Title (Ⅰ) The Lord is my Shepherd...(Psalm 1:1~6)
Contents
① “Jehovah” is the name of God’s work of salvation, and ② it means that he is the source of blessings and is the counterpart of the covenant he made with those who received grace. ③ It means God who is the source of the blessings of the new contract, the God who gives blessings according to the contract. ④ “Shepherd” means the person who is responsible for the security, nurture, refinement, perfection and eternal life of the sheep.
“He is my shepherd by covenant”
“I am his sheep only by contract”
① In order to make me whole like Christ, when he chose me in Christ before the foundation of the world, a covenant of responsibility for salvation was signed (Ephesians 1:3-14) ② Therefore, I was sent as a covenant with God and a shepherd, and this covenant (Romans 8:30) ③ Therefore, the elect and the elect have different responsibilities and duties toward God, all human beings, and all things, and have different goals, laws, principles, means, places, and places in their lives. Food and pursuit are different. ④ God's interest, intervention, treatment, and treatment of God the Shepherd are different. ⑤ Therefore, believers must immediately recognize and remember this fact and live only as his sheep, following the guidance of the shepherd in the covenant.
“God Is Individually Shepherd”
“Only God is my shepherd”
① There are countless things in the world that claim to be a shepherd, to become a shepherd, and to claim to be a shepherd. ② Shakyamuni, Confucius, philosopher, political economist... Though ideology and ideology claim to be shepherds, all but God are thieves and robbers (John 10:1-16) ③ Therefore, from “Jesus,” that is, the door of the sheepfold. The redemptive blood, truth, and things that are not through the Holy Spirit, that do not come through Jesus, have no salvation and are robbers that destroy everything (Acts 4:12) ④ Only the Lord, the true shepherd, is the only true life, food, security, wealth, power, honor and glory. ⑤ Therefore, even if the meat that leaves the water and the plants that leave the soil live, the sheep that leave the shepherd cannot survive. ⑥ If you listen to only the voice of the shepherd and obey only the guidance, you will be completely happy as if you met the water and the green soil.
“Teaching the difference between God and me”
① The shepherd is a man and the sheep is an animal, but the difference between God who is the shepherd and me is too great to be calculated by human intelligence. ② Therefore, how foolish it is to disobey the shepherd’s guidance as foolishness and to be self-righteous. Conversely, how wise and happy to live by only following the guidance of one’s wife and the shepherd (1 Corinthians 1:18) ③ If you just live according to the Almighty Shepherd, you will lose your life in this life. In order to become such a person forever, in order to become such a person, he made the sheep live among wolves so that they would never leave the shepherd for even a moment. He made the power, family, and possessions disappear (1 Corinthians 1:26-31). This is the love of a shepherd.
“I teach that the power of God is my power”
① Just as “sheep” are incompetent, without strength, horns, or agility, the chosen saints are foolish, weak, and despised and incompetent in the world, but because Almighty God is the shepherd, the power of God’s wisdom and knowledge is my It becomes the power of knowledge of wisdom. ② Therefore, the power of knowledge of wisdom and knowledge of God that puts the strong in the world to shame is accompanied by giving thanks without complaining or resentment because it is the love of God to put on the power of the knowledge of wisdom.
