KwabaseRoma 8:10, UPawulos wabhala, Ukuba uKristu ungaphakathi kwenu, umzimba ufile ngenxa yesono; kodwa uMoya ububomi ngenxa yobulungisa. Wayethetha ukuthini uPawulos ngaloo nto? Wazi njani ukuba uKrestu ukho kuwe? Ithini iBhayibhile ngoYesu Kristu kuwe?
UngokaKrestu nini?
Xa uthe waba sisidalwa esitsha kuYesu Krestu kwaye uMoya oyiNgcwele uhlala ngaphakathi kuwe, ningabakaKristu.
Ngokukholwa kuYesu Krestu nangokuzalwa ngokutsha kuye, Ube ngunyana kaThixo (oku kusebenza kuzo zombini iinkunzi nemazi). Inyama yenu yafa ngokumanywa noYesu Kristu, nomoya wenu owawufile uvuswe kwabafileyo ngamandla kaThixo waza waphila..
Ukuba inyama yenu ifile, ndawonye nesono sayo, kuthetha ukuba ifile yaye ayisaphili. Ngoko ke, xa uzalwa ngokutsha, anisayi kuphinda nilawulwe yinyama yenu elawula kuyo inyama.
Inyama ayinakumkholisa uThixo
Kuba ingqondo yenyama ibutshaba ngakuThixo: kuba ayixhomekeki emthethweni kaThixo, Akukho nto inokwenzeka. Ke ngoko abo basenyameni abanakumkholisa uThixo (AmaRoma 8:7-8)
Kuba isono silawula enyameni ngenxa yesimo esonakeleyo, inyama ayinako ukumkholisa uThixo. Inyama inesimo sikasathana kwaye iyamvukela uThixo kwaye ihlala ifuna ukwenza ezo zinto, ezichasene nentando kaThixo (Funda kwakhona: Idabi kunye nobuthathaka bendoda endala kwaye Ukuthanda kukaThixo ngokuchasene nentando kaMtyholi).
Yiyo loo nto uYesu kwafuneka eze emhlabeni, ukujongana nemvelo yesono ye (iwile) umntu okhoyo esenyameni.
UYesu weza emfanekisweni womntu, ukuze uYesu abe nguMmeli wakhe (iwile) uluntu (Funda kwakhona: UYesu wayengumntu ngokupheleleyo?’ kunye 'U-Yesu wayibuyisela imeko yendoda ewileyo).
Ukuba inyama yenu ibethelelwe emnqamlezweni kuKristu, ifile, aniyi kuphinda nihambe ngokwenyama, ekulawuleni isimo eso. Ngoko isono asiyi kuba salawula ebomini bakho.
Inyama yakho ifile; ke ngoko, anisayi kuba saphila ngokwenyama, nikhokelwa ziimpembelelo zehlabathi; ubukumkani bobumnyama obubangela ukuba inyama yakho yenze izinto, ezinxamnye nokuthanda kukaThixo kwaye zikwenza uhlale usona kwaye uzingise esonweni.
Indoda endala ikhokelwa yinyama kwaye ilawulwa bubukumkani bobumnyama
Phambi kwakho waguquka waba sisidalwa esitsha kuYesu Kristu, nakhokelwa yinyama yenu apho isono silawula kwaye silawulwa bubukumkani bobumnyama kunye nentando kasathana.
Ingqondo yakho (Iingcinga zakho), iimvakalelo, iimvakalelo, iimvakalelo, intando, Ke iinkanuko nenkanuko yenyama yakho bezilawula ebomini bakho, zakuyalela ukuba wenze ntoni na uze uzithobele. (Kwabase-Efese 2:1-7).
Kodwa ngoku, nithe naba sisidalwa esitsha, nenyama yenu yafa ngokumanywa noYesu Kristu, aniyi kuphinda nilawulwe yinyama yenu nilawulwe bubukumkani bobumnyama obubangela ukuba niqhubeke nisenza isono. Aniyi kuba sahamba njenge ikhoboka lenyama kwaye siphila kubukhoboka benyama nesono nokufa.
Wazi njani ukuba uYesu Krestu ukho kuwe?
Ke nina anikwinyama;, kodwa kuMoya, ukuba okunene uMoya kaThixo umi ngaphakathi kwenu. Ke ukuba umntu akanaye uMoya kaKristu, Akakho namnye owakhe. Kwaye ukuba uKristu ungaphakathi kwenu, umzimba ufile ngenxa yesono; kodwa uMoya ububomi ngenxa yobulungisa (AmaRoma 8:9-10)
Ngoko ke, bazalwana, singaba netyala, hayi enyameni, ukuphila ngokwenyama. 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 8:12-14)
Ukuba ngokuzalwa ngokutsha, UYesu Krestu ukuwe ngokuhlala koMoya oyiNgcwele kwaye uYesu Krestu uhleli ngaphakathi kuwe kwaye uhleli phezu kwetrone yobomi bakho., ke oku kuya kubonakala kwindlela ophila ngayo.
Aniyi kuba saphila phantsi kolawulo lwesono nokufa, Ngoko ke zingisani esonweni. Awusayi kuphinda wenze izinto ezichasene nentando kaThixo noYesu (Funda kwakhona: Imiyalelo kaThixo kunye nemiyalelo kaYesu).
Ngalo lonke ixesha uphila emva kwenyama ukungamthobeli uThixo wenze ezo zinto, ezingamkholisiyo uThixo kodwa zikholisa uMtyholi, ke oku kubonisa ukuba inyama isaphila kwaye iyalawula ebomini bakho kwaye akukho nto itshintshileyo.
