Title: People in Debt/Romans 1:14-17
content people in debt
Bible: Romans 1:14-17
Why should we evangelize in the text, with what attitude we should evangelize, and
The result of evangelism is something to discover.
If there is a reason Christianity exists on this earth, it is to spread the gospel to the ends of the earth.
In other words, if the church has the greatest mission and task, that
The thing is to evangelize.
In other words, a church that does not evangelize or a Christian who cannot evangelize
It can be said that they are those who disobey Jesus' last command.
We must think about the three teachings that this passage of time reveals.
do.
1. Why do we need to preach the Gospel?
1) Because you are in debt.
The Bible's teaching about debt is to avoid debt if you can.
If you owe a debt because you can't help it, you have to pay it back.
Debt is divided into three main categories.
The first is an economic debt for borrowing money, and the second is a debt of love established in human relationships.
And the third is the debt of the gospel that stems from our relationship with the Lord.
Paul said in Romans 13:8, “Do not bear anything but a debt of love” and Romans 1:14
Esau is called “the debtor to the gospel.” A debt is a debt of any nature.
that must be repaid.
In the world, underdeveloped and developing countries are all in debt.
For example, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, South Korea and North Korea.
C. In the case of Korea, the foreign debt is 44 billion dollars. Brazil has 108.2 billion dollars.
Bull and Mexico are said to be 99.8 billion dollars, and Argentina is said to be 51.2 billion dollars. In the case of North Korea,
There is even talk of a plan to seize property abroad because there is no ability to repay.
It's kind of floating around.
Paul referred to himself as "the debtor." And Greeks and Jews and barbarians
He said he owes people a debt.
It does not mean only Ram, but at that time, under the influence of Alexander, the whole world was the gate of Greece.
It refers to people all over the world who have been influenced by woes and ideas and who speak Greek.
And a savage cannot learn Greek properly, so he speaks a vulgar and vulgar language.
It means people who use it. But strictly speaking, developed and underdeveloped countries, advanced and
Religion and savagery are determined and governed by religion and belief.
is.
Who is the barbarian?
Trampling conscience, morality, and order, committing sins and doing evil, but it is a proud way of life
People who think they are savages are savages
Drinking blood and drinking liquor does not make you a cultural person.
If you trample your conscience and morals and live in sin, you are a savage.
The Greeks, the Jews, and the barbarians that Paul spoke of encompasses people all over the world.
Being indebted to them means that you have to share the gospel with them.
Bonar shared the first gospel with others on how to pay off this debt.
By praying for others, secondly by giving them what I have
said to do
The Korean church received the gospel free of charge through missionaries 100 years ago.
must share the gospel with other peoples. It is the same for individuals.
It is a branch. It is my responsibility to share the gospel I received with others.
is.
2) Because salvation is given only to those who believe.
Evangelism is preaching the gospel, and the gospel is that if you believe in Jesus, you live, and if you don't believe, you die.
In other words, preaching the truth that you must believe in Jesus to gain eternal life is evangelism.
So, if you do a lot of evangelism, more people will believe in Jesus and do not do evangelism.
Otherwise, many people will go to hell.
Some people say they believed in Jesus after reading a book called Heaven I Saw. And uh
Some people say that they saw Hell in a dream and were terrified and believed in Jesus.
If heaven is that good, then the person I came to believe because I wanted to believe, and hell is like that.
If it's a scary and desperate place, you should believe in Jesus and go to heaven as soon as possible.
It is the story of people who have been
It is not only individuals who are saved through faith in Jesus.
In Acts 16, a man who was a prison guard in the Philippi region received Jesus.
He also shared the gospel with his family members. In this way, he and his family were saved together.
History happened.
Paul said to the jailer, "Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."
He said. If you believe in Jesus, your family will be saved, your society will be saved, and your nation will be saved.
All.
The most orderly and stable countries and societies are those that believe in Jesus.
In order for the national spirit to be revived, we must evangelize with zeal and this nation must become Jesus Christ.
In this respect, what is more urgent than democratization is evangelization and jesusization.
As long as our people become Jesus, they will become the best people in the world.
Some say that there are 10 million Christians, what is the shape of the country?
The church asks what it does.
You are right. However, there are only 10 million members of the church, but those 10 million have not been converted to Jesus Christ.
