AC.440, 창4:26, '셋도 아들을 낳고 그의 이름을' (AC.438-442)

26절, 셋도 아들을 낳고 그의 이름을 에노스라 하였으며 그때에 사람들이 비로소 여호와의 이름을 불렀더라 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enosh: then began they to call upon the name of Jehovah.

That by the words just quoted is signified the worship of that church from charity is evident from the fact that to “call upon the name of Jehovah” is a customary and general form of speech for all worship of the Lord; and that this worship was from charity is evident from the fact that “Jehovah” is here mentioned, whereas in the preceding verse he was called “God,” as well as from the fact that the Lord cannot be worshiped except from charity, since true worship cannot proceed from faith that is not of charity, because it is merely of the lips, and not of the heart. That to “call on the name of Jehovah” is a customary form of speech for all worship of the Lord, appears from the Word; thus it is said of Abraham, that

 

거기서 벧엘 동쪽 산으로 옮겨 장막을 치니 서쪽은 벧엘이요 동쪽은 아이라 그가 그곳에서 여호와께 제단을 쌓고 여호와의 이름을 부르더니 (창12:8), 그가 처음으로 제단을 쌓은 곳이라 그가 거기서 여호와의 이름을 불렀더라 (창13:4) “he built an altar to Jehovah, and called on the name of Jehovah” (Gen. 12:8; 13:4)

 

and again, that

 

아브라함은 브엘세바에 에셀 나무를 심고 거기서 영원하신 여호와의 이름을 불렀으며 (창21:33) he “planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of Jehovah, the God of eternity” (Gen. 21:33).

 

That this expression includes all worship, is plain from Isaiah:

 

22그러나 야곱아 너는 나를 부르지 아니하였고 이스라엘아 너는 나를 괴롭게 여겼으며 23네 번제의 양을 내게로 가져오지 아니하였고 네 제물로 나를 공경하지 아니하였느니라 나는 제물로 말미암아 너를 수고롭게 하지 아니하였고 유향으로 말미암아 너를 괴롭게 하지 아니하였거늘 (사43:22-23) Jehovah the holy one of Israel hath said, thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob, but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel. Thou hast not brought to me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings, neither hast thou honored me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense, (Isa. 43:22–23)

 

in which text a summary is given of all representative worship.
