Intsingiselo yeKolose 1:18
UYesu ngumfanekiso kaThixo ongabonakaliyo, izibulo lwazo zonke izinto kunye noYesu yintloko yomzimba, iBandla. Ekuphela kwendlela yokufikelela kwicawe kukholo kunye nokuhlaziywa kuYesu Krestu. Ukuba uzalwe kwakhona kuKristu, Nguwe womzimba wakhe, iBandla.
Intloko yentloko, ithatha isigqibo, kwaye ikhokele emzimbeni kunye nemizimba yemali kwaye ilandele kwaye yenza ukuthanda kwentloko.
Ke wonke umntu, Ngubani ozelwe ngokutsha kwaye yeyaseCawa, Kuya kufuneka bathobele kuYesu Krestu kwaye bamthobele kwaye Mlandeleni kwaye wenze ukuthanda kwakhe.
Ingqondo isentloko
Ingqondo isentloko. Ngoko ke, ezo, abazelwe ngokutsha kwaye bangowemzimba kaKristu, iBandla, kufuneka zihlaziye iingqondo zabo ngeLizwi likaThixo. Ngoba? Ukuze iingqondo kunye neengcinga zabo ziya kudibana neLizwi kwaye zinokungqina ukuba yintoni elungileyo, kwaye yamkelekile, kwaye ifezekile nguThixo.
Ndiyacela ke, bazalwana, Ngeenceba zikaThixo, ukuba nimisa imizimba yakho,, ngcwele, yamkelekile kuThixo, Yeyiphi inkonzo yakho efanelekileyo. Kwaye ungafani neli lizwe: Kodwa yiba utshintsha yingqondo yakho, ukuba niya kungqina oko kulungileyo, kwaye yamkelekile, kwaye igqibelele, intando kaThixo (AmaRoma 12:1-2)
Ngaphambi kokuba ukholelwe, waguquka, kwaye yabauzelwe ngokutsha, ubuyindalo yakudala.
Ungowokuveliswa kwendoda ewileyo. Ingqondo yakho izele bubulumko, ulwazi, kunye nezinto zehlabathi.
UMtyholi wayenguyihlo kwaye wezonga ihlabathi. Ngoko ke, ubucinga, ndathetha, isebenze, kwaye waphila njengehlabathi.
Nangona kunjalo, ngokholo kuYesu Krestu nokuzalwa ngokutsha kuye, Ngokusweleka kwenyama kunye novuko loMoya ekufeni, Utshintshelwa kubukumkani bobumnyama buye ebukumkanini bukaThixo.
AwusengoMtyholi kunye nehlabathi kwaye Azisekho soni. Kodwa wena ungakaThixo nobukumkani bakhe kwaye ube yingcwele.
Olunye uBukumkani luthetha olunye uKumkani nomnye umthetho
Olunye loBukumkani luthetha, phakathi kwabanye, Omnye uKumkani, Omnye umthetho; eminye imiyalelo kunye neminye imithetho. Kufuphi, Kuthetha utshintsho lobomi.
Ke ngoko kubalulekile xa uzalwe ngokutsha, Ukuvuselela ingqondo yakho ngeLizwi likaThixo. Kuba ngokuvuselela ingqondo yakho, Uya kwazi ukuthanda kukaThixo, wenze ngokwamazi ngenyaniso, kwaye uya kuhamba ngeendlela zikaThixo, kwaye uya kuhamba ngeendlela zakhe. (Funda kwakhona: Ngaba iingcinga zikaThixo iingcinga zethu? kwaye Yindlela kaThixo indlela yakho?).
Ukuba ingqondo yakho ihlaziywa ngeLizwi likaThixo kwaye uyayazi ukuthanda kwakhe nenyaniso yakhe, Awusayi kuba sakholelwa ubuxoki bukaMtyholi kwaye ucinge, isenzo, kwaye uhambe njengeLizwe, kwaye uphile ubomi obufanayo ngaphambi kokuba ulwe ngokutsha, Xa wawuyindalo yakudala, umoni.
