믿음에 의한 칭의: 율법 준수에 반대하는 바울의 주장

### 율법의 행위가 아닌 믿음으로 의롭다 함을 얻습니다: 갈라디아서 3:10-14
* 🔒 바울은 "율법책에 기록된 모든 것을 지켜 행하지 아니하는 자는 저주를 받을 것이라"(신명기 27:26)는 말씀처럼 **율법의 행위로 의롭다 함을 얻으려는 사람은 저주 아래** 있다고 강조합니다.
* 📖 사도는 하박국 2장 4절의 **"의인은 믿음으로 살리라"**는 말씀을 인용하며 율법으로는 아무도 하나님 앞에서 의롭게 될 수 없다고 주장합니다.
* ✝ 바울은 신명기 21장 23절 "나무에 매달린 자는 저주를 받은 자니라"를 언급하며 **그리스도께서 그들을 위해 저주가 되심**으로써 신자들을 율법의 저주에서 구속하셨다고 설명합니다.
* 🌟 그리스도의 구속 사역의 목적은 **"아브라함의 축복이 이방인에게 임하게 하려는 것"**으로, 모든 신자가 믿음으로 약속된 성령을 받을 수 있도록 하는 것입니다.
* 🔒 율법 아래 있기를 원하고 행위로 의롭다 함을 구하는 사람들은 **율법 전체를 완벽하게 지킬 의무**가 있기 때문에 실제로는 **저주 아래 있기를 선택**하고 있습니다.
* 🌿 바울은 **창세기 15장 6절과 같이 믿음에 대한 가르침**을 포함하는 넓은 의미의 율법과 **칭의를 위한 완전한 순종의 체계로서의 좁은 의미의 율법**을 구분합니다.
* 🤔 사도는 갈라디아 교인들에게 율법의 저주에서 벗어날 수 있는 방법을 생각해 보라고 도전하며 **다음 구절에서 믿음에 의한 칭의에 대한 설명의 무대**를 마련합니다.

믿음으로 의롭게 된 사람은 구원의 축복을 상속받는 반면, 행위로 의롭게 되려는 사람은 저주 아래 있습니다.

[Music] This is our first session on Galatians 3:10 to 14. For as many as are of works of the law are under a curse. Why? Because it is written in Deuteronomy 27:26, Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, so as to do them. Understood? Nobody does. Verse 11. Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, because Habakkuk 2:4 says, The righteous shall live by faith. Faith marks this righteousness and gains this life, but the law is not of faith. Rather, the one who does them shall live by them. Leviticus 18:5. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written, Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree. Deuteronomy 21:23. So that in Christ Jesus, the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith. Father as

we watch Paul wield the word of God from Deuteronomy and Habakkuk and Leviticus and Deuteronomy show us what he's accomplishing here in teaching us how not to be of works of the law or to seek to be justified by the law. Oh God, free us from this and grant us to walk instead by faith and thus prove to be righteous by faith and thus live. Pray this in Jesus' name. Amen. His first verse here shows that he's arguing for why it is those who are of faith who are blessed along with Abraham or those who are of faith who are the sons of Abraham. They are the ones who are justified. So only those who are justified by faith are the children of Abraham and inherit the blessing of salvation. Because, as many as choose the opposite, not faith but works, are under a curse. So he makes it as bleak as possible. It's not just that trying to work your way to heaven leaves you out, it puts you under.

a positive curse so to be of works here what is what is that here they are in chapter 4: 211. Tell me you who desire to be under the law, those are the people who are of Works. They want to make the basis of their standing with God law keeping. And here's the problem with that. He says over in chapter 5, I testify again to everyone who accepts circumcision, now that accept circumcision means choose to be a law keeper as a way of getting right with God. If you accept what the false teachers are saying, namely you must be circumcised, then you are obligated to keep the whole law. Same thing over in James, Whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it. The law. If you want to go with law keeping as a way of getting right with God, it's all or nothing. If you want to make performance righteousness, deed righteousness the ground of your acceptance with God, the Deeds must be

complete and perfect. And so, he argues here, the reason you're under a curse is because it is written, Cursed is everyone who does not abide in all things written in the law, the book of the law, so as to do them. And nobody does. Verse 11, now it is evident, plain, you should have seen it, though you're bewitched and have become blind to plain things. Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law. If you want a way out of this curse, it is not going to be by reestablishing law-keeping. I mean, if you've already dug yourself a hole and a thousand times you have fallen short of the law in your life and now you're going to try to make it to Heaven, this is not the way you can make it. Both Bible and experience have taught us this. Why can't efforts to keep the law save us? Because Habakkuk 2:4 says, The righteous shall live by faith. Now there's a lot of argument about whether in the original context that's

