Ukususela ekuqaleni kwendalo, UThixo wayefuna ukuba nolwalamano nomntu kwaye ahambe nomntu. UThixo wayethembekile emntwini. Nangona kunjalo, Umntu akathembekanga kuThixo waza wagqiba kwelokuba angamthobeli umyalelo wakhe aze ashiye indlela kaThixo. Kwaye ke umntu wangena ngenye indlela, ebebonakala ngathi yindlela ebhetele kunendlela kaThixo. Nangona kunjalo, Indoda ilahlekisiwe, wawa kwisikhundla sakhe, Kwaye ubuphoswe bubulungisa bakhe nakwinkohliso. Umntu woyika uYehova uThixo, wazifihla phambi kobuso bukaThixo. Kanye nje abantu abaninzi namhlanje boyika uThixo kwaye bazifihla kuThixo. Abanakuhlala ebusweni bakhe. UThixo uyazi ukuba baphi, Kanye njengokuba uThixo wayesazi ukuba wayephi na uAdam. Kwaye njengokuthixo obize uAdam wathi kuAdam Abuphi? U-Thixo ubiza umntu aze athi, Uphi? Kwaye ulinda de kufike umntu kwindawo yakhe yokuzifihla.
UAdam wahamba noThixo
Baliva izwi leNkosi uThixo, ehamba emyezweni epholileyo: Kwaye uAdam nomkakhe wazimela ebusweni beNkosi uThixo phakathi kwemithi yomyezo (IGenesis 3:8)
UAdam (indoda) Wahamba noThixo, ade akathobela uMdali wakhe, utata wakhe. UAdam waphulaphula ukudalwa kukaYise; ibhinqa, Ngubani owamamela inyoka.
Ngokumamela amagama enyoka kunye nokuthobela amazwi akhe, Ukufa kufakwe emntwini. Nje ngeziphumo, Umoya womntu wasweleka waza umntu wahlukaniswa noThixo kwaye waphulukana nolawulo lwakhe emhlabeni. Kwaye isono sakhokelela ekufeni, Kanye njengokuba uThixo wayexele kwangaphambili. (Funda kwakhona: Aniyi kufa na ukuba nihlala nisona?)
Umntu wayesele esikhundla sakhe kwaye waphangiswa bubulungisa bakhe.
Ngokungathobeli kwakhe, Umntu ebengasabeki ubulungisa kodwa abe yinqambi ngesono, ehamba ze.
Umntu wayengasakwazi ukusondela kuThixo ngenkalipho kwaye abe phambi kwakhe. Wazibuza phambi kobuso beNkosi uThixo,
Indoda yayingumoni. Kuba ububi bekukho kwimbewu yomntu, wonke umntu, owayeza kuzalwa embewini yomntu, Ungazalwa njengomoni kwaye ube nemo yesono, olawula enyameni, kwaye ithwale ukufa (Funda kwakhona: Ngaba uhlala uhlala enesono?)
Ukusuka ekuweni, Ukufa kwalawula ebomini boluntu, apho umntu wayekhokelwa kukufa kwaye wayeya kuthwala isiqhamo sokufa, esisisono.
Ekubeni ukulawulwa kukufa kwabakho ebomini bendoda kuya kubakho usuku ekufeni kwakhe kwaye babengena kubukumkani bakhe (ubukumkani bokufa (IHadesi).
UAdam, Uphi?
UThixo ukwazi okwenzekileyo kumyezo wase-Eden. Wayeyazi into eyenziwe nguAdam, Kodwa nangona kukho ulwazi, UThixo wabiza umntu wathi kuAdam, Uphi?
Ufanele avakalelwe njani uThixo xa wafika kwaye akamfumananga unyana wakhe? Umele ukuba wavakalelwa njani nguThixo xa wayefumanisa ukuba unyana wakhe wamshiya kunye nesenzo sakhe ngokungathobeli ngokungathi ulixoki kwaye wala uMenzi wakhe; Utata wakhe kwaye watshintshana ngomnye umntu?
Isono, awamlumkisile uThixo, ngaphandle kothando, wayehlukane nomntu ovela kuThixo kwaye waphule ubudlelwane phakathi komntu noThixo.
