Uthando lobuxoki luthando ahamba kulo amaKristu amaninzi. Uthando lobuxoki luthando lwehlabathi kwaye luchasa ngokupheleleyo uthando lukaThixo olunobulungisa. Olu thando kufuneka luthande wonke umntu, ivuma zonke izinto, wamkela isono, kwaye ivumela yonke into ebandleni, kwaye uye wawanyikimisa amaKristu ukuba alale wabenza bangenzi nto kwidabi lokomoya. Ithini iBhayibhile ngothando lobuxoki nomahluko phakathi kokuthanda ihlabathi nothando olunobulungisa lukaThixo?
Ithini inkcazo yothando lobuxoki?
Uthando lobuxoki lunobuntu, ukulahla uthando oluphuma kumtyholi kwaye lusenokubonakala luphila kwaye lulungile, kodwa eneneni, luyachasa uthando, Ubulungisa, nentando kaThixo. Uthando lobuxoki lukholelwa ubuxoki bukasathana kwaye yamkela kwaye ikhuthaze imisebenzi yobumnyama kwaye ikhuthaza intswela-bulungisa kunye (ngokwesondo) ukungahlambuluki.
Uthando lobuxoki lubangela ukuba amaKristu alalanise kwaye abe utsalelwe ebumnyameni uze ubalalise ngokomoya.
AmaKristu amaninzi angabenyama kwaye ahamba ebumnyameni endaweni yokuba abe ngowomoya kwaye alandele uMoya ekukhanyeni. Kuba bahlala ebumnyameni, abawacalucaluli imimoya. Abacaluli okulungileyo nokubi kwaye (imisebenzi ye) uBukumkani bukaThixo kunye (imisebenzi ye) ubukumkani bukaMtyholi (Umhlaba).
Abayenzi thandazani ngokunyanisekileyo kwaye ulwe imfazwe yokomoya ngoba kutheni kwaye kufuneka bathandaze kwaye balwe? Ngokuchaseneyo balwa bani? Bakhetha ukucula iingoma zolonwabo kwaye beve iintshumayelo zokuziva wonwabile kunye nokuzinceda kwaye bonwabe.
AmaKristu amaninzi afuna ukuphila tofotofo, ubomi obulula ngaphandle kwazo zonke iintlobo zobunzima kwaye ngaphandle kwentshutshiso yabantu.
Vuka phezulu, AmaKristu, nilulahle uthando lobuxoki!
Vuka uye ebulungiseni, kunye nesono; kuba inxenye inentswela-kumazi uThixo: Nditsho ukuba nidane (1 KwabaseKorinte 15:34)
Kodwa lixesha lokuba amaKristu avuke! Lixesha lokuba amaKristu avule iBhayibhile (ILizwi likaThixo) uze umazi uThixo nentando yakhe. Lixesha lokuba bazimisele kwizinto zoBukumkani, ngokukhawuleza, yaye baguqe ngamadolo ukuze bathandaze kuThixo Osenyangweni; UMdali wamazulu nomhlaba, nayo yonke imikhosi yayo.
Uthando lobuxoki kunye nobabalo lobuxoki
Lixesha lokuba amehlo omoya amaKristu avulwe. Ukuze babone ukuba olu thando lobuxoki (uthando lwexesha elitsha lwehlabathi), abaluthelekisa nothando lukaYesu, asilulo uthando awahamba ngalo uYesu waza wabakhokelela enzonzobileni.
Uthando lobuxoki luthando olulalanisa nobumnyama kwaye lunyamezele isono nobugwenxa, ngelixa uthando lukaYesu lwalubhenca imisebenzi engendawo yobumnyama kwaye luyitshabalalise. Uthando lukaYesu lwabizela abantu enguqukweni nasekususweni kwesono.
Uthando lobuxoki alukhokeleli ezulwini kodwa esihogweni.
Umtyholi uzamile ukuhenda amakholwa kunye nabalandeli bakaYesu Krestu ngobuxoki bakhe aze abenze bangenzi nto kwaye bangasebenzi. Ngelishwa, abaninzi bakholwa nguMtyholi nobuxoki bakhe kwaye ngoku bahamba ebuxokini bakhe, ukunxibelelana nehlabathi, bevumela imisebenzi yobumnyama ebomini babo nasebandleni, becinga ukuba bakhonza yaye bayamkholisa uThixo, ngelixa bengekho.