Kodwa ngokuvuselela ingqondo yakho, uya kuphakamisa ngokomoya kwaye ucinge, isenzo, kwaye uhambe njengendalo entsha, NjengoYesu Krestu, kwaye ngokuzithoba kunye nokuthobela kwiLizwi, Uya kwenza ukuthanda kwakhe.
UYesu yintloko yomzimba, iBandla
UYesu yintloko yomzimba, iBandla. Xa ungowemizimba kaKristu, Ufanele ucinge ngendlela acinga ngayo aze enze ngayo ngendlela asebenza ngayo aze ayigcine imiyalelo yakhe kwaye enze ukuthanda kwakhe.
Ngokwenza ukuthanda kwakhe, Awuyi kuba ngumphulaphuli welizwi kuphela, kodwa ngumenzi welizwi. (Funda kwakhona: ‘Abaphulaphuli vs abenzi’).
NguYesu liLizwi eliphilayo kwaye I-Waturbanisele yendalo entsha, Ohambe phezu komhlaba. UYesu wayezaliswe nguMoya oyiNgcwele. Wenza ukuthanda kukaYise, Apho wazukisa kwaye waphakamisa uyise. ILizwi kunye noMoya ngamaNgqina kaThixo emhlabeni.
UYesu wajamelana nokufa kwaye ukoyisa ukufa kwaye wavuka ekufeni ukuba aye ebomini obungunaphakade, ukuze wonke umntu, Ngubani owayeka ubomi bakhe kwaye ngokholo kuYesu Krestu wazalelwa kwakhona kwakhona, ngekhe ndibone ukufa, kodwa faka ubomi banaphakade.
UYesu Kristu wanika umzekelo
Khangela, Uthando oluza kuluthandile uBawo, Ukuze sibizwe ngoonyana bakaThixo: Ngenxa yoko ihlabathi liyasi, kuba ibingamazi. Zintanda, Ngoku singoonyana bakaThixo, kwaye ayikabonakali into esiya kuba yiyo: Kodwa siyayazi loo nto, xa ebonakala, Siya kuba njengaye; Kuba siya kumbona njengoko anjalo. Kwaye wonke umntu onalo eli themba kuye, wazenza ngokwakhe, Kanye njengokuba enyulu (1 UYohane 3:1-3)
UYesu Kristu usinike umzekelo. Wasibonisa indlela yokuphila ngoonyana bakaThixo (kokubini amadoda nabafazi) Kwigunya likaThixo ngokuthobela ukuthanda kwakhe.
UYESU wasibonisa ulwalamano lwakhe noBawo. Wasibonisa la mazwi awawathethayo njenganegunya nemisebenzi ayenzileyo egameni likayise namandla oMoya oyiNgcwele, ezukisile uYise.
UYesu yintloko yomzimba wakhe, iBandla. SiyiCawe kwaye yintloko yethu. Ke ibandla, Ngubani omele aze ashumayele ubukumkani bukaYesu Krestu, iya kuthetha, Yenza kwaye uhambe ngegunya likaYesu Krestu namandla oMoya oyiNgcwele kunye nokuBheka kwaye Ukutshabalalisa imisebenzi yobumnyama.
NguYesu iNtloko yobomi bakho?
Ukuba uYesu uyiNtloko yeCawa kwaye ukuba uzalwe ngokutsha kwaye ube yicawa, Emva koko uYesu Krestu yintloko yobomi bakho. Kuba wasweleka kuKristu, Awusahlali, ke yena uKristu uhleli kuni. Umzimba wakho yitempile kaThixo, Apho kuhlala umoya ohleli oyiNgcwele(Owu. kwabaseGalati 2:20, 1 KwabaseKorinte 3:16; 6:19, 2 KwabaseKorinte 6:16).
