Kumazwe amaninzi aseNtshona, phantse isiqingatha semitshato siphela kuqhawulo-mtshato. Unokucinga, ukuba eli zinga liphezulu loqhawulo-mtshato lisebenza kuphela kwimitshato yabantu abangakholwayo, Kodwa ngelishwa, asiyonyani leyo. Imitshato emininzi yamaKristu iphelela kuqhawulo-mtshato. Siyintoni isizathu sokuba amaKristu amaninzi aqhawule umtshato kwaye ithini iBhayibhile ngoqhawulo-mtshato? Kuba amaKristu anokuba nezimvo ngoqhawulo-mtshato aze agqibe kwelokuba awuqhawule umtshato namaqabane awo, kodwa ayisiyiyo into ebalulekileyo. Eyona nto ibalulekileyo, indlela uThixo avakalelwa ngayo ngoqhawulo-mtshato. Ngaba uThixo uyalwamkela uqhawulo-mtshato kwaye amaKristu angaqhawula umtshato namaqabane awo okanye sisono. Makhe sijonge oko kuthethwa yiBhayibhile ngoqhawulo-mtshato.
Ngubani na isidalwa esitsha?
Xa ungumKristu ozelwe ngokutsha, oko kuthetha ukuba ube sisidalwa esitsha kuKristu. Awuseyiyo indalo yakudala, kodwa yindalo entsha. Nizelwe nguThixo ninoMoya oyiNgcwele ehleli kuni. KuKristu, niyincame inyama ekhoyo apha, yalawula ebomini benu.
Ngokuzalwa ngokutsha kuKristu kunye nokuhlala koMoya oyiNgcwele, unemvelo kaThixo. Akusekho malunga nawe kunye nentando yakho yenyama, kodwa ingoThixo nentando yoMoya.
Ngegazi likaYesu, Niye naxolelaniswa noThixo, nafuduswa phantsi kwegunya lobumnyama, ningena ebukumkanini bukaThixo, apho uYesu Kristu enguKumkani yaye elawula (KwabaseKolose 1:13-14).
Nangona uhlala kwihlabathi, anisengabo abehlabathi. Anisengabo abehlabathi nomphathi walo. Awusenguye unyana womtyholi kodwa ungunyana kaThixo (kokubini amadoda nabafazi).
Indalo endala ayisaphili
Phambi kokuba uzalwe ngokutsha, ubunguwe Indalo yakudala. Ubungowenyama kwaye ubuphila kubukhoboka bukasathana ngokwentando yenyama eyonakeleyo. Umtyholi wayengumlawuli wobomi bakho kwaye wamthobela kwaye wamkhonza ngokuphila ngokwenyama esonweni.
Zonke iimpawu zikasathana zazikhona kwasekuzalweni kwakho (enyameni yenu enesono). Njengokuzingca, ikratshi, ikratshi, umnqweno wokunqulwa nokuphakanyiswa ngabanye, ukungabi namonde, iasango, ukuphazamiseka, umona, umona, uloyiko, intiyo, Ukuthetha okubi (ubulala abanye ngamazwi akho), ukuxoka, njl.
Kodwa le ndlela yokuziphatha yatshintsha xa waba sisidalwa esitsha. Xa inyama yakho (nobume bayo obungendawo) wasweleka uKrestu, umoya wenu uvukile kwabafileyo, namamkela uMoya oyiNgcwele kuThixo.
Ngale nguqulelo yokomoya, indalo yakho yatshintsha.
Awusaphili kwindalo ewile ka-Adam kunye nesimilo sayo esibi, manisuka nibe nesimilo esitsha, nibe nobulungisa obungcwele.
Uya kumthanda uThixo ke ngoko uwakholelwe amazwi aKhe kwaye uwagcine amazwi nemithetho yakhe.
uze umthande ummelwane wakho ngoko uzithanda ngako. Malunga nale yokugqibela kukho ukungaqondi kakuhle okuninzi. Ukuba ungathanda ukwazi ukuba kuthetha ukuthini ukuthanda ummelwane wakho njengawe siqu, unokufunda inqaku elilandelayo: Kuthetha ntoni ukuthanda ummelwane wakho njengawe?).
