KwabaseKolose 2:11-12 sifunda ngolwaluko kuKristu nokungcwatywa noKrestu elubhaptizweni nokuvuswa kunye naye ngokholo lokusebenza kukaThixo.. Kodwa ukuba ukungcwatywa noKristu elubhaptizweni nokuvuswa kunye naye ngokholo lokusebenza kukaThixo kuthetha ukuthini ngokweBhayibhile??
Ulwaluko kuKristu
enathi kuye naluswa nokwaluswa ngolwaluko olungenakwenziwa ngazandla, ekuhlutheni umzimba wezono zenyama, ngalo ulwaluko lukaKristu: Wangcwatywa kunye naYe elubhaptizweni, ekuye, navuswa nokuvuswa naye, ngokholo lokusebenza kukaThixo, owamvusayo kwabafileyo (KwabaseKolose 2:11-12)
Isidalwa esitsha saluswa kulwaluko lukaYesu Kristu. Olu lwaluko alwenziwa ngezandla, ulwaluko lwendalo kwijwabi lendoda. Kodwa oku kolwaluko kungumsebenzi woMoya kwaye kwenzeka ngokukhupha umzimba wesono wamadoda nabafazi.. Ulwaluko kuKristu; ukunqunyulwa komzimba wezono zenyama, kwenzeka ngobhaptizo, xa ixhego (inyama) ungcwatywe noKristu kwaye uba lidlelane lokufa kwakhe nomntu omtsha (umoya) uvukile kwabafileyo ngokukholwa ukusebenza kukaThixo, owamvusayo kwabafileyo.
Indoda endala ingcwatywe noKrestu elubhaptizweni
Siza kuthini emva koko? Siza kuqhubeka esonweni, Olo lubabalo lwaluphele? Makube lee oko. Saya kuthi, abafileyo kwisono, phila nangakumbi? 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.
Kuba ukuba similiselwe kuye ngemfano yokufa kwakhe, nathi siya kuba kwanjengemifuziselo yovuko lwakhe: Ukwazi oku, ukuba umntu wethu omdala wabethelelwa emnqamlezweni kunye naye, ukuze umzimba wesono uphuthiswe, ukuze singabi sasikhonza isono. kuba owafayo ugwetyelwe, wakhululwa kuso isono (AmaRoma 6:1-7)
Xa ubhaptiziwe, Nathi nalùswa ngolwaluko lukaKristu, nibungcwabile ububomi obudala;.
Indoda endala, ongowenyama, olawulwa yingqondo, olawulwa yinyama, ayisekho.
Indoda endala, Indoda yenyama, ufile ekuKristu nakumntu omtsha, umntu wokomoya, uvukile kuKristu kwabafileyo.
Izinto ezindala zidlule, Zonke izinto zintsha!
Wakholelwa kuYesu Kristu waza wagqiba ekubeni landela uYesu waza wangena emnqophisweni kunye Naye kwaye njengomqondiso womnqophiso ulwaluko kuKristu.
Kanye njengakuMnqophiso oMdala ulwaluko lwendalo lwenyama yokwaluswa lwaluluphawu lomnqophiso phakathi koThixo, UAbraham, kwaye iMbewu yakhe, kuMnqophiso oMtsha, ulwaluko ngokukhulula umzimba wezono zenyama ngobhaptizo, luphawu loMnqophiso oMtsha kuKristu.
Umntu omtsha uvuswe noKrestu kwabafileyo
Ukuba ke sifile kunye noKrestu, siyakholwa ukuba sodla ubomi kwandawonye naye: sisazi ukuba uKristu, evusiwe nje kwabafileyo, akabi safa; ukufa akusenagunya kuye. Kuba wafa ngaloo nto, Wafa kwakanye kwisono: udla ubomi ngokobudlayo, uphilela uThixo. Ngokunjalo nani zibaleleni ekuthini, ningabafileyo okunene kwisono, kodwa budla ubomi kuThixo ngoYesu Kristu, iNkosi yethu.
