사도 바울은 왜 복음을 전해야 했나요? 

그 목적이 로마서 1장 5절에 다음과 같이 나옵니다. 

 

그로 말미암아 우리가 은혜와 사도의 직분을 받아 그의 이름을 위하여 모든 이방인 중에서 믿어 순종하게 하나니

로마서 1장 5절

Through him and for his name's sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.

 

The purpose of sharing this good news

(that Jesus is the Savior and that He died on the cross to save us), 

is so that

believers would obey the gospel...

the gospel of the cross of Jesus Christ. 

Here we get a knowledge of

what a life of believing in Jesus

should look like. 

"Believing, Jesus is my Savior" means 

living a life of

obedience to the Gospel.

 

This Gospel is to call people

to obedience of

faith in Jesus Christ.

 

Obedience of faith is

surrendering to the Gospel, 

surrendering to the truth of Christ. 

 

It is obeying the Gospel...

and it's turning away from obeying this world, 

turning away from the pattern of this world, 

turning away the lives of this world... 

 

And instead...

it's turning to the Gospel,

the Gospel of the cross of Jesus Christ. 

 

And it's becoming obedient to faith in the Gospel. 

 

It's like Galatians 5:24. 

It says... 
Those who belong to Christ Jesus 

have crucified the sinful nature 

with its passions 

and desires.

 

Disobedience to the faith is like to say....

"No I'm gonna do this, own my way."

"I don't need God.

I need more money, or more people, or other gods."

"I can just do it my own way..."

 

However,

Obedience to the faith is

turning from my own way. 

 

It's turning to Christ,

like...

"I surrender to You, Lord."

"I believe the Gospel."

"Jesus is my savior Christ."

"He is my Lord."

"He has rescued me

from the dominion of darkness

and brought me into the Kingdom of the Son, He loves,

in whom

we have redemption,

the forgiveness of sins"

(As it says in Colossians 1:13 and 14). 

 

"Im gonna pray every day."

"Im gonna read the Bible every day."

and "Im gonna become a follower of Christ..."

 

like Jesus commanded,

"If anyone would come after me,

he must deny himself

and take up his cross daily

and follow me"

(Luke 9:23). 

 

This is what Paul was called to do for Christian life. 

Christian life is all about to obey the Gospel. 

 

The whole world is in rebellion against God.

They're doing it their own ways.

Most of mankind has rejected God,

when the most normal and natural thing

should be to believe in God.

It should be to have faith in Him.

 

But people,

because of their sinfulness,

of their rebellion,

they are rejecting God,

and they're going their own way.

 

Unless, people repent and turn to God,

they're gonna face the wrath of God on judgment day

(as the scriptures are very clear about it)

(as you're going to see from the Bible).

 

Paul is compelled with love

to go and reach mankind

to literally give his life

to reach men and women with the Gospel.

 

Because he knows that

if people die without Christ,

they're going to spend eternity in hell.

 

This is the truth

that is revealed in scripture

and Paul understood it.

He knew it.

 

Paul was willing to give his life.

He was willing to suffer through incredible hardships

as he did

in order to reach the world

with the Gospel.

 

Paul wasn't a selfish man.

He could have just lived a selfish life for himself gotten comfortable made lots of money

but instead he gave his life to reach as many people as he could with the Gospel of Jesus Christ

because he understood that

without Christ people are lost

for all eternity.

 

People are under a deception

thinking that they are fun

and that they are okay without God...

 

But actually that is a lie.

 

Everyone needs Christ.

Everyone is lost without Christ.

And every single person needs to turn to God,

and believe the Gospel,

and come into the grace of God,

and receive the righteousness of God...

 

And this can only come through having faith in Jesus. 

 

Paul understood this

very clearly.

He was compelled by love

to preach this Gospel

all over the world. 

 

Let's read the verse together and pray. 

Through him and for his name's sake, 

we received grace 

and apostleship 

to call people from among all the Gentiles 

to the obedience 

that comes from faith.

 

--pray-- 

Lord. 
We praise you for saving us in Jesus Christ. 
Now, according to your Word, I want to live a life of obedience to the gospel. 
Lord, don't let me go my own way. 
Instead, help me to follow your way, to live in obedience to the gospel. 

Oh Lord, let me have faith in Jesus, and obey Him. 
Help me to deny myself, take up my cross, and become a follower of Jesus. 

pray in Jesus' name. 
Amen.
