Ngaphakathi 1 UPetros 3:21, sifunda ukuba ubhaptizo yimpendulo yesazela esilungileyo kuThixo, ngokuvuka kukaYesu Kristu. Ithetha ntoni le nto? Kutheni ubhaptizo luyimpendulo yokuba nesazela esilungileyo kuThixo?
Amanzi ahlula ilungisa kwabangemalungisa
Ngeentsuku zikaNowa, amanzi aba ngokwahlukana kwabangemalungisa (ngokungahloneli Thixo, abangakholwayo, abeeNtlanga) namalungisa (Amakholwa, abangcwele). Amalungisa amoyika uThixo; (ukuba noloyiko olukhulu) kwaye bamthanda uThixo kwaye ke ngoko bakholelwa kuThixo kwaye bethobela amazwi nemiyalelo Yakhe. Nangona kunjalo, abangemalungisa babengamoyiki kwaye bamthande uThixo kwaye ngenxa yoko babengawakholelwa amazwi nemithetho yakhe kodwa bayigatya..
Kuba noKristu wabuva kwakanye ubunzima ngenxa yezono;, olilungisa ngenxa yabangemalungisa, ukuze asisondeze kuThixo, ukubulawa enyameni, udliswe ubomi ngoMoya: awathi kanjalo wahamba, washumayela koomoya abasentolongweni; Leliphi iliphi ixesha elalingathobeliyo, xa ukuzeka kade umsindo kukaThixo kwakulindile ngemihla kaNowa, ngoxa umkhombe wawulungiselela, apho bambalwa, yiyo i, Imiphefumlo esibhozo yagcinwa ngamanzi (1 UPetros 3:18-20)
Abantu emhlabeni abazange bamamkele uThixo ngoko anguye yaye babengafuni ukumphulaphula, singawathobeli amazwi akhe. Banekratshi, bahamba ngendlela yabo, benza ububi.
Ngenxa yokungamthobeli kwabo uThixo, yimiphefumlo esibhozo kuphela eyasindiswayo ekugwetyweni.
Le miphefumlo isibhozo yayinguNowa, umfazi wakhe, oonyana abathathu, kunye nomolokazana.
UNowa wayeyindoda nje, egqibeleleyo kwizizukulwana zakhe, ohambe noThixo.
UNowa akazange athembele koko wakubonayo kwaye akazange athembele kwingqiqo yakhe kunye namazwi abantu, ababekhohlakele, kodwa uNowa wayithemba iNkosi waza ke ngoko uNowa wawakholelwa amazwi kaThixo kwaye wayithobela imiyalelo Yakhe, awathi uNowa wahamba ngokholo.
UThixo wamxelela uNowa, ukuba azise unogumbe wamanzi ehlabathini ukuze atshabalalise yonke inyama, apho kukho umoya wobomi. Nangona kunjalo, UThixo wenza umnqophiso wakhe noNowa waza wamsindisa yena nosapho lwakhe nezilwanyana emkhombeni, ekwakufuneka azakhe uNowa, ngokuba uNowa uThixo wambalela elungisa.
Ukholo lukaNowa kuThixo nokuthobela amazwi akhe kwasindisa yena nentsapho yakhe
UNowa wamkholelwa uThixo nelizwi lakhe kwaye wathobela amazwi nemiyalelo kaThixo. Ngenxa yokholo lwakhe kuThixo nokuthobela uThixo, UNowa wakha umkhombe.
Xa umkhombe wagqitywayo kwaza kwafika ixesha lokuba imithombo yamanzi anzongonzongo agqabhuke, zavuleka iingcango zezulu, UNowa wangena emkhombeni nentsapho yakhe kunye nezilwanyana waza uThixo wavala ucango.
Emva kweentsuku ezisixhenxe, yana imvula ehlabathini iimini ezimashumi mane nobusuku obumashumi mane. Amanzi ahlula amalungisa, ababesemkhombeni, kwabangemalungisa.
Abangemalungisa bafela emanzini. Nangona kunjalo, amalungisa, abakholwayo kuThixo, bewagcina amazwi akhe, babesemkhombeni baza basinda.