Akukho malunga nawe kodwa ngaYe
Ukuba uzalwe ngokutsha, ayisekho ngawe kodwa ingaYe. Ayisekho malunga, Ingaba uguna ntoni, kodwa oko kufunwa nguThixo. Ngenxa yokuba ‘umphefumlo wakho’ ebethelelwe emnqamlezweni noKristu, inyama ingcwatywe kuYe ubhaptizo. Awusaphili, ke yena uKristu uhleli kuni.
Ayisekho malunga noluvo lwakho kunye neziphumo, kodwa indlela uThixo azijonga ngayo izinto. Ngoko ke, imalunga noko kuthethwa yiBhayibhile, ekubeni iBhayibhile iliLizwi likaThixo.
Ukuba onke amaKristu ebeya kufa ‘kuziqu zakhe’, baze baqale ukuphila ngokoMoya, ukwenza oko likutshoyo iLizwi, ngoko kuya kubakho ubunye kuMzimba kaKristu. Bekungayi kubakho umanyano eCaweni kuphela (uMzimba kaKristu), kodwa kwakuya kubakho umanyano emtshatweni nomanyano entsatsheni.
Ngoko, ukuba kukho ukungavisisani okungaka phakathi kwabantwana bakaThixo, sinokugqiba ngelithi ‘isiqu’ asikafi. Wonke umntu usenezimvo zakhe, benza intando yabo, behamba indlela yabo, endaweni yokuba nembono kaThixo, Ukwenza ukuthanda kukaThixo, nokuhamba ngendlela kaThixo. (Funda kwakhona: ‘Ayilombono wam, kodwa umbono wakhe’)
Ngoku konke oku engqondweni, makhe sijonge umbandela woqhawulo-mtshato eBhayibhileni. Makhe sijonge ukuba zeziphi izizathu ezisetyenziswa ngamaKristu ukuze aqhawule umtshato, ngokuchasene noko kuthethwa yiBhayibhile ngoqhawulo-mtshato. Ithini iBhayibhile ngoqhawulo-mtshato nokuba umKristu unokuqhawula umtshato phantsi kwaziphi iimeko?
‘Musa ukuba yimpatho yakudala, Uqhawulo-mtshato luyinxalenye yale minyaka!'
Bubuxoki obukhulu obu bukasathana. Ngalo lonke ixesha, uqhawulo-mtshato lwaluyinxalenye yoluntu. Abantu babeqhawula umtshato ngaphambi nangexesha likaMoses, ngexesha likaYesu, nangexesha labapostile. UMoses, UYesu, kwakunye noPawulos, noPetros wathetha ngomtshato noqhawulo-mtshato eBhayibhileni.
Oko sikubonayo, kukuba siphila ekupheleni kwemihla yokugqibela. Sibona ukwanda ngokukhawuleza kwesono nobugwenxa. Abantu, kubandakanya abantu abazibiza ngokuba bangamaKristu, banemvukelo. Abafuni kuxelelwa ukuba mabenze ntoni. Benza oko bafuna ukukwenza baze baphile ngokuthanda kwabo, (ngokwesondo) iinkanuko neminqweno endaweni iLizwi likaThixo.
IBhayibhile ayiselona gunya liphakamileyo ebomini babo. Ke ngoko abaphili ngokweLizwi likaThixo kwaye abayenzi intando yaKhe.
Uthando lwabo ngokwabo kunye nehlabathi lukhulu kunolwabo uthando ngoThixo. Ngenxa yokuba babeza kumthanda uThixo, njengokuba noYesu wayemthanda uThixo, kwaye uthande uYesu, bawathobele amazwi akhe. Babeza kuyigcina imiyalelo Yakhe baze baphile ngokwentando Yakhe.
Wathini uYesu eBhayibhileni ngesizathu sokuba amaKristu aqhawule umtshato?