Kwaye ngale ndoda iwile kwaye kule ndawo iwile kunye nolwalamano olwaphukileyo noThixo, Indoda yayiza kuyizalisekisa imihla yakhe emhlabeni kwaye ibuyele emhlabeni; ubukumkani bokufa.
UAdam wavela kwindawo yakhe yokuzifihla
INkosi uThixo yabiza uAdam, Yathi kuye, Uphi? Watsho, Ndilivile ilizwi lakho emyezweni, kwaye bendisoyika, kuba bendihamba ze; kwaye ndazifihla. Watsho, Oxelele ukuba uhamba ze? Utyile umthi, apho ndakuwisela umthetho ngako ukuba ungadli? Yatsho le ndoda, Umfazi owanikelayo ukuba abe nam, Undinike lo mthi, kwaye ndatya. Kwaye iNkosi uThixo yathi kumfazi, Yintoni le uyenzileyo? Kwaye ibhinqa latsho, Inyoka yandithula, kwaye ndatya. UNdikhoyo ke watsho kwinyoka, Kuba uyenzile le nto, Uqalekisiwe ngaphezulu kwazo zonke iinkomo, Ngaphezulu kweenkomo zonke zentsimi; Uya kuya esiswini sakho, Udle uthuli yonke imihla yobomi bakho: Kwaye ndiza kubeka ubutshaba phakathi kwakho kunye nomfazi, phakathi kwembewu yakho kunye nembewu yakhe; Iya kutyuba intloko, Uya kuyityumza isithende sakhe (IGenesis 3:9-15 Funda iivesi 16-24)
Xa uAdam weva izwi loThixo embiza, Waphuma uAdam, wamxelela uNdikhoyo, Wayesoyika, Akuva izwi leNkosi uThixo, wasifihla.
Ngaba uThixo watshintsha ngelizwi okanye wenza into eyenze umntu obangela ukuba umntu ongcungcutheke kuThixo aze angabi nasibindi ukuba ahambe naye aze ahambe naye?
Hayi, UThixo wayengatshintshanga kwaye engakhange enze nto.
UThixo wayengenaxanduva lokutshintsha komntu wokuziphatha; Le ndoda yoyika uThixo, yazifihla kuThixo.
INkosi uThixo yayingenakukhathazeka ngokuwa komntu nelizwe elaphukileyo.
UThixo wayengazange abambe umntu ngobulungisa bakhe kunye nolawulo lwakhe.
Hayi yayingengabi nguThixo, yayiyindoda, ngubani otshintshileyo, Ngokukholelwa ubuxoki bukaMtyholi endaweni yenyaniso kaThixo.
Umntu wayenoxanduva kwaye engabi nguThixo
Yayiyindoda, owayenoxanduva lokuwa kwakhe, ilizwe lakhe elaphukileyo, Ukutshintsha kwakhe kokuziphatha, Ngokuthobela amazwi enyoka.
Yayiyindoda, owayenoxanduva lokwaphula ulwalamano notata wakhe kunye nokutshintsha kukatata ngokuqubuda kwinyoka.
Indoda yayiyinto enqabileyo yelizwe elaphukileyo, ubudlelwane ophukileyo, kunye notshintsho lokuziphatha, Kuba babukholwa bubuxoki boMtyholi ngaphezu kwenyaniso kaThixo kwaye ke wona uThixo (Funda kwakhona: Ukufihla kwi-Faist yobuxoki)
Leyo sisiphumo sesono kwaye kusesiphumo sesono kubomi babantu.
NguYesu uMsindisi, Umphilisi, kunye nokubuyisana koluntu
Ukususela ekuqaleni kwendalo, UThixo wayefuna ukuba nolwalamano nendoda. Leyo yayiyintando kaThixo kwaye isekukho ukuthanda kukaThixo. Kodwa nangona kuyintando kaThixo ukuba nobudlelwane nendoda, Akusoloko kuyintando kunye nomnqweno womntu ukuba nolwalamano noThixo.