Ukuthotywa kwesidima ecaweni
Kukho utshintsho oluqhubekayo kumazwe amaninzi. Utshintsho olusemthethweni kwaye luvumela izinto ebezikade zingavumelekanga. Amazwe amaninzi amshiyile uThixo neLizwi lakhe, endaweni yokusondela kuThixo ngeli xesha lesidingo. Okubuhlungu kukuba iicawa ezininzi ziye zalandela umzekelo wazo zaza zasibhangisa isono ngokusemthethweni.
Ibandla bekufanele ukuba liwagadile amasango ebandla lihlale lithembekile kuKristu kwaye liqhubeke lime phezu kweBhayibhile; ILizwi likaThixo, xa imiqondiso yokuqala yokuthotywa kwesidima yabonakala ehlabathini.
Kodwa endaweni yokuma kwiLizwi likaThixo xa imiqondiso yokuqala yokuthotywa yayibonakala, ibandla laphenjelelwa ngulo moya wehlabathi laza laphambuka nalo kwiLizwi likaThixo.
Icawe ivule umnyango wokuba ihlabathi lingene ebandleni. Ivangeli likaYesu Krestu liyaguqulwa libe yivangeli ejikeleza umntu endaweni kaKrestu. Kwaye isiqhamo sokutyeka kuThixo nakwiLizwi lakhe sibonakala ebomini babantu, kwindalo, nasebandleni. (Funda kwakhona: Kwenzeka ntoni xa isizwe siyamlibala uThixo?).
Abasemzini kunye nonqulo lwabo lobuhedeni neentanda-bulumko bamkelwa kumazwe nakwiicawa
Amazwe awayekade ekhonza uThixo aye avula iingcango zawo kunqulo lobuhedeni neentanda-bulumko. Endaweni yokushumayela ivangeli likaYesu Krestu namandla egazi lakhe kwabasemzini (abaphambukeli) kunye nokubaguqulela kubuKristu, abaphambukeli baye banempembelelo, cenga, kunye namaKristu aguqukileyo kunye nawo iimfundiso zobuxoki kunye nonqulo-zithixo.
Ihlabathi nobuhedeni bangcolise ibandla kwaye bawakhuphela kude amaKristu eNyaniso.
Kancinci, abasemzini bathatha amazwe ngelixa amaKristu elele kwaye ababoni ingozi yento eza kuza. Kuphela kungenxa yokuba amaKristu elala eluthandweni lobuxoki, ukwakha iibhlorho ngobukumkani bobumnyama nokuvumela nokwamkela izinto ezichasene nentando kaThixo.
Ngaba icawe ilala?
Icawe ilala eluthandweni lobuxoki. Ibandla laphulukana nombono kaKristu kunye nothumo olukhulu lokushumayela iindaba ezilungileyo zikaKristu ukusindisa imiphefumlo elahlekileyo kwaye ibathintele ekuyeni esihogweni.. Lo mbono kaKristu utshintshile kwimibono yabantu. Kwaye ngoku ivangeli yenyama yempumelelo iyashunyayelwa ukuze amaKrestu aphumelele ngakumbi, ubutyebi, ngempumelelo, kwaye unamandla emhlabeni.
Le vangeli yokuzingca, angazange ashumayele nangazange ayalele uYesu ukuba ashumayele, wenza intando, iinkanuko, nenkanuko yenyama, ayigcine indoda endala yenyama (Indalo yakudala) ephila.
Icawe iye yaba nokungakhathali kwisono kwaye ivumela isono nobubi ebandleni. Abantu basecaweni baphila kanye njengehlabathi. Kubonakala ngathi icawa ayifuni ukuvuka kwaye ihlambulule ubumdaka owenziwe ngabantu becawa.
Icawe ihambe ngendlela yayo kwaye iye bamnqumla intloko uYesu ebandleni; Umzimba wakhe. Iindwendwe zeCawa azifuni kumphulaphula kwaye azifuni ukugcina ilizwi lakhe kwaye zihambe ngokwemithetho yakhe.
Icawa yazenzela eyayo imigaqo nemimiselo yaza yawalungisa amazwi kaThixo ngokokuthanda kwawo. Ukuze amazwi kaThixo alungele indlela yabo yokuphila kwaye bahlale besona kwaye behamba kwintswela-bulungisa ngaphandle kokuziva benetyala okanye begwetyiwe..
