2 Peter 3
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.
성경에서는 예수님이 다시 오심을 예언하고 있습니다. 그 날은 도둑처럼 갑자기 올 것입니다. 하늘이 큰 소리로 떠나가고 물질이 뜨거운 불에 풀어지고 땅과 그 중에 있는 모든 일이 드러나는 예수 재림의 모습은, 예수님이 처음 오셨을 때 마굿간에서 가장 낮은 모습으로 오신 것과는 사뭇 다릅니다.
The Bible prophesies the return of Jesus. That day will come suddenly like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. This depiction of Jesus' second coming is quite different from His first coming, when He arrived in the humblest form, born in a manger.
11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives
예수 재림의 날을 어떻게 준비해야 하는지 성경은 분명히 말해주고 있습니다. 우리는 거룩한 행실과 경건함으로 준비해야 합니다.
The Bible clearly tells us how to prepare for the day of Jesus' return. We must prepare with holy conduct and godliness.
12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat.
13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.
주 앞에서 점도 없고 흠도 없이 평강 가운데서 나타나기를 힘쓰라고 하신 명령을 구체적으로 어떻게 지킬 수 있을까요?
점도 없고 흠도 없이 그분 앞에서 평화롭게 발견되도록 이 세상 살 동안 모든 노력을 해야 합니다. 하나님이 기뻐하시는 생활은 역시 하나님을 더 잘 알기위해 말씀을 읽고, 하나님과 교제하기 위해 기도하는 생활이 기본이 되어야 합니다. 이 기본에 성령 충만한 생활을 하면서 성령의 열매를 맺어 나의 삶이 전도가 되어야 합니다. 더 나아가 내가 알게된 복음의 말씀을 전해야 하겠습니다.
How can we specifically follow the command to make every effort to be found spotless, blameless, and at peace before the Lord?
We must make every effort during our lives to be found spotless, blameless, and at peace before Him. Living a life that pleases God starts with reading His Word to know Him better and maintaining a prayer life to commune with Him. Building on this foundation, we should live a Spirit-filled life, bearing the fruits of the Spirit so that our lives become a testimony to others. Additionally, we should share the gospel message that we have come to know.
구체적으로 바로 실천할 수 있는 것은 다음 주부터 한 주 동안 있을 ANC Youth Forum에 적극 참여하는 것입니다. 이 시간에 우리는 성경을 읽고 서로 나누고, 동생들에게 복음을 어떻게 잘 전할 수 있는지를 연구할 것입니다.
Specifically, something you can immediately put into practice is actively participating in the ANC Youth Forum starting next week. During this time, we will read the Bible together, share with one another, and explore how to effectively share the gospel with younger peers.
15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him.
16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
17 Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position.
18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.
우리 주 곧 구주 예수 그리스도의 은혜와 그를 아는 지식에서 자라 가라고 하신 그 말씀에 순종하고 날마다 조금씩 주님의 은혜와 예수그리스도를 더 잘 알 수 있도록 노력하는 유스그룹이 되기를 축복합니다.
I bless you to be a youth group that obeys the command to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May you strive every day to know Jesus and His grace better.