Kutheni amaKristu amaninzi eqhawula umtshato? Ukuphendula lo mbuzo, kufuneka siye kuYesu. Kungenxa yokuba uYesu wachaza isizathu sokuba abantu baqhawule umtshato. Xa abantu bathetha noYesu baza bazama ukuluthethelela uqhawulo-mtshato ngokuthetha noMoses neencwadi zakhe zoqhawulo-mtshato, UYesu akazange avume ukuqhawula umtshato kwaye akazange asithethelele isono. Kodwa uYesu wathetha oku kulandelayo ngoqhawulo-mtshato:
UMoses ngenxa yobulukhuni beentliziyo zenu ukuba ulahle abafazi bakho: Kodwa ukusuka ekuqaleni kwakungenjalo (UMateyu 19:8)
Apha sinesizathu sokuba amaKristu aqhawule umtshato. Ukuba amaKristu afuna ukuqhawula umtshato, UYesu uthi, ukuba unobangela woqhawulo-mtshato bubulukhuni bentliziyo yabo.
Isizathu sokuba amaKristu aqhawule umtshato bubulukhuni beentliziyo zabo
Xa sijonga inguqulelo yobulukhuni bentliziyo, siyabona ukuba igama lesiGrike li ‘i-sclerocardia‘ (Ikhonkodensi yeG4641 Strong) kwaye kuthetha: ukuba lukhuni kwentliziyo, o.k. (ngakumbi), ukuswela (ngokomoya) ukuqonda:- ubulukhuni bentliziyo.
KuMnqophiso oMdala, abantu babenenyama kwaye bevaleleke kwinyama yabo enesono. Nakuba oonyana bakaSirayeli babebalukile enyameni yabo, abaninzi babengalukanga entliziyweni yabo. Intliziyo yabo ayizange iguquke. Kungoko baphila ngokwentando yabo, neminqweno yabo, neminqweno yenyama.
Babengafuni ukuthobela ukuthanda kukaThixo nokugcina imiyalelo nemimiselo yakhe ebhaliweyo kuMthetho kaMoses.. Kodwa babefuna ukuphila ngokwentando yabo, bezalisa iinkanuko neminqweno yabo (ububi) intliziyo.
Ubulukhuni bentliziyo buthetha ubuhlwempu bomoya. Ukuba uMoya akalawuleki ebomini bomntu, inyama iyalawula. Ukuba inyama iyalawula kubomi bamaKristu, ngoko bangamahlwempu ngokomoya kwaye abayi kuba nako ukuzibona izinto zoMoya. Bangabenyama kwaye bathwala isiqhamo senyama (imisebenzi yenyama), endaweni ye isiqhamo soMoya.
Ithi ‘ewe, kodwa’ Uluhlu lokuthethelela uqhawulo-mtshato
“Kodwa umyeni wam akakholwa, kwaye ubomi bam bunzima kakhulu. Andiqinisekanga ukuba ndingayithatha ixesha elingakanani le nto”
IBhayibhile ithi, ukuba ngokuhamba komfazi; ngendlela yakhe yokuphila nokuziphatha, indoda leyo ingakholiweyo izuza ngenxa kaYesu. (Funda kwakhona: Ungaguqula njani iqabane lakho elingakholwayo).
Ukuba ke indoda yakho engakholwayo, akakaguquki, ngoko ayinguye yedwa, ngubani onoxanduva kunye nonobangela wako konke ukungaboni ngasonye kunye nokulwa. Mhlawumbi kungenxa yokuziphatha kwakho kunye nokuhamba kwakho. Luhlobo luni lweziqhamo ozivelisayo?
Usenokuba nolunye uluvo okanye amava, kodwa iBhayibhile iyinyaniso yaye idlulela ngaphaya kweembono namava akho(s).
Ngaba ukwixesha elinzima? Emva koko (re)phethukela kwiLizwi likaThixo, funda kwaye ufunde amazwi Akhe, ukuze ukwazi ukuthanda kukaThixo, kwaye uwathobele amazwi kaThixo. Khumbula ukuba iNkosi yathi, loo nto Imithetho yakhe azinzima kwaphela.