Ngoko isono masingalawuli emzimbeni wenu onokufa, ukuze niwululamele ngokweenkanuko zawo. Kanjalo amalungu enu maningawanikeli kuso isono, ukuba abe ziintonga zentswela-bulungisa;: kodwa zinikeleni nina ngokwenu kuThixo, njengabaphilayo bephuma kwabafileyo, amalungu enu ke, ukuba abe ziintonga zobulungisa kuThixo. Kuba isono asiyi kuniphatha ngabukhosi: kuba aniphantsi komthetho, kodwa phantsi kobabalo.
Yintoni ke? sone na, ngokuba singekho phantsi komthetho, kodwa phantsi kobabalo? Makube lee oko. Anazi na, kuba lowo nizigqala kuzo, ukuba nithobele, Abakhonzi bakhe nina niye nimthobela kuye; Nokuba yesono kukufa, okanye ukuthobela ubulungisa? (AmaRoma 6:8-16)
Kwaye ukuba uKristu ungaphakathi kwenu, umzimba ufile ngenxa yesono; kodwa uMoya ububomi ngenxa yobulungisa (AmaRoma 8:10)
Kuba, ukuba niphila ngokwenyama, ewe uya kufa: kodwa ukuba niyazibulala ngoMoya, zife iintlondi zomzimba, niya kuphila. Kuba bonke abakhokelwa nguMoya kaThixo, bangoonyana bakaThixo bona (AmaRoma 8:13-14)
UYesu Kristu ukoyisile ukufa! Ukuba uye waba sisidalwa esitsha kuye, Niye nakhululwa nakhululwa egunyeni lesono nokufa ngokubekwa komzimba wezono zenyama, yaye ninikwe kuKristu igunya lokulawula isono nokufa..
Aniyi kuba sayiphulaphula inyama kwaye nikhokelwa yinyama yenyama kwaye nizalisekise iinkanuko kunye neminqweno yenyama., ekubeni inyama yona ifile kuKristu.
Ubungqina bokuba inyama ifile kuKristu
Ukuba ke inyama ekwisimo esonakeleyo, ifele kuKristu, inyama ayisayi kuphinda ivelise imisebenzi engalunganga yenyama, ezi zi a.o. ukukrexeza, uhenyuzo, uqhawulo-mtshato, (ngokwesondo) ukungahlambuluki, i-effemisacy, I-Inordinate Uthando (inkanuko), Ingqiniso lobubi, ukubawa, umsindo, ingqumbo, ububi, ukunyelisa, Unxibelelwano olungcolileyo, ukuxoka, I-Lascivied, unqulo-zithixo, ubugqwirha, intiyo, umahluko, ukufuya, Imbambano, ukumiselwa, i-heredies, umona, ubusela, ukubulala, ukunxila, impindezelo (1 KwabaseKorinte 6:9- 6, kwabaseGalati 5:19-21, KwabaseKolose 3:5-10).
Ukuba usayenza imisebenzi yenyama, aningalukanga kuKristu, ngokuba umzimba wezono zenyama awukanqunyulwanga kwaye awungcwatywa kuKristu kodwa usaphila.
Indalo yakudala, ongabehlabathi, ehleli ebukumkanini bobumnyama, wenza le misebenzi ingeyobulungisa. Kodwa ukuba nithe nazalwa ngokutsha kwaye naluswe emanyathelweni ulwaluko lukaKristu ngokususa umzimba wezono wenyama, nize ningabi sayenza loo misebenzi, kodwa uya kwenza imisebenzi yobulungisa ngokwentando kaThixo.
Uyakumamela uBawo kwaye uzithobe kwiLizwi lakhe kwaye uthobele amazwi kaThixo kwaye uwasebenzise ebomini bakho, ekubeni iLizwi likaThixo liyinyaniso. Uya kuhamba emva koMoya ekuthandeni kukaThixo kwaye uMoya uya kulawula ebomini bakho. Nje ngeziphumo, uya kuphila ubomi obungcwele kuThixo, uyithwale isiqhamo soMoya.
