하나님 나라의 가장 위대한 능력의 표현

하나님 나라의 가장 위대한 능력의 표현

하나님의 나라는 외부적 과시를 수반하여 임하지 않는다.  

그것은 하나님의 말씀의 부드러운 영감을 통하여, 성령의  내적 역사(內的役事), 

곧 생명되시는 분과의 영혼의  교통을 통하여 오게 된다. 

하나님 나라의 가장 위대한  능력의 표현은 그리스도의 품성의 완전함에 도달한 인간의  성품 속에 보여진다.

그리스도를 따르는 사람들은 세상의 빛이 되어야 한다. 

그러나 하나님께서는 그들에게 빛을 비추기 위한 노력을 하라고 명령하지 않으신다. 

그분께서는 훌륭한 선(善)을  자랑하기 위하여 자기 만족에 도취된 어떤 노력을 하는 것을 

좋아하지 않으신다. 

그분께서는 그들의 심령이 하늘  나라의 원칙에 잠겨지기를 원하신다. 

그렇게 되면 그들은 세상과 접촉할 때, 그들 속에 있는 빛을 드러내게  될 것이다. 

생애의 모든 면에 나타나는 그들의 확고한  성실성은 빛을 비추는 수단이 될 것이다. 

– 치료봉사, 36.

 

 

The Greatest Manifestation of the Power of Kingdom of God

The kingdom of God comes not with outward show. It comes through the gentleness of the inspiration of His word, through the inward working of His Spirit, the fellowship of the soul with Him who is its life. 

The greatest manifestation of its power is seen in human nature brought to the perfection of the character of Christ.

The followers of Christ are to be the light of the world; but God does not bid them make an effort to shine. He does not approve of any self-satisfied endeavor to display superior goodness. 

He desires that their souls shall be imbued with the principles of heaven; then, as they come in contact with the world, they will reveal the light that is in them. Their steadfast fidelity in every act of life will be a means of illumination. 

– Ministry of Healing, 36.
