Pastor Park Young-sun is one of the best expository preachers in Korea, having founded Nampo Church in Gaepo-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and written dozens of books. He is a passionate preacher who has influenced young people and seminarians who have been passionate about biblical interpretation since the 1980s. Today’s sermon is a condensed message sermon that thinks about what time means to us and the meaning of the time God has given us through his excellent interpretation of the Book of Romans. Since it is a message proclaimed to the alumni pastors of Hapshin University, it may not be easy for the general congregation, but even if it is somewhat difficult to understand, I hope that you will watch it over and over again to discover ‘God’s amazing plan for us’ contained in the Word, and realize the meaning of living within that will. Related Verses NKR Romans 5:1 Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only so, we glory in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 and patience, character; and character, hope; 5 and hope doth not put us to shame, because God's love hath been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit which hath been given unto us; 6 For when we were yet without strength, at the proper time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet peradventure for a good man one would even dare to die; 8 But God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. NKR Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Who died for sin, that grace might abound? 2 Certainly not. How can we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we were buried with him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too should walk in life. NKR Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! For I would not have known sin except through the law; for I would not have known coveting if the law had not said, 'Do not covet.' 8 But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all manner of coveting; for without the law sin was dead. 9 For I was alive without the law once; but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. 10 And the commandment which was to bring life turned out to bring death to me, because sin, 12 So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good. 13 Did that which is good then become death to me? By no means! But sin, in order that it might be seen as sin, brought about my death through that which is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For what I do I do not know. For what I want I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law that it is good. 17 But it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. 18 I know that nothing good dwells in me (that is, in my flesh). For to want is present in me, but to do what is good is not found. 19 For the good that I want I do not do, but the evil that I do not want I do. 20 If I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. 21 So I find it to be a law, that when I want to do good, evil is present with me. 22 For I delight in the law of God, in my inmost being. 23 But I see in my members another law, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin that dwells in my members. 24 Oh, wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. NKR Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin. He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 so that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we ar