Ubhaptizo lusindisa ngokuvuka kukaYesu Kristu
Ubhaptizo lufana nomfanekiso womkhukula, abafa ngayo abangahloneli Thixo, aza amalungisa asindiswa ngenxa yesazela esilungileyo sikaNowa ngakuThixo.
Okwafana nqwa nobhaptizo lusisindisayo ngoku (ingekuko ukulahla ubunqambi benyama, kukuphendula okuphuma kuThixo okunesazela esilungileyo,) ngokuvuka kukaYesu Kristu: Owe ezulwini, ungasekunene kukaThixo; kuthotyelwe phantsi kwakhe izithunywa zezulu, noomagunya, namandla (1 UPetros 3:21)
Wathi uYesu, ukuba wonke okholwayo wabhaptizwa, wosindiswa. Oku kokubini isithembiso nomyalelo kaYesu. Ngokuba ukuba uyakholwa kuKristu, uya kumthobela uYesu Krestu kwaye ubhaptizwe.
Ngokholo Kuye kunye nokuthobela kwakho umyalelo waKhe, ube nesazela esilungileyo kuye uThixo, usindiswe.
Amanzi awahlambululi kuphela kwaye ahlambulule, kodwa amanzi azisa ukwahlukana. Kanye njengokuba amanzi oNogumbe azisa ukwahlukana ngemihla kaNowa phakathi kwamalungisa nabangengomalungisa.
Anazi na, Oko abaninzi kuthi babhaptizwe kuYesu Krestu babhaptizelwa ekufeni kwakhe? Ngoko ke sangcwatywa naye ngokubhaptizelwa ekufeni: ukuze njengokuba uKristu wavuswayo kwabafileyo ngalo uzuko loYise, Ngokunjalo nathi sifanele sihambe sinobomi obutsha (AmaRoma 6:3-4)
Ekubhaptizweni, ixhego (inyama) uyafa angcwatywe, njengoYesu, Oweza esenyameni wathwala izono zehlabathi, wafa emnqamlezweni, wangcwatywa. Emva koko umntu omtsha (umoya) uyaphakama, njengokuba uYesu wavuka kwabafileyo. (Funda kwakhona: ‘UYesu wayengumntu ngokupheleleyo?‘ kwaye ‘Ukubethelelwa kwenyama‘).
Isazela esilungileyo ngakuThixo
UYise wayemthanda uNyana Wakhe, UYESU khristu, ngenxa yokuba uYesu wathobela intando nemithetho kaYise waza wabuncama ubomi bakhe waza wabuthabatha kwakhona. UBawo wayenike umyalelo namandla kuYesu, kodwa kwakuxhomekeke kuYesu ukuthobela umyalelo wakhe (UYohane 10).
UYesu akazange anyanzelwe, kodwa wabuncama obakhe ubomi (Inyama yakhe) ngokukhululekileyo. Wafa emnqamlezweni waza wawuthabatha kwakhona xa uYesu wavukayo kwabafileyo waza wenyuka waya ezulwini, apho uhleli ngasekunene kukaThixo, ngelixa iingelosi, zithotyelwe phantsi kwakhe amagunya nezilawuli. (Funda kwakhona: ‘Wayethetha ukuthini uYesu ngegunya lokubeka ubomi bakhe kwaye baphinde bathathe?).
Wonke umntu, okholwayo abhaptizwe uyawuthobela umthetho kaThixo wokuba ancame ubomi bakhe ngesisa abuthabathe kwakhona aze azibonakalise ngokubhaptizwa ngokufa nokuvuka kukaYesu Kristu..
Ubhaptizo sisazela esilungileyo njani kuThixo?
Umntu akanaso isazela esilungileyo kuThixo kwaye akemi kakuhle phambi koThixo ngokufa kwenyama elubhaptizweni.. Ngexesha lokubhaptizwa, iyafa inyama, ixhego lingcwatywe, kodwa umntu akasindiswanga ngaloo nto. Kodwa umntu usindiswa ngamanzi, ngokuvuka komoya kwabafileyo, athi ngalo umntu axolelaniswe noThixo, abe nokuma okuhle noThixo.
Kwaye ngoko ubhaptizo yimpendulo yesazela esilungileyo kuThixo, ngokuthobela umyalelo kaYesu nangokumfanisa nokuvuka kwakhe kwabafileyo ngokuvuka komoya kwabafileyo..
