7:12) and that he has been saved in order to have that divine holiness, righteousness, and goodness fulfilled in him. And that is his desire. He has holy longings. The phrase who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit is not an admonition but a statement of fact that applies to all believers. As Paul explains several verses later, no person who belongs to Christ is without the indwelling Holy Spirit (v. 9).

The Result of Freedom – Sanctification (8:4) Being indwelt by the Spirit is not a mark of special maturity or spirituality but the mark of every true Christian, without exception. In its figurative sense, peripateō (to walk) refers to a habitual way or bent(취향) of life, to a life-style. Luke describes Zacharias and Elizabeth, the parents of John the Baptist, as being “righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and requirements of the Lord” (Luke 1:6). [NASB] Paul counseled the Ephesian believers to “walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind” (Eph. 4:17). [NASB]

The Result of Freedom – Sanctification (8:4) Paul asserts that a true believer—whether young or old, immature or mature, well taught or poorly taught—does not walk according to the flesh. Just as categorically he declares that a true believer does walk according to the Spirit. There are no exceptions. Because every true believer is indwelt by the Spirit, every true believer will produce the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22–23). categorically ad. 절대적으로, 단언적으로; 명확히. They totally and categorically deny the charges.

The Result of Freedom – Sanctification (8:4) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, (  ), peace, (  ), kindness, goodness, (  ), gentleness and (  ). Against such things there is no law. (Gal. 5:22,23) (Feb. 19)

The Result of Freedom – Sanctification (8:4) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, ( joy ), peace, ( forbearance ), kindness, goodness, ( faithfulness ), gentleness and ( self-control ). Against such things there is no law. (Gal. 5:22,23) (Feb. 19)

The Result of Freedom – Sanctification (8:4) Nothing is dearer(소중한) to God’s heart than the moral and spiritual excellence of those He has created in His own image. He does not want them to have only imputed righteousness but practical righteousness as well. And that also is what they want. It is practical righteousness about which Paul speaks here, just as he does in the opening words of his letter to the church at Ephesus: “[God] chose us in [Christ] before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him” (Eph. 1:4).

The Result of Freedom – Sanctification (8:4) It is God’s great desire that believers live out the perfect righteousness. Positional righteousness is to be reflected in practical righteousness. And through His indwelling Spirit, He gives believers that desire.

The Result of Freedom – Sanctification (8:4) The purpose of the gospel is not to make men happy but to make them holy. As the Beatitudes make clear, genuine happiness comes to those who belong to Christ and are obedient to His will. God promises happiness, but He demands holiness, without which “no one will see the Lord” (Heb. 12:14).

The Result of Freedom – Sanctification (8:4) Righteousness is the very heart of salvation. It is for righteousness that God saves those who trust in His Son. (Rom. 1:16–17). For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

The Result of Freedom – Sanctification (8:4) Practical righteousness leads believers “to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly(분별있게, 현명하게), righteously and godly in the present age” (Titus 2:11–12; cf. Gal. 5:24–25). Practical Righteousness  Holiness Scripture is clear that, in some mystical way known only to God, a person begins to walk by the Spirit the moment he believes. But, on the other hand, he is also admonished to walk by the Spirit as he lives out his earthly life under the lordship of Christ and in the power of the Spirit.

The Result of Freedom – Sanctification (8:4) As with salvation itself, walking by the Spirit comes first of all by God’s sovereign work in the believer’s heart, but it also involves the exercise of the believer’s will. Romans 8:4 is speaking of the first, whereas Galatians 5:25 (“let us … walk by the Spirit”) is speaking of the second. (Gal. 5:25) Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

The Result of Freedom – Sanctification (8:4) A genuine Christian will commune with his heavenly Father in prayer, but he also has the responsibility to pray. A Christian is taught by the Holy Spirit, but he is also obligated to seek the Spirit’s guidance and help. Commune vi. 1. to receive Communion 2. to communicate intimately

The Result of Freedom – Sanctification (8:4) The Holy Spirit will produce spiritual fruit in a believer’s life, but the believer is also admonished to bear fruit. Those truths are part of the amazing and seemingly paradoxical tension (역설적인 긴장상태) between God’s sovereignty and man’s will. If you admonish someone, you tell them very seriously that they have done something wrong. (강력히 충고하다; 꾸짖다)

The Result of Freedom – Sanctification (8:4) We know little of the relationship between God and Adam before the Fall, except that it was direct and intimate. The Lord had given but one command, a command that was given for Adam and Eve’s own good and that was easily obeyed. Until that one command was transgressed, they lived naturally in the perfect will of God. Doing His will was part of their very being. The believer’s relationship to God is much like that.

The Result of Freedom – Sanctification (8:4) Although Christians are drawn back to the old ways by the fleshly remnants(남은부분) of their life before salvation, their new being makes obedience to God the “natural” thing to do. The Christian’s obligations to God are not another form of legalism. The person who is genuinely saved has a new and divine nature that is, by definition, attuned(맞추다; 조율하다) to God’s will.

The Result of Freedom – Sanctification (8:4) When he lives by his new nature in the power of the Spirit, his desire is God’s desire, and no compulsion(강요) is involved. But because the believer is still clothed in the old self, he sometimes resists God’s will. It is only when he goes against God’s will and against his own new nature that the divine commands and standards seem burdensome. On the other hand, the faithful child of God who is obedient from the heart can always say with the psalmist, “O how I love Thy law!” (Ps. 119:97).

This Week’s Conversation A: I have learned the Mosaic Law cannot save men. Then, what is its purpose? B: God’s hold law can only set forth the standards of His righteousness and show men how utterly incapable they are in themselves of fulfilling those standards. A: Now I see. B: Jesus alone of all men who have ever lived or will ever live perfectly fulfilled the law of God.

Next Week’s Conversation A: Does every believer produce the fruit of the Spirit? B: Of course! Because every true believer is indwelt by the Spirit. A: What is the fruit of the Spirit? B: It is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control! (Gal. 5:22)
