출애굽기에 나타난 복음과 율법 = (A) study on the Gospel and law in Exodus

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The gospel and rules are themes that debate the correlation of the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament is recognized as rules, and the New Testament is recognized as the gospel. However, 'the gospel' and 'rules' do not have a conflicting relationship. Rules were already a presupposition inside the gospel, and the gospel was included in rules, making the relationship mutually complementary. Therefore, it is important and significant to properly settle the relationship between the gospel and rules that appear in the Book of Exodus.
The Book of Exodus includes both gospel and rule themes. This study aims to reveal through footnotes that the gospel and rules are closely linked to one another in the Book of Exodus. It also aims to sweep away misconceptions of rulists and those for the abolition of rules, and aid in a shift of awareness to a more biblical Christian life where Christian communities today believe, as people of God, that "rules are the gospel."
There is no other case that had as decisive an effect on the Israeli worshipping community as Exodus. And the promise on Mount Sinai in Exodus is the most important part in understanding the Old Testament. The promise in the Book of Exodus maintains unity between God and the people of Israel. Therefore, the method of this study aims to reveal the gospel and rules from the perspective of Exodus and the promise. Also, the footnotes method used were the canonical approach that accepts the text of the final bible form, together with the Min Jung theological bible interpretation method, which views faith and action as one, and the study aimed to find the close connection between the gospel and rules in the Book of Exodus.
First, the study examined gospel themes such as the flourish of Israel and the birth of Moses (1:1-6:30), the Exodus (7:14-13:22), the Red Sea incident and life in the wilderness (14:1-18:27), the promise at Mount Sinai (19:1-24:18), and the promised land (33:1-3). Moses' birth is an extraordinary skill of God and a gift of blessing, in that he survived a situation where he could not help but die, and he was taken to a safe place without any threat of death. Also, God's blessing of educating and training Moses so he could be ready to become a leader of a nation was the start of the gospel for Moses and the people of Israel. The Exodus is an incident that clearly shows the blessing of God. It is a symbol of salvation and is an act of blessing by God, and this act is all blessings led by God, and thus, the gospel. Life in the wilderness did start from the mistrust of Israel, but it was a field that learned to obey and experience blessings. Therefore, that time too was a journey of blessing, and a case of gospel character. The promise on Mount Sinai was a blessing that allowed the people of Israel to become people of God, through His blessing, and it was a gift that led them to the road of the gospel. From this perspective, the promise on Mount Sinai is not just rules that should be abided, but the gospel of life. The promised land (Canaan) is a gift through God's unconditional blessings. It is an incident of the gospel where God's promise to Israel is held through. Themes of the gospel explain god's actions of Salvation and pursue Christ like this, in the Book of Exodus. Therefore, theology of the Book of Exodus is theology of the gospel.
Next, a study of the themes of rules in the Book of Exodus shows that rules God gave to Israel are not rules that pressure and tie up Israel, but they are contents of the gospel to make people children of God and lead tehm towards the road to eternal life.
First, the rule to Passover rule is requiring Israel's obedience right before the Exodus. Thus, the Passover rule is a gospel incident that shows if we are in the word of God, we can receive eternal life even after death, through the blessing of God. The ten commandments are not a big burden repressing the people of Israel, but a method of the gospel (blessing/salvation) or rules as a method. The ten commandments, which were given to Israelis at Mount Sinai, is a gospel incident that makes them chosen people of God through his blessing, and is a method of teaching the people how to live as people who are loved by God, forever. The covenant is evidence of an agreement between God and Israel. It is a guide to the people of Israel on how to live life loving God, and it contains contents of gospel methods on how to live forever as people of God. The tabernacle construction was a place of the gospel, where God met with Israel, so they could live life in the gospel for eternity in the wilderness and in the promised blessed land of Canaan.
As seen above, the gospel and rules in the Book of Exodus are not conflicting but in unity. The Book of Exodus shows a continuous and intentional balance between God's blessing and Israel's responsibility of contract. The gospel and rules in the Book of Exodus are combined with and a part of the gospel and rules in the bible. Therefore, the gospel is actual contents of rules, and rules are the structural form of the gospel. Thus, the gospel is contents and rules are form (method).
Therefore, the gospel of the New Testament should not be viewed as a substitution of the rules of the Old Testament, but as having a mutually complementary relationship with the Old Testament. Therefore, rules are definitely needed in lives of faith of people today, and abiding by these rules is the way for faith to grow properly and remain in the continuous blessings of God. Therefore, the debate on the gospel and rules, on faith and actions should not carry on any longer.