It's because I couldn't do my best because I couldn't.
2. How should we evangelize?
1) We must do what we can, verse 15 says.
"As much as you can" means to do your best, with all your might.
It's not the best if a man with a branch gives up only five. 100 Kilograms
If someone who can lift a ram lifts only 20 kilograms, it's not doing it all.
is.
Paul used all the strength he had. So in his last years he told Timothy.
In the letter he sent, he said, "I ran all the way I was running, and the road left because I kept my faith.
It is to receive the crown of silver as a reward.”
Do you want to evangelize to your husband? Do it with all your might.
Do you want to save your parents? Do your best.
If you want to evangelize your friends, brothers, or neighbors, do your best.
If you pray and evangelize with all your might, you will surely lead the soul to the Lord.
All.
By entrusting 30 million people to 100 members of the Communist Party, they can freely act and brainwash the Communist
If you were asked to make a circle, how long would it take? maybe they
Whether it is with all your might and devoting your life to make 30 million members of the Communist Party in a short period of time.
They will either purge or kill them.
How much less, there were 10 million people who preached Jesus who is the gospel of life and salvation.
Why is Da Inara becoming so pathetic and difficult? one person three
If only people were responsible, wouldn't 40 million Koreans become members of the church and become Jesus Christ?
2) It says in verse 16 that we are not ashamed.
At that time, those who opposed Jesus referred to Jesus as "born as a carpenter's son and
He grew up in a poor family and was eventually crucified with robbers.
It was," he sarcastically.
Some church members saw a book on the market saying that Jesus was a Buddhist and said Jesus was a Buddhist.
He said it in a tone of surprise and shame that he was sleeping.
Stories that are not in the Bible, stories that have no historical basis, humble Jesus and destroy Christianity.
If Ryo accepts the story created and crafted by Satan's minions, then such people will be yes.
They will not be children of Sue, but children of Satan.
Paul wrote in his letter to Timothy, “If we deny the Lord, the Lord denies us.
will be given” (2 Timothy 2:12).
The Lord Himself said, “If you deny Me before men, I will also
will deny me.”
The Greeks knew they were Greek, the French knew they were French,
Tae people are proud of being Jewish.
But our case is a little different.
International students from all over the world gather and live in a dormitory at a university in the United States.
They say they call their parents this weekend.
It is said that the student is a Korean student. Everyone calls in their own language, but second-generation Koreans
I can't speak Korean, so I'm calling in English.
Of course, this is a special case, but if it is a problem, it is a problematic story.
Let us not be ashamed of numbers. Let us boast in Jesus.
3. What will happen if we evangelize?
Paul said in verse 17 of the text, “God’s righteousness is revealed in the gospel.”
When the gospel is preached, the unrighteousness there is expelled and the righteousness of God is revealed.
This means that sinners will repent and become righteous.
In other words, when Jesus enters, a new movement and work of righteousness will arise.
When Jesus comes into me, I turn over and become a new person. Jesus enters my home
When you enter, changes will take place in that family. When Jesus enters history, the game of history
Sorrow, despair, sorrow, and pain will disappear, and joy, hope, and life will disappear.
This will be full.
I had the opportunity to preach twice in the past week at the Workplace Shinwoohoe, a gathering of Christians.
There I was. I emphasized the responsibility of a Christian there.
When the members of the church become light and salt, emit fragrance, and become a letter from Jesus, I look at you.
people will be attracted to and believe in Jesus, but on the contrary, it will cause problems
If you don't build up your virtue, you will lose the place of evangelism and the name of Jesus will be cast out.
I did.
Isaiah Prophet Nah, said in Isaiah 60:1, “Arise, let the light shine.”
The time has come to rise up and shine the light of the gospel. The debt of the gospel that I have only received during that time.
The time has come to repay
Our church should take the lead in this work.
Even after living with a wall in between for 5 years, a member of the church next door has never been
He didn't say, "Let's believe in Jesus, let's go to church." He said he was sick and went out to sleep.
There are people who came out on foot and registered.
Now think of my neighbors, my family and relatives, my colleagues and friends. And they
Let's pray for them. And let's share the gospel with them.
If you believe, you live, if you don't believe, you die.
Let's pay off the debt of the gospel right away. Amen.