Abantu baya kusindiswa ngokholo nobhaptizo
Wathi uYesu, ukuze ngokholo nangobhaptizo umntu asindiswe. Kuphela ngokholo nokuzalwa ngokutsha kuKristu, umntu uya kusindiswa. Ngoba umntu, ongakholwayo kwaye ke akabhaptizwanga kwaye azalwe ngokutsha kuKristu, ke omoya ufileyo, uhleli phantsi kolawulo lokufa ebumnyameni, ebotshelelwe yinyama esonweni nasekufeni., uya kugwetywa.
Kwaye yena (UYesu) Wathi kubo, Yiya kulo lonke ilizwe, kwaye ushumayele iVangeli kuyo yonke indalo. lowo ukholiweyo wabhaptizwa, wosindiswa; ke yena ongakholwayo, uya kugwetywa (Phawula 16:15-16)
Kodwa ngokholo namanzi obhaptizo, umntu omdala uyafa aze umntu omtsha avuke kwabafileyo. Ukusuka kweso sikhundla sitsha kuKristu kunye nobhaptizo ngoMoya oyiNgcwele, indoda, othe waba sisidalwa esitsha, baya kuphila kwisazela esilungileyo ngakuThixo, bemthobela ngokuthanda kukaThixo, babe lingqina likaYesu Kristu emhlabeni..
Ukuba nesazela esilungileyo kuThixo ngokumlulamela
Kwaye uPawulos, eqwalasele ibhunga, watsho, Amadoda kunye nabantakwabo, Mna ndahlala ndinesazela esilungileyo phambi koThixo kwada kwayile mini (IZenzo 23:1)
Lo myalelo ndiwunikela kuwe, unyana kaTimoti, ngokweziprofeto ezandulelayo, ukuze ulwe ngazo umlo olungileyo; Ukubamba ukholo, kunye nesazela esilungileyo; abathe abathile bakulahlile ngenxa yokholo, baphukelwa ngumkhombe (1 uTimoti 1:18-19)
Ukuba uzelwe ngokutsha kwaye uMoya oyiNgcwele uhlala kuwe, awusayi kuphila phantsi kwetyala nokugwetywa kwaye uzive utyholwa kwaye usoyika ukusondela kuThixo kwaye uphile wahlukene noThixo. Ukuba uziva ngolu hlobo, mhlawumbi kufuneka uzibuze ukuba ngaba uzelwe ngokutsha ngenene kwaye unoMoya oyiNgcwele ohleli kuwe.
Kuba igama litsho, ukuba nithe nakholwa nabhaptizwa, Usindisiwe. Ngoko ke, ubhaptizo luyimpendulo yesazela esilungileyo kuThixo.
Kuba bonke abakhokelwa nguMoya kaThixo, bangoonyana bakaThixo bona
Kuba bonke abakhokelwa nguMoya kaThixo, bangoonyana bakaThixo bona. Kuba anamkelanga moya wabukhoboka, ukuba nibuye noyike; Namamkela ke uMoya wokwenziwa oonyana, apho sikhala khona, Abba, Utata. UMoya ngokwakhe ungqinelana nomoya wethu, ukuba singabantwana bakaThixo: Kwaye ukuba abantwana, ngoko iindlalifa; iindlalifa zikaThixo, iindlalifa ke kunye noKristu; ukuba okunene siva ubunzima kunye naye, ukuze nathi sizukiswe kunye (AmaRoma 8:14-17)
Ukuba uzelwe ngokutsha kwaye uMoya oyiNgcwele uhlala kuwe, UMoya oyiNgcwele uyangqina ngomoya wakho ukuba ungunyana kaThixo (oku kusebenza kuzo zombini iinkunzi nemazi) nokuba ungabakhe.
Awusayi kuMazi ngabanye, kodwa uya kumazi buqu, ngoYesu Kristu noMoya oyiNgcwele, nize nimbize ngokuthi, Abha, Bawo.
Niya kumphulaphula kwaye nigcine amazwi aKhe kwaye nithobele imiyalelo Yakhe, uthi ngalo ube nesazela esilungileyo kuye uThixo, umbonise ukuba uyamthanda.