ILizwi likaThixo liyakukhuthaza yaye likunika amandla, uxolo, kunye novuyo. Yatsho iNkosi uYesu, ndikunika uxolo”. UYesu wayengatsho, Ndikunika ixhala okanye ukudakumba.
Ixesha elininzi olichitha eLizwini, hlaziya ingqondo yakho, uze wenze oko iBhayibhile ikuxelela ukuba ukwenze, kokukhona uYesu ebonakala ebomini bakho kwaye iqabane lakho liya kutsaleleka kuye kwaye guqukani. Kuba iBhayibhile ithi ngokuhamba kwakho; ukuziphatha kwakho, indoda yakho engakholiweyo iya kuzuza ngenxa kaYesu.
“Ewe, kodwa umfundisi wam uyaluvuma uqhawulo-mtshato”
Umfundisi kufuneka abe ngunozakuzaku woBukumkani bukaThixo, thetha amazwi kaThixo, gcina imithetho yoBukumkani, imele intando kaThixo, kwaye uphile ubomi obufana noYesu. Ithetha ukuba, ukuze umlungiseleli alazi iLizwi, Thobela igama, kwaye ube ngumenzi wegama. (Funda kwakhona: ‘Abavayo ngokuchasene noomadoli‘).
Umfundisi kufuneka ahlale ezithoba kwiLizwi kwaye ahlale ethembekile kwiLizwi likaThixo. Umfundisi makamele ashumayele iLizwi likaThixo ebantwini. Kuba akukho malunga nento ayifunayo umfundisi. Akukho malunga noluvo lomfundisi, iziphumo, njl. nokuba. Kodwa konke kuxhomekeke koko uThixo akufunayo noko kukuthanda kukaThixo ngoqhawulo-mtshato. Ithini iBhayibhile ngoqhawulo-mtshato?
UmKristu ozelwe ngokutsha akanakuze aluvume uqhawulo-mtshato, njengoYesu. Kuba umKristu ozelwe ngokutsha uya kuhlala ethobela iLizwi likaThixo aze amele aze enze ukuthanda kukaThixo.
Ngoko, ukuba umfundisi wakho ukunike imvume yokuqhawula umtshato kwaye isizathu asikukuba uhenyuzo okanye iqabane lakho elingakholwayo likushiyile., ke umbuzo wam kuwe uthi: “Uthobela bani? Umfundisi wakho okanye uThixo?
“Ewe, kodwa naye umfundisi wam wohlukene”
Ngelishwa, abefundisi abaninzi baqhawule umtshato. Abanye abefundisi baye baphinda batshata kwaye baqhawula umtshato izihlandlo ezininzi kwaye basashumayela epulpitini. Inokwenzeka njani loo nto? Kuyenzeka ngenxa yokuba bazizithethi ezikhaliphileyo kunye/okanye bazuze ilifa lobufundisi babo kusapho lwabo okanye … (Gcwalisa izithuba).
Kodwa le ndlela yokuziphatha yesono ibonisa ukuba umfundisi owileyo ungowenyama kwaye uhamba emva kwenyama. Kaloku uqhawulo-mtshato ngumsebenzi wenyama. Umfundisi ukhetha ukwenza ukuthanda kwakhe, ezalisekisa inkanuko neminqweno yakhe yenyama endaweni yokuzithoba kuYesu, ebethelela iinkanuko neminqweno yakhe, nokuhamba ngokoMoya, Ukwenza ukuthanda kukaBawo.
Endaweni yokuba balawule isono nokufa bahambe belandela uMoya ebungcwaliseni, engumsebénzi wobulungisa, umfundisi uhlala ebukhobokeni besono. Umfundisi ungumsebenzi wobugwenxa kwaye ulawulwa ngumoya woqhawulo-mtshato kwaye ukhonza isono nokufa ngokuthobela lo moya woqhawulo-mtshato.,
Abantu banokuthi, “UThixo uyaxolela”. Kwaye kunjalo, UThixo uyaxolela, ukuba ubani uguquka ngokwenene ezonweni zakhe. Kodwa okokuqala, amaxesha amaninzi oku akunjalo. Kwenzeka amaxesha amaninzi xa umfundisi owileyo ebuyiselwa emva kwexesha elithile, umfundisi wenza kwa eso sono kwakhona.
