Lip service 빈말 (이사야 29:13)

그림설명: Prayer
그림 저작권: V.

성경구절

“These people come near to me with their mouth and honour me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.” “주께서 가라사대 이 백성이 입으로는 나를 가까이하며 입술로는 나를 존경하나 그 마음은 내게서 멀리 떠났나니.”

빈말을 한다는 것은 말한대로 행동이 따르지 않는다는 의미입니다.

기원과 적용

구약시대에, 하나님께서는 실천없이 하나님의 이름을 존경하려는 자들을 보시며 슬퍼하셨습니다. 그 시대의 성직자들은 많은 성경지식이 있었고 믿는 자들을 위해 엄격한 규칙들을 고안했습니다. 그들은 사람들에게 서로서로 사랑하라고 얘기했지만, 자신들은 다른 사람들을 사랑하지 않았습니다. 하나님께서는 실망하시면서 선지자 이사야에게 말씀하십니다, “이 백성이 입으로는 나를 가까이하며 입술로는 나를 존경하나 그 마음은 내게서 멀리 떠났나니.”