Ngomlomo wabo, bavuma ukuba uYesu Kristu yiNkosi yabo, kodwa izenzo zabo ziyasikhanyela isivumo sabo.
Inyaniso kukuba amakholwa amaninzi akholelwa emhlabeni kwaye ngokwabo. Kuba bahamba ngokwezinto ezithethwa lihlabathi nangokwezinto abazicingayo nabazikholelwayo. Bahamba ngokwemithetho yabo kwaye intliziyo yabo ikude lee kuye.
Ukuba ngenene thanda uYesu UKrestu, bandule ke bamphulaphule, ndimthobele, kwaye ugcine imiyalelo yakhe. Babeza kuhamba ngendlela yaKhe, nangona iziphumo: amalungu ambalwa, Intshutshiso, ukwaliwa, ukuhla kwemali, njl.
Ihlabathi lihleli ebandleni
Icawe ivule umnyango wokuba ihlabathi lingene. Unokucinga, kakuhle oko akuyonto imbi kwaphela. Yinto entle ukuba abantu abangamaziyo uThixo beze ebandleni kwaye beve umyalezo wenyaniso, guqukani niguqukele kuKristu. Kodwa ngelishwa, ayisiyiyo indlela ehamba ngayo.
Uninzi lwabantu alubi ngamaKristu azelwe ngokutsha kwaye musani ukufa enyameni. Baye baba ziindwendwe zebandla kuphela baze bahlale benyama kwaye baqhubeke belandela inyama ezonweni nobugwenxa. Bahamba kanye njengehlabathi indalo endala (ukuhlala kwindawo ewileyo ebumnyameni).
Ihlabathi aliguqulelwanga kuKristu, kodwa ibandla liguqulelwe ehlabathini.
Kwaye ngoku usathana uthathe indawo yakhe ebandleni kwaye uye waba ngu intloko yomzimba wakhe.
Ngaba kukho umahluko phakathi kwehlabathi namaKrestu? AmaKristu aphila njengehlabathi yaye enza izinto ezifanayo nehlabathi. Bamkela yonke into, njengokuba ihlabathi lamkela yonke into.
Kodwa asifanele thina (AmaKristu) yahluke njengoko simamkele uYesu njengoMsindisi neNkosi yethu? Ngaba asifanele sihambe njengezidalwa ezitsha eluthandweni ngokuthobela uThixo sisenza intando yakhe, endaweni yokuhamba njengesidalwa esidala kwimvukelo nasekungamthobelini uThixo esonweni nakubugwenxa, ukwenza ukuthanda kwenyama?
Ukuba siye sakhululwa kumandla obumnyama, saza sahlukaniswa nehlabathi, akufanelanga ukuba siphile ekukhanyeni ngobulungisa, endaweni yokuthobela amandla obumnyama kwaye uphile njengehlabathi esonweni?
Njengoko sabhaptizelwayo kuKristu, Akufunekanga sizithobe ngokupheleleyo kuYesu Kristu, ngokuthanda kwakhe, nihambe ebungcweleni nasebulungiseni, nimthobela uThixo ngothando olunobulungisa? Endaweni yokulandela inyama kuthando lobuxoki?
Vumela ibandla liguquke kwaye lizinikele kuKristu
Masicele uxolo kuzo zonke iimpazamo esizenzileyo. Masicele ukuxolelwa kuzo zonke izono kunye nobugwenxa esibuvumele ukuba bangene emzimbeni kaKristu kwaye siwungcolise umzimba kaKristu..
Masizithobe kuKristu, ndimthobele, nize niyenze intando kaBawo. Masisuse zonke izono ebomini bethu kunye necawe kwaye sihambe ngokutsho kweBhayibhile ngobulungisa.
Masithandazele izizwe zethu, ukhuseleko, kwabo bakwindawo ephakamileyo, kwezopolitiko, ukuze uThixo abamisele abathe tye, abanike ubulumko. Yaye masibathandazele abazalwana noodadewethu mihla le. Ngokukodwa kwabo batshutshiswayo nababandezelekileyo ngenxa yeGama likaYesu Krestu.
Masivuke ngokomoya ebulungiseni, uze uvule iBhayibhile, kwaye sime kuYesu Kristu emazulwini. Masivuke kwaye sihlale siphaphile.
