2일: 새사람과 신부를 위한 기도

엡 1:9–10, 23, 4:13, 16, 5:27, 계19:7

하나님의 크신 기쁨이 이뤄지고, 그분의 목적이 성취되고, 그분의 경륜이 수행됨으로서 (엡 1:9-10) 그분을 표현하는 그리스도의 건축된 몸이자 온전히 자란 새사람인 교회를 얻으시고 (엡 1:23, 4:13, 16), 사랑 안에서 그분을 만족하게 하는 그리스도의 예비된 신부인 교회를 얻으시도록 기도합시다 (엡 5:27, 계 19:7).

Eph. 1:9-10—Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself, unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him.

Eph. 1:23—Which is His Body, the fullness of the One who fills all in all.

Eph. 4:13—Until we all arrive at the oneness of the faith and of the full knowledge of the Son of God, at a full-grown man, at the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

Eph. 4:16—Out from whom all the Body, being joined together and being knit together through every joint of the rich supply and through the operation in the measure of each one part, causes the growth of the Body unto the building up of itself in love.

Eph. 5:27—That He might present the church to Himself glorious, not having spot or wrinkle or any such things, but that she would be holy and without blemish.

Rev. 19:7—Let us rejoice and exult, and let us give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.
