우리는 스스로도 모르는 사이에 누군가의 의인됨을 평가하게 된다. 그러나 하나님 앞에서 우리는 모두가 다 똑같은 죄인이다. 하나님 앞에서 의인은 없다. 죄가 많아도, 지은 죄가 적어도 결국 똑같이 죄인이다. 우리는 또 율법을 구원의 수단으로 착각하는 경우가 많은데, 이 또한 바르지 않다. 하나님께서는 율법을 구원의 수단이 아닌 평가의 수단으로 주신 것이다. 우리의 본성을 드러내기 위하여 주신 것이다. 그리스도를 따르는 우리는 이러한 의와 죄의 문제에 관하여, 율법에 대하여 올바로 알아야 한다.
죄의 문제를, 죄인으로서의 우리의 존재에 대한 문제를 무디 특유의 쉬우면서도 설득력 있는 비유와 예화를 통해서 알 수 있는 책이다. 학식이 높지는 않았지만 풍부한 경험을 바탕으로 많은 사람들에게 다가가는 설교를 전했던 무디는 이 책에서도 쉽고 간결하지만 영적인 힘이 있는 이야기를 들려주고 있다. 어렵고 복잡해 보이는 문제들은 사실 단순하고 명확한 진리에 의해서 간단히 해결될 때가 많다. 우리는 이 책을 통해서도 죄에 대한 우리의 복잡한 생각들을 진리에 비춰서 이전보다 명확하고 바르게 이해할 수 있게 된다.

D.L. Moody (1837 - 1899)
Was an American evangelist and publisher who founded the Moody Church in downtown Chicago. Preached to thousands in evangelistic meetings and had touches of revival in scotland and other countries. Ira Sankey was his worship leader who was used of the Lord in the meetings. Moody wrote many books including "Prevailing Prayer" and "The Way To God."Moody once said: "If this world is going to be reached, I am convinced that it must be done by men and women of average talent." And thus was born his ministry of book publishing, bible college and many other outreaches to equip the average layperson to be a soul winner and do great exploits for the Lord.
D. L. Moody was an American evangelist who founded the Northfield Schools in Massachusetts, Moody Church and Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, and the Colportage Association.
As a young man, he spent his evenings in missionary work among the lowly and destitute of the city. This work grew to such proportions that he was induced to give up his profitable business engagements and to devote all his time to religious work in connection with the local Young Men's Christian Association of which he became president. He soon became known as one of the most acceptable public speakers of the country, and was in constant demand at Christian conventions throughout the West and South.
Mr. Moody is supposed to have spoken to more people, and addressed larger audiences than any man of his generation. D. L. Moody was undoubtedly one of the greatest evangelists of all time. The meetings held by Moody and Sankey were among the greatest the world has ever known. They were the means under God of arousing the church to new life and activity, and were the means of sweeping tens of thousands of persons into the kingdom of God.
D. L. Moody may well have been the greatest evangelist of all time. In a 40-year period he won a million souls, founded three Christian schools, launched a great Christian publishing business, established a world-renowned Christian conference center, and inspired literally thousands of preachers to win souls and conduct revivals.
A shoe clerk at 17, his ambition was to make $100,000. Converted at 18, he uncovered hidden gospel gold in the hearts of millions for the next half-century. He preached to 20,000 a day in Brooklyn and admitted only non-church members by ticket!
He met a young songleader in Indianapolis, said bluntly, "You're the man I've been looking for for eight years. Throw up your job and come with me." Ira D. Sankey did just that; thereafter it was "Moody will preach; Sankey will sing."
He traveled across the American continent and through Great Britain in some of the greatest and most successful evangelistic meetings communities have ever known. His tour of the world with Sankey was considered the greatest evangelistic enterprise of the century.
It was Henry Varley who said, "It remains to be seen what God will do with a man who gives himself up wholly to Him." And Moody endeavored to be, under God, that man; and the world did marvel to see how wonderfully God used him.
Two great monuments stand in the indefatigable work and ministry of this gospel warrior - Moody Bible Institute and the famous Moody Church in Chicago.
Moody went to be with the Lord in 1899.