Kodwa ukuba ngenene uye waba sisidalwa esitsha noYesu Kristu ukuwe, uya kuphila ngokokuthanda kukaThixo; intando yeLizwi. Uyakukhokelwa liLizwi kunye noMoya oyiNgcwele kwaye ke uya kuhamba emva koMoya ngokuthobela uThixo. UMoya uya kuba nobukhosi kwaye ulawule ebomini bakho.
Ngaba ukuxoka asiyonto imbi?
Oku kuthetha umzekelo, ukuba xa uncokola nomntu nangexesha laloo ncoko, ingcinga yobuxoki (okanye ubuxoki obumhlophe) ithi gqi engqondweni yakho, oko kukukhulula a.o. kuxanduva lwakho, ungenza izinto ezimbini.
Ungahamba emva kwenyama, ngokumamela le ngcamango, ephuma enyameni elawulwa bubukumkani bobumnyama kwaye iqinisekisa ukuba xa uqubuda kule ngcamango kwaye uthobela le ngcamango uya kuxoka kwaye ungathethi inyaniso kwaye wenze ukuthanda kukasathana.
Okanye unokuhamba emva koMoya, ngokuyithimba le ngcinga ngoYesu Kristu; ilizwi, Jonge phambili uku, uze ungangqini ubungqina obubuxoki ngommelwane wakho, ke uya kuthetha inyaniso, kwaye ulandele kwaye uthobele iLizwi, kwaye yala le ngcinga kwaye uthethe inyani, nangona iziphumo.
Kuba xa uthe waba ngunyana kaThixo, ungokaThixo, wamkela ubume bakhe, noYesu Kristu uhleli kuwe ngoMoya oyiNgcwele., wandule ukuthetha inyaniso, njengoYihlo.
Ngaba isono sikhokelela kubomi obungunaphakade?
Ngalo lonke ixesha niqhubeka nisenza imisebenzi yomntu omdala kwaye nihamba ngokwenyama, ezonweni nasebugwenxeni, ke oku kubonisa ukuba inyama yakho ayikho ebethelelwe emnqamlezweni kuYesu Kristu, kodwa eso sono, sisiqhamo sokufa, isalawula ebomini bakho.
Logama nje inyama isaphila, uya kuhlala ebukhobokeni kwaye ulawulwe yimvelo yesono yomntu owileyo kwaye ungokasathana. Imo yesono, okhoyo esenyameni, uya kulawula ebomini bakho, anigcine ebukhobokeni besono.
ILizwi lithi isono sikhokelela ekufeni kungekhona ebomini obungunaphakade. Ngoko ke, ayinamsebenzi indlela ophila ngayo emva kokuba uzelwe ngokutsha (Funda kwakhona: Xa ugciniwe uhlala ugciniwe?)
Ekuphela kwendlela yokuhlangulwa kulawulo lukasathana nakwimvelo yesono nokuxolelaniswa noThixo kungokholo kuYesu Krestu nokuzalwa ngokutsha kuye. (Funda kwakhona Aniyi kufa na ukuba nihlala nisona?).
Ngaba uMoya kaKristu uhlala ngaphakathi kwenu?
Nguwo lo umyalezo esiwuvileyo kuye, ndikuxelele, ukuba uThixo ukhanyisele, kwaye kuye akukho bumnyama kwaphela. Ukuba sithi sinobudlelane naye, kwaye uhambe ebumnyameni, siyaxoka, kwaye ayiyinyani: Kodwa ukuba sihamba ekukhanyeni, Njengoko ekukukhanya, Sinobudlelane omnye komnye, Kwaye iGazi likaYesu Kristu uNyana wakhe akasicoca siso sonke isono (1 UYohane 1:5-7)
Ke nina anikwinyama;, kodwa kuMoya, ukuba okunene uMoya kaThixo umi ngaphakathi kwenu. Ke ukuba umntu akanaye uMoya kaKristu, Akakho namnye owakhe (AmaRoma 8:9)
Kuba bonke abakhokelwa nguMoya kaThixo, bangoonyana bakaThixo bona (AmaRoma 8:14)
UMoya ngokwakhe ungqinelana nomoya wethu, ukuba singabantwana bakaThixo (AmaRoma 8:16)
Siyazi ukuba bonke abazelweyo nguThixo,; ke lowo uzelweyo nguThixo uyazigcina, Ongendawo akamchukumisi (1 UYohane 5:18)
ILizwi lithi, ukuba nimamkele uMoya kaKristu, ningabakaThixo. Ukuba ke anamamkelanga uMoya kaKristu, awungowaKhe.
Ukuba uYesu Kristu ungaphakathi kwenu, ngokuhlala koMoya oyiNgcwele, uya kwenza Mthande, Mamela, kwaye ugcine imiyalelo yakhe. Niya kumlandela ngokumthobela; Ilizwi kwaye uhambe emva koMoya ebulungiseni; Emva kwentando kaThixo.
Ukuba u landela uYesu nihambe ngokoMoya ngobulungisa, isono asiyi kuba salawula, singabi salawula njengokumkani ebomini bakho. Uze ungabi sahlala ebukhobokeni bukaNdikhoyo Umthetho wesono nokufa, olawula enyameni yexhego. Ke nina niya kuba ngookumkani kuKristu, ninegunya phezu kwesono nangoMoya, niya kuyibulala imisebenzi yenyama, nidle ubomi enkululekweni kaKristu.