Okwesibini, eBhayibhileni akukho ndawo ithi makubuyiselwe umfundisi owileyo esikhundleni sokuba ngumfundisi emva kokuba umfundisi enze isono ngabom. Okuphikisanayo, iBhayibhile icace gca ngale nto. (Funda kwakhona: ‘Ungabeki izandla mntu ngesiquphe’)
Ukuba umfundisi wona ngabom, njani ukuba umfundisi abe ngumzekelo kumakholwa nakwingqeqesho, lungisa kwaye uxelele amakholwa ukuba aguquke kwaye asuse izono ebomini babo? Ngokuchanekileyo, umfundisi akakwazi, ngokuba naye uqhubeka esona. Abantu baya kuthi, “Ungandinqanda njani ukuba ndiyenze loo nto, nawe uyenzile loo nto.”
“Ewe, ke mna ndamkele ilizwi elivela kuThixo; UThixo wathi mandiqhawule umtshato neqabane lam. UThixo wavuma ukuba ndiqhawule umtshato”
Abanye abantu bafumana ilizwi, iphupha, umbono, okanye ukuprofeta ngamaqabane abo, apho uThixo abaxelela khona, ukuba umtshato wabo asikokuthanda kukaThixo nokuba uThixo ubaxelele ukuba bawuqhawule umtshato, ukuze bakhonze uThixo ngentliziyo epheleleyo.
Ukuba ufumene igama elifanayo, ngoko ungalikhaba elo gama ngoko nangoko!
Akukholeleki, mangaphi amaKristu abawafumanayo la mazwi kwaye bakholelwa ngokwenene ukuba aphuma kuThixo.
Oku akunakuba lilizwi, iphupha, umbono, okanye isiprofeto sikaThixo, kuba uThixo akanako ukuziphikisa.
KuMalaki 2:16, UThixo uthi uluthiyile uqhawulo-mtshato. Ukuba uThixo uluthiyile uqhawulo-mtshato, uThixo unokukuyalela njani ukuba uqhawule umtshato neqabane lakho okanye avume ukuqhawula kwakho umtshato? Ayinakwenzeka loo nto!
UMoya oyiNgcwele kunye neLizwi bahlala besebenzisana. Abanakuphikisana omnye nomnye.
Xa ufumene ilizwi okanye iphupha, umbono, Isiprofetho, njl, oko akuvisisani neBhayibhile, kufuneka uhlale uyigatya. Nokuba limangalisa kangakanani kwaye lithembisa ilizwi, umbono wephupha, okanye isiprofeto sisenokubakho.
Ukuba iyaphikisana neBhayibhile, ngoko ayizange ivele kuThixo, uphuma kwisithunywa sokukhanya (umtyholi), owazama ukunihenda, wanenza ukuba none kuThixo.
Kuphantsi kwaziphi iimeko apho umKristu anokuqhawula umtshato ngokutsho kweBhayibhile?
Kukho izizathu ezibini zeBhayibhile zokuqhawula umtshato. Isizathu sokuqala esiseBhayibhileni soqhawulo-mtshato luhenyuzo. IBhayibhile ithi, xa indoda (okanye umfazi) wenza umbulo, ngoko iqabane linelungelo lokuqhawula umtshato.
Ke mna ndithi kuni, Ukuba athe umntu abeke umfazi wakhe, ukugcina unobangela wohenyuzo, uyamkrexezisa: nothe wazeka owaliweyo, uyakrexeza (UMateyu 5:32).
Isizathu sesibini seBhayibhile sokuqhawula umtshato kuxa iqabane elingakholwayo lishiya iqabane elikholwayo.
Kodwa ukuba lowo ungakholiweyo uyahluka, makahambe. umzalwana nokuba ngudade akabotshelelwe, xa kunjalo;: ke uThixo usibizele eluxolweni (1 KwabaseKorinte 7:15)
Ngoko, Izizathu ezibini eziseBhayibhileni zokuba umKristu aqhawule umtshato kuxa iqabane lihenyuza okanye xa iqabane elingakholwayo limshiya..