faithfulness and that's live your life on Earth. I think Paul would see that and say I am pushing through those possibilities and realizing that the only faithfulness that counts with God is the kind that has faith in God's promises at the bottom of it. And the only kind of righteousness that God will accept is a righteousness that is through such faith. And if such faith has brought a person into the experience of such uh right standing with God, then that person will live and not just live a life on Earth, but will live in that righteousness forever. I think Paul would simply say I'm pushing down into the essential meaning of those three words, and what I see there is righteousness must be a righteousness through faith, and that will produce justification, and with justification eternal life. That's the argument, and the negative half of the argument is but law, lawke keeping those who are of works of the law, those people are not of Faith. The law is not of Faith, which means it

comes under the ban of habc 2:4. They're not going to live because the law is not of Faith. Now I know that we have said several times, for example in 2:19, that it is the law itself that taught that you can't be saved by law keeping, that's true. So Paul is beginning to make some distinctions here when he uses the word law here. He doesn't mean that Genesis 15:6, which is in the law in the larger sense, doesn't teach Faith. Genesis 15:6 says that Abraham believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness. Genesis 15:6 is of Faith. So when he uses the word law here, he's clearly thinking in terms of the law in its narrower sense of demanding obedience, perfect obedience. And if you want to put the footing of your life on that narrow conception of The Commandments of the law and perform them in order to get right with God, then you can't do it. It's not a faith. And if you don't

have faith. You're not going to live. You won't enjoy this righteousness. Rather, the alternative to this statement is Leviticus. The one who does them shall live by them. The law in its larger sense clearly provides pointers to justification by faith. That's the way Paul's been arguing in this letter so far. Abraham is described in the law, that is, in the first five books of Moses, but he's going to talk in just a few verses about the law came in 430 years later than the promise made to Abraham. And so he's using law in at least these two senses: law in its larger sense of how the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible, taught, and law in the narrower sense of the commandments that if you choose to live by them will only bring a curse. So we're left with the question: having made clear here that there is no way out of this curse by law-keeping, how did we get out? And that's what this text is about next. [Music]

갈라디아서 3:10-14에 나오는 율법보다 믿음의 중요성

바울은 의롭다함을 얻기 위해 율법에 의존하는 것의 저주를 강조하며 의를 위한 믿음의 중요성을 강조합니다.

구약 성경 구절을 언급하며 그리스도의 구속이 어떻게 이방인들에게 믿음을 통해 아브라함의 축복을 가져다주었는지 설명합니다.

바울은 오직 믿음으로만 의롭게 되고 약속된 성령을 받을 수 있다고 주장하며, 구원을 얻기 위해 행위에 의존하는 저주를 대조적으로 설명합니다.

구원을 위한 율법 준수의 무익함

율법 전체를 완벽하게 지켜야 하기 때문에 율법 준수를 통해 하나님께 인정을 받으려는 시도는 헛된 일입니다.

율법을 지키지 않으면 저주를 받기 때문에 행위로 의를 얻는 것은 불가능합니다.

하나님 앞에서 의롭게 되는 유일한 길은 율법을 지키려고 노력하는 것이 아니라 믿음으로만 가능하기 때문에 율법 준수의 무익함은 분명합니다.

믿음과 의에 대한 바울의 견해 해석하기

바울은 의와 영생에 대한 하나님의 약속을 믿는 믿음의 중요성을 강조합니다.

그는 율법의 행위가 아니라 믿음이 칭의와 영원히 의롭게 사는 열쇠라고 주장합니다.

바울은 믿음을 포함하는 넓은 의미의 율법과 완전한 순종을 요구하는 데 초점을 맞춘 좁은 의미의 율법을 구분하며, 후자는 사람을 하나님과 올바른 관계에 놓이게 할 수 없다고 말합니다.

성경에서 율법은 모세오경의 첫 다섯 권에 나오는 가르침이라는 넓은 의미와 지키지 않으면 저주를 받는 계명이라는 좁은 의미로 볼 수 있습니다.

본문에서 바울은 아브라함을 예로 들어 믿음에 의한 칭의를 강조합니다.

이 구절은 율법을 지킴으로써 저주에서 벗어날 수 없다는 것과 칭의를 위한 믿음의 대안을 탐구합니다.