Ke ngoku aningabo abasemzini, nabasemzini, kodwa amanye amaphecana kunye nabaNgcwele, nendlu kaThixo; Kwaye zakhiwe kwisiseko sabapostile nabaprofeti, UYesu Kristu ngokwakhe ulilitye lekona; Lowo uza kubeleka ngabani na lonke ulwakhiwo ekhulela itempile engcwele eNkosini: Ekuninakwe nani nikhelwe, ukuze nihlale kuye uYehova ngoMoya kaThixo (Kwabase-Efese 2:19-22)
Anazi na ukuba niyitempile kaThixo, nokuthi umoya kaThixo uhlala ngaphakathi kuwe? Ukuba umntu uyayonakalisa itempile kaThixo inqaba, Uyamonakalisa uThixo; Kuba itempile kaThixo ingcwele, yeyiphi itempile (1 KwabaseKorinte 3:16-17).
Intoni? Anazi na ukuba umzimba wakho uyitempile yendoda oyiNgcwele okukuwe, eninayo uThixo, kwaye anikho eyakho? Kuba nathengwa ngexabiso: Mzukise ke uThixo ngomzimba wakho, kwaye emoyeni wakho, engoThixo (1 KwabaseKorinte 6:19-20)
Ukuba uvumela uYesu abe yintloksi yobomi bakho kwaye ushenxise kuye kwaye uhambe ngokwentando yakhe nokuthobela Imithetho yakhe, ke uya kuba njengaye, uthethe, Yenza kwaye uhambe njengaye. Kuba uThixo unike amandla kuye wonke umntu, ngubani owamkelayo, Ukuze babe ngoonyana bakaThixo (UYohane 1:12-13).
Ukuba uYesu uyiNtloko yobomi bakho uya kuthi uthobele
Ukuba ungoYesu Krestu kwaye uzithobe kuye, Uya kwenza into ayithethayo, kwaye yintoni emkholisayo. Ngobomi bakho kwaye uya kuhamba uya kumzukisa kwaye uzukise.
Kwaye ngale nto siyazi ukuba siyamazi, Ukuba sigcina imiyalelo yakhe. Lowo utshoyo, Ndiyamazi, kwaye ayiyigcini imiyalelo yakhe, lixoki, kwaye inyani ayikho kuye. Ke ogcina iLizwi lakhe, Ngaye uthando lukaThixo lugqibelele: Ngale nto uyazi ukuba sikuye. Lowo uthi, yena dade kuye, ngokwakhe ufanele ukuhamba ngayo, Kanye njengokuba wayehamba (1 UYohane 2:3-6).
Kodwa ukuba awukwazi ukuvumela umhlaba, kuba uyalithanda kakhulu umhlaba kakhulu. Kwaye ukuba uqhubeka usenza izinto ofuna ukuyenza, Endaweni yokwenza izinto zikaYesu ezifuna ukuba uzenze, kwaye uhamba emva kwenyama, Ukwenza imisebenzi yenyama nokunyamezela kwesono, Asoyi kuba sakubakho intloko kwaye awusayi kuba sebakhe, kuba awuyenzi into ayithethayo.
UYesu wanika umzimba wakhe, ukuze ibandla libe ngumzimba wakhe
Oku kukwasebenza nakwiCawe. UYesu wanika umzimba wakhe, ukuze sibe ngumzimba wakhe. Kodwa ukuba icawe ishiya uYesu Krestu; igama kwaye akenzi into ayithethayo kwaye (ngokomoya) Umthendele weCawe, Ke icawe iya kuba liziko lentlalontle lobuntu, egxile emntwini nasekondla kwaye ithande inyama, Endaweni yokuba ngamandla kaThixo, ejonge kuYesu Krestu nobukumkani bakhe kwaye ukondla umoya womntu. (Funda kwakhona: Icawe iziko lentlalontle okanye amandla kaThixo?)
Icawe ayinamandla ngokomoya kwaye ayiyi kuba nakho ukuma nxamnye namagunya, abalawuli, Uncedo, iitrone, njl. Yobukumkani bobumnyama, Kubangela ukuba uMtyholi azibonakalise ebandleni; Kubomi babantu ngemisebenzi yenyama (unqulo-zithixo, ubugqwirha, ukungcola kwesondo, uhenyuzo, ukukrexeza, uqhawulo-mtshato, ukubawa, njl.)
Ke hlala eLizwini. Sukushiya amazwi kaThixo. Vumela uYesu Krestu abe yiNtloko yeBandla neNtloko yobomi bakho.