Ngaphandle kothando loluntu, UThixo wanika unyana wakhe okuphela kwamzeleyo, Abahambe noYise ethobela ukuthanda kwakhe nemiyalelo yakhe, babeka abantu abaphukileyo, bangenela ukufa kwabafileyo kunye nokufa (Funda kwakhona: Wayethetha ukuthini uYesu ngezitshixo zoBukumkani bamazulu?)
UYesu, UNyana kunye neLizwi likaThixo eliphilayo ilingane nomntu kwaye wazisa uluntu lwasekhaya kumandla omnyama kwaye ubuyisele indalo yakhe, isikhundla, noxolo noThixo.
Yiyo loo nto uYesu enguMsindisi, Umphilisi, kwaye kwakhona kwakhona (iwile) uluntu.
UYesu yindlela yosindiso kubuntu onqabileyo. Uyindlela yoxolelaniso noBawo kunye nendlela yokubuyiselwa (ukuphilisa) yemeko eyaphukileyo yoluntu.
Ngegazi likaYesu, Indoda ihlanjululwe kuzo zonke izono kunye nobugwenxa.
Nangokholo, nokretshiswa kuKristu (Ukufa kwenyama kunye novuko loMoya ekufeni kwabafileyo) Umntu uthimbe uKrestu kwaye ube yindalo entsha, oxolelane noThixo kunye nobomi ngoxolo noThixo.
Ngaba le ndoda intsha ingumoni ngokweBhayibhile?
Ngokutsho kwebhayibhile, Indoda entsha ayisenguoni kwaye ayiphili bodwa kuThixo njengoTshaba lukaThixo kunye ne Umphakamisi wesono. Indoda entsha yenziwe ilungile, ubuyiselwe (ukuphiliswa), kwaye waxolelanisa notata nobomi ngobudlelane noBawo, Unyana, noMoya oyiNgcwele.
Indoda endala yoyika kwaye ifihle kuThixo. Kodwa indoda entsha ayizifihli kuThixo kwaye ayiphili boyika nokuthobeka kobuxoki phantsi kogwetyweni.
Indoda entsha ihlangulwe kuKristu kwaye yaxolelanisa noThixo kwaye ihamba noThixo nobomi ngokuthobela uThixo nakwilizwi lakhe kwintando yakhe. Indoda entsha iliNgqina likaYesu Kristu kwaye alisokuze lamkhanyele. (Funda kwakhona: Ngaba uyamvuma uYesu ngaphambi kwendoda okanye uyamkhanyela?).
Uphi?
Kodwa nangona usindiso loluntu, Maninzi amaKristu, abaseyindalo yakudala kwaye bahlala boyika kwaye besigweba kwaye baneentloni kwaye bazifihla kuThixo. Abanye babo abanakuba bubukho bakhe kwaye abanye abafuni kuhlala ebusweni bakhe.
Nangona besiya ecaweni kwaye bafunda zonke iintlobo zezinto ngoThixo uYise, UYESU khristu, noMoya oyiNgcwele, Abamazi ngokobuqu kwaye abahambe naye.
Abazifuni izinto ezingentla, apho uKrestu uhleli ngasekunene kukaBawo. Abachithi ixesha eLizwini kunye nomthandazo, Kodwa baxakeke kakhulu bubomi babo kwaye bachitha ixesha labo lonke kwizinto zeli lizwe.
Endaweni yokuvuselela iingqondo zabo ngamazwi kaThixo, bazalisa iingqondo zabo ngamazwi kunye nemvakalelo yehlabathi, efumana iMtyholi noBukumkani bakhe, Apho bahlala bahlukaniswe nehlabathi kwaye bagcina ingqondo yenyama kwaye bahambe emva kweenkanuko kunye neminqweno yenyama kwaye bavelisa iziqhamo ezinjengehlabathi.
Kwaye xa bevuna urhwaphilizo ngokuhamba kwabo kwaye banobungozi okanye izinto zingahambi ngokwesicwangciso okanye kuya kuthi, Bayamqumbela kuThixo, baqubude kuye uThixo, babize kuThixo, Uphi!
Ngelixa uThixo esenjalo kwaye akakaze ndawonye. UThixo usalinde abo, abafuna ukuhamba naye kwaye bahlale ebusweni bakhe. Ke ngoko uThixo uyaphendula, Uphi?
‘Yibani yityuwa yehlabathi’