Ithini iBhayibhile ngomtshato nokuphela komnqophiso womtshato?
Xa utshata, nikumnqophiso womtshato. Wonke umnqophiso umiselwe nguThixo kwaye ungcwele kuThixo. Kanye njengokuba singene kumnqophiso noThixo kwaye siphila kuMnqophiso oMtsha, Ngokholo kunye nokuhlaziywa kuYesu Krestu, indoda nomfazi bangena kumnqophiso womtshato baze baphile kumnqophiso womtshato.
Lo mnqophiso womtshato uphela xa omnye wabo babini esifa (1 KwabaseKorinte 7:39, AmaRoma 7:1-3).
Ngoku makhe sijonge ezinye iindinyana zeBhayibhile ezithetha ngoqhawulo-mtshato. Makhe sijonge oko uThixo akuthethayo ngoqhawulo-mtshato noko uYesu akuthethayo ngoqhawulo-mtshato.
Ithini iBhayibhile ngoqhawulo-mtshato?
IBhayibhile ithetha oku kuqhawulo-mtshato:
Uze ungakrexezi (iEksodus 20:14)
Kwaye akazange enze enye? Wayenamasalela omoya. Kwaye ngoko ke enye? Ukuze afune imbewu ehlonela uThixo. Ke ngoko uqonde umoya wakho, ingaze inginize umfazi wobutsha bakhe. YeNkosi, UTHIXO kaSirayeli, Uthi ukuthiyile ukwala: Kuba umntu ugubungela ugonyamelo nengubo yakhe, utsho uYehova wemikhosi: Ke ngoko uqonde umoya wakho, ukuze ningenzi ubuqhophololo (uMalaki 2:15-16)
Ithethwa, Wonke umntu owisa inkosikazi yakhe, makanike incwadi yokubhalwa koqhawulo-mtshato: Ke mna ndithi kuni, Ukuba athe umntu abeke umfazi wakhe, ukugcina unobangela wohenyuzo, Ubangela Ukukrexeza: Kwaye nabani na otshatileyo owaqhawula umtshato uyakrexeza (UMateyu 5:31-32)
‘Oko uThixo akumanyileyo, makungabikho bani ukwahlulayo’
Waphendula ke uYesu, wathi kubo,, Awufundanga, ukuba lowo wabadalayo kwasekuqalekeni wabadala bayindoda nenkazana, Uye wathi, Ngenxa yesi sizathu uya kumshiya uyise nonina, Uya kunamathela kumfazi wakhe: Kwaye bobabini baya kuba nyama-nye inyama? Kungoko bengasabi ngaphezulu, kodwa inyama enye. Oko ke ngoko uThixo akumanyeneyo kunye, makungabikho mntu wumbi. Bathi kuye, Kwakutheni ukuze uMoses awise umthetho wokuba kunikwe incwadi yoqhawulo-mtshato, nokumlahla? Athi kubo, UMoses ngenxa yobulukhuni beentliziyo zenu ukuba ulahle abafazi bakho: Kodwa ukusuka ekuqaleni kwakungenjalo. Kwaye nditsho kuwe, Wonke umntu owisa inkosikazi yakhe, Ngaphandle kokuba yeyokuhenyuza, kwaye uya kuzeka omnye, ukulungiselela ukukrexeza: Kwaye othe wakuzeka obhubhileyo, uyakrexeza (UMateyu 19:4-9)
Oko ke ngoko uThixo akumanyeneyo kunye, makungabikho mntu wumbi (Phawula 10:9)
UPawulos wabhalela ibandla laseKorinte oku kulandelayo:
Ke kwabazekileyo ndiyabawisela umthetho, kodwa ayisiyiyo, kodwa yiNkosi, Umfazi makangahlukani nendoda yakhe: Kodwa ukuba uyemka, makahlale engatshatanga, nokuba makaxolelaniswe nendoda yakhe: nendoda mayingamali umfazi wayo (1 KwabaseKorinte 7:10-11)
Ngaba uqhawulo-mtshato yintando kaThixo ngokutsho kweBhayibhile?
