KwabaseRoma 7:14-26, UPawulos wabhalela abaNgcwele eRoma malunga nedabi kunye nobuthathaka bendoda endala. Indoda endala ilawulwa yimo yesono kwaye likhoboka lesono nokufa. Indoda endala ihamba emva kwenyama, Oko kuthetha ukuba kukhokelwa ziimvakalelo zakhe, ingqondo yenyama, iimvakalelo, iimvakalelo. Inyama enesono ilawula indoda endala kwaye inyanzela intetho kunye nezenzo zakhe (isebenza). Ngenxa yoko ixhego le ayinakumkholisa uThixo. Indoda endala ayinakuthwala isiqhamo nguThixo, kuba yonke into iveliswa yinyama yonakele; ichatshazelwe bububi (imvelo yesono). Indoda endala ihamba emva kwentando yenyama, ithwale isiqhamo sokufa.
Ithini iBhayibhile malunga nedabi kunye nobuthathaka bendoda endala?
UPawulos uchaza imfazwe kunye nobuthathaka bendoda endala, ngubani inyamakazi. Nangona kunjalo, UPaul akachazanga idabi kunye nobuthathaka bendoda endala, Ngubani ulikhoboka lesono kunye nebanjwa lenyama yesono. Kodwa uPawulos uchaza indlela yokukhululwa kule njongo yesono, ehlala izabalazela umoya kunye nezinto zobukumkani bukaThixo.
KwabaseRoma 7:14-26, UPaul akazange abhale malunga nedabi kunye nobuthathaka bendoda entsha (indalo entsha), Ngubani ozalelwe kuMoya. Kodwa uPawulos wabhala malunga nedabi kunye nobuthathaka be ixhego (Indalo yakudala), Ngubani ozelwe enyameni.
UPawulos wayengumFarisi. Ngoko ke, UPawulos wayenolwazi oluninzi lwentloko yeLizwi likaThixo. Wayekhonza uThixo emthethweni kaMoses.
UPawulos wayeyazi le leta, Kodwa uPawulos wayengayazi iLizwi eliphilayo; UYESU khristu.
Kwada kwaza kwazityhila kuPawulos, Utshutshise uYesu.
UPaul waguquka, Kwaye uYesu Kristu waba nguMsindisi wakhe, Kwaye wenza uYesu enkosi kubomi bakhe.
Indoda endala yasweleka kuKristu, Kwaye le ndoda intsha ivukile kwabafileyo kuKristu.
Akukho ndawo eBhayibhileni uPawulos, noYesu kunye nabanye abapostile, Yitsho ukuba uMthetho awulunganga. Okuphikisanayo, UPawulos wathi umthetho ungcwele, Kwaye imiyalelo kaThixo ingcwele, Ilungisa, kwaye kulungile. (Owu. AmaRoma 7:12).
Into kuphela yokuba lilungisa kwaye indlela yosindiso ayisekho ngomthetho, Kodwa ngoKristu. Awunakusindiswa kwaye wenze ubulungisa ngokugcina umthetho.
Umthetho ungokomoya
Unokusindiswa kuphela ngokholo kuYesu Krestu, Unyana kaThixo kunye ukuzalwa ngokutsha KuKristu kwaye uphila emva kwentando yakhe. NgoYesu Krestu kunye nokuzala kuye kungenile, Ngoku kukuwe ukuba uhlale kuye.
UMthetho wanikwa nguThixo kubantu bakhe abasemzimbeni. Nangona kunjalo, Isiseko somthetho singokomoya. Ngalo lonke ixesha abantu bahlala bekho, Abayi kukwazi ukuqonda umxholo woMthetho. Yeke ukumisela umthetho.
Kuphela yindoda entsha, Ngubani ozelwe ngamanzi nomoya, Uyakwazi ukuqonda izinto zikaThixo kwaye uhambe emva komoya. Ngokuhamba emva komoya ngokoMthetho woMoya woBomi, Indoda entsha imisela umthetho.
