Ha u tsoaloa hape ho Kreste, o etselitsoe ba lokileng. Bebele e re, Molimo o ne a entse Jesu, ba neng ba sa tsebe sebe, ho ba sebe bakeng sa rona, ba neng ba sa tsebe sebe, so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him (2 Korinthe 5:20-21). Ha o sa le mora wa diabolosi, moetsalibe, empa o fetohile mora wa Modimo, mohalaledi. You have received a new nature; God’s nature and therefore you shall no longer walk in sin and iniquity, because the righteous walks in righteousness. What does it mean to walk in righteousness?
Ya lokileng o tsamaya ka ho loka
Joale, little children, Lula ho eena; hore, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. Haeba le tseba hore O lokile, you know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of Him (1 Johanne 2:28-29)
A O hlahetse - Reena is born of God and has become a son of God (sena se sebetsa ho banna le basali).
Ha u tsoaloa hape, you are no longer a slave of the devil and a slave of unrighteousness, but you have become a slave of Jesus Christ and shall walk in righteousness and abstain from sin and iniquity.
(please note: you have not been made righteous by your works, but by Jesus Christ, by His work; Boitelo ba hae le Mali a Hae. But when you become born again in the spirit, you should be doing the works of righteousness).
If you are made righteous, you shall walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh. Ha o tsamaya ka Moya, you walk in the law of the Spirit.
The righteous people have only one mission and that is to please Jesus Christ, and to please God the Father, and abstain from everything that is evil and displeases Him.
Haeba ua nthata, boloka litaelo tsa ka
Jesu o boletse: “Haeba ua nthata, boloka litaelo tsa ka” (Johanne 14:15). When you obey Jesus and walk in His commandments, you show Jesus that you love Him. You will listen to Jesus and obey Him and walk in His Word (His commandments and will). When you walk in His Word, you shall abide in Him continuously. Not just for 2 kapa 3 hours a week, empa 24 lihora ka letsatsi, 7 days a week.
You shall stay on His path (Tsela ea hae) and stay obedient to Him.
You shall not turn aside to the left or to the right Even if you are accused or persecuted, or rejected, or things don’t go the way as expected or planned. No matter what, o tla dula ho Yena, mme o boloke ditaelo tsa Hae, if you really love Jesus.
Only when you stay in Him, you shall walk in His ways and please Him.
By keeping His commandments (Lentswe la Modimo), you show Jesus, that you really love Him.
Ha u, as the righteous walk in righteousness, which means that you walk according to what the Word says and live after the will of God, you not only show Him that you love Him, but you also show everyone else, that you are born of God and that you are His son and that you love God above all.