Sinokugqiba ngokusuka eZibhalweni eBhayibhileni ukuba uqhawulo-mtshato asikokuthanda kukaThixo. UThixo uluthiyile uqhawulo-mtshato! Uqhawulo-mtshato sisono, ngumsebenzi wenyama.
Ukuba uThixo uluthiyile uqhawulo-mtshato kwaye singabantwana bakhe kwaye sinendalo yakhe, akufanele na ukuba siluthiye uqhawulo-mtshato?
Njengoonyana neentombi zikaThixo, ayikho malunga neziphumo zethu, izimvo, into esiyifunayo, kunye neziphumo kunye nezimvo zehlabathi. Konke kuxhomekeke koko uThixo akufunayo. UThixo ukuthenge ngegazi elixabisekileyo likaYesu Kristu. NingabakaThixo. UyiNkosi yakho kwaye kufuneka uphile ngokwentando yakhe. Ngoko ke akunakwenzeka, njengonyana okanye intombi kaThixo yokuqhawula umtshato.
Ukuba ucinga ngoqhawulo-mtshato okanye ukuba ukwinkqubo yoqhawulo-mtshato, usenokuzibuza lo mbuzo ulandelayo:
Are uzelwe ngokutsha ngokwenene, kwaye uyamthanda uThixo ngentliziyo yakho yonke, umphefumlo, ingqondo, kunye namandla? Ngaba nikhonza uThixo kwaye nikholisa uMoya?? Okanye ngaba uyazithanda kwaye uyazikhonza kwaye ndiyakucela (intando kunye neemvakalelo ze) inyama yakho?
Ukuba uzelwe ngokutsha kwaye umthanda ngenene uThixo kwaye ukhonza uThixo kufuneka ulazi iLizwi lakhe.
Kufuneka uhlaziye ingqondo yakho ngeBhayibhile (ILizwi likaThixo) kwaye uwasebenzise amazwi akhe ebomini bakho. Lo nto, uba ngumenzi weLizwi kwaye ubonise uThixo ukuba uyamthanda.
Kuba igama litsho, ukuba uyaMthanda, niyigcine imithetho yakhe (Funda kwakhona: Abaphulaphuli vs abenzi).
Ukuba awufundi iLizwi lakhe kwaye uphile ngokwenyama yakho usenza intando yakho kwaye ukhokelwa ziimvakalelo zakho, izimvo, kunye neziphumo, wandule ke ulingane nephenyane elibalekayo elingenamkhuseli.
Akukho mntu ukunyanzelayo ukuba wenze ukuthanda kukaThixo. Umenzile uYesu Kristu ukuba abe nguMsindisi neNkosi ebomini bakho. Unyule ukukhonza uYesu. Ukuba wenze isigqibo sokukhonza uYesu, ke oko kuthetha, ukuba ufanele umkhonze ngenene uYesu wenze ukuthanda kwakhe endaweni yokuzikhonza wenze ukuthanda kwakho.
Yintoni ukuthanda kukaThixo emtshatweni ngokutsho kweBhayibhile?
Ukwenza ukuthanda kukaThixo emtshatweni kuthetha, ukuba nikhonzane. Asikokwamkela kodwa ukupha.
UYesu wayalela ukuba umthande ummelwane wakho njengawe siqu. Emtshatweni, ithetha ukuba, ukuba ulithande iqabane lakho njengoko uzithanda ngako. Uyenza njani loo nto? Uyaliphatha iqabane lakho, indlela ofuna ukuphathwa ngayo. Kuthetha ukuba awuliphathi kakubi iqabane lakho, ngokuxoka kwiqabane lakho, ukuqhatha iqabane lakho, ukuxhaphaza ngokwengqondo okanye ngokwasemzimbeni iqabane lakho, njl.
Xa uthobela uThixo neLizwi lakhe, qala ukuthanda iqabane lakho kwaye ungacingi ngawe, uya kubona ukuba umtshato wakho nobomi bakho buya kutshintsha.
‘Yiba yityuwa yomhlaba’