Indoda entsha ayiyi kuqwalasela imiyalelo kaThixo ngokweenzo ezintlanganisweni neseti yemithetho yenkolo yakudala. Kodwa umntu omtsha uyayigqala imiyalelo kaThixo njengemithetho yokuthanda kuYise, ovelisa ubomi noxolo. (Funda kwakhona: ‘UThixo wanika ilizwi lakhe ngaphandle kothando’)
Ngoku, Makhe sijonge amaRoma 7:14-26 kwaye 8:1-4*.
“Ndenza into endiyithiyileyo”
Kuba siyazi ukuba umthetho ungowomoya: kodwa ndim (ilawulwa yimo yesono), kuthengiswe phantsi kwesono (imvelo yesono). Ngento endiyenzayo andiyivumeli: ngento endiya kuyenza, andikho; Kodwa le ndiyithiyileyo, ndinjalo.
Ukuba emva koko ndiyayenza into endingayi kwenza, Ndiyavuma umthetho wokuba kulungile. Ngoku ke ayisenayo le nto yenze, kodwa isono (Imo yesono) uhlala kum.
Kuba ndiyazi ukuba kum (yiyo i, Enyama yam) uhlala akukho nto ilungileyo: ukuba iya kubakho nam; Kodwa indlela yokwenza oko kulungile andifumani (Kuba imeko yesono ilawula kwaye ichaza intetho kunye nezenzo zomntu. Indoda yenyama yendalo iphantsi kwenyama).
Yedwa endingayi kwenza: kodwa ububi obungayithandi, ndiyenza.
Ngoku ukuba ndiyayenza loo nto ngekhe, ayisenayo le nto yenze, kodwa isono (Imo yesono) uhlala kum.
Ndifumana umthetho, loo nto, xa ndiza kwenza okuhle, Ububi bukhona nam. Kuba ndiyoliswa ngumthetho kaThixo (Umthetho wobulungisa nobomi) Emva kwendoda engaphakathi: Kodwa ndibona omnye umthetho (Umthetho wesono nokufa) kumalungu am, Ukulwa nomthetho wengqondo yam (Umthetho wobulungisa nobomi), Ndandizisa ekuthinjweni kumthetho wesono, ekumntwini.
Owu ndoda! Abaya kundihlangula kulo mzimba wokufa?
Usindiso lwexhego, Ngubani ulikhoboka lesono nokufa
Ndiyabulela kuThixo Krestu iNkosi yethu. Ke ngengqondo, Mna nomthetho kaThixo ndiwukhonza umthetho kaThixo (Umthetho wobulungisa nobomi); kodwa ngenyama ngomthetho wesono.
Ke ngoko akukho kugwetywa kwabakuKristu Yesu,, abangahambiyo emva kwenyama, Kodwa emva komoya. Kuba umthetho woMoya wobomi, ndikuKristu Yesu, undikhulule emthethweni wesono nokufa.
Kuba umthetho awukwazi ukwenza ntoni, Ngalo nto yayibuthathaka ngenyama (Imo yesono, elawula kwindoda endala ye-carnal), UThixo uthumele unyana wayo ngokufana nenyama enesono, nesono, ukugwetywa isono enyameni: Ukuze ubulungisa bomthetho buza kuzaliseka kuthi, abangahambiyo emva kwenyama (ikhokelwa yimo yesono), kodwa emva komoya (Ikhokelwa nguMoya oyiNgcwele (AmaRoma 7:14-8:4)).
Indoda entsha ihlangulwe esonweni nokufa kwaye ihamba ngobulungisa
Xa uzalwa ngokutsha, Uhlangulwa kwimo yakho yesono. Kungenxa yokuba inyama yakho yafa kuKristu, Kwaye umoya wakho uvusiwe ekufeni.
Logama nje uhlala kuKristu kwaye uhambe emva komoya, Uya kuhlala kwinkululeko kaKristu.
Kodwa xa uvumela isono ebomini bakho kwaye Zingisa esonweni, kwaye ukhokelwe yimono emnandi ehlala emzimbeni wakho, UMtyholi noMthetho wakhe; Umthetho wesono nokufa, thatha ubukhosi ebomini bakho, Kwaye uya kubona idabi kunye nobuthathaka benyama.
