Asisekho phantsi komthetho, kodwa phantsi kobabalo, isetyenziswa ngamaKristu amaninzi ukuba azincame kumsebenzi wawo nakwiimbopheleleko zawo zokugcina imiyalelo kaYesu nokuzalisekisa uthumo olukhulu nokuhamba njengoonyana bakaThixo. (oku kusebenza kuzo zombini iinkunzi nemazi) ngokoMoya ebungcweleni ngokuthanda kukaThixo. Nje ukuba ujongane nomntu ngento echasene neLizwi kunye nentando kaThixo, unokuthembela kuyo, ukuba umntu uya kusebenzisa, phakathi kwabanye, AmaRoma 6:14 ukukumisa isono nokuvuma okubi. Maninzi amaKristu, abathi ububi bube kokulungileyo, baqhubeke besona phantsi kobabalo. Kodwa ithini iBhayibhile malunga nokuba phantsi kobabalo? Ngaba unokuqhubeka ukona phantsi kobabalo?
Ingaba ithetha ntoni, aniphantsi komthetho, niphantsi kobabalo?
Kuba isono asiyi kuniphatha ngabukhosi: kuba aniphantsi komthetho, kodwa phantsi kobabalo (AmaRoma 6:14)
Baninzi nabashumayeli, abasebenzisa amaRoma 6:14 ukuvuma, nyamezela kwaye wamkele yonke indlela yokuziphatha, iindlela zokuphila, nazo zonke izinto ezichasene neLizwi likaThixo nentando yakhe. Bayayisebenzisa, ukuze kungabikho mntu uguqukayo aze ahlale ngendlela ayiyo aze aphile njengehlabathi.
Ngokwabo, akukhathaliseki ukuba uhlala njani kwaye wenza ntoni, ngokuba niphantsi kobabalo. Ngoko ke, ixesha lemithetho, Imiyalelo, imigaqo, kwaye imimiselo iphelile. Ngoku ungaphila ngendlela ofuna ukuphila ngayo. Kungenxa yokuba uYesu uye wahlangabezana nengxaki yesono. Wazisusa zonke izono zehlabathi, ukuze ningabi sahamba esonweni. Isono asisekho, kwabo, abo bakholwayo kuye, bafuduswa ebumnyameni, basiwa ebukumkanini bukaThixo.
UYesu akajonganga kuphela zonke izono zobomi bakho bangaphambili, kukwakunye nezono, uhlala usenza kubomi bakho obutsha. Ngoko ke, akuyi kufuneka uvume izono zakho ngalo lonke ixesha, kuba oko kuya kubangela kuphela iimvakalelo zetyala kwaye ngokutsho kwabo, asiyiyo intando kaThixo leyo.
Sele kukho usizi kunye nomgwebo owaneleyo kwiicawe kunye nehlabathi kwaye yiyo loo nto amaKristu anokuhlala 'enkululekweni'., eluthandweni nobabalo lukaThixo, benza oko bafuna ukukwenza ngaphandle kokuthobela oko kubhalwe eBhayibhileni, kuba oko kungokwenkolo kunye nomthetho kwaye yeyakudala kwaye iphelelwe lixesha. (Funda kwakhona: Yintoni umahluko phakathi kwenkolo kunye nobudlelwane?).
Ngokushumayela lo myalezo, apho inyaniso kaThixo ixutywa nobuxoki babantu, bayabakholisa abantu, namkele imbeko nendumiso ebantwini, kwaye bazikhusele kwinkcaso nentshutshiso yehlabathi.
Kodwa sizifunda phi eBhayibhileni zonke ezi zinto bazithethayo? Ibhalwe phi, loo nto:
- Akusekho sono nokuba umntu akasenakukwazi ukona?
- Akuyi kufuneka utshintshe?
- Ayinamsebenzi nokuba uhlala njani?
- Isidalwa esitsha sivumelekile ukuba sihlale esonweni?
- UThixo uyasinyamezela kwaye uyasamkela isono?
Ukuba akunamsebenzi kuThixo ukuba uphila njani, kananjalo uThixo ukholekile ukuba abantwana bakhe baphile esonweni, kwakutheni ukuze uYesu eze emhlabeni ukuze ajongane nemeko yesono (iwile) indoda? Kutheni bengekho imibingelelo yezilwanyana kuhle ngokwaneleyo ukuba (okwethutyana) uxolelanise izono zabantu, ekubeni babeqhubeka bewela esonweni baze baqhubeke besona?
Ubizo lobungcwele kunye nokususwa kwezono
Kodwa njengoko kuxoxwe kwizithuba zebhlog zangaphambili, Ngokwegama, ayinamsebenzi indlela ophila ngayo kuMnqophiso oMtsha, elitywinwe ngegazi elinqabileyo likaYesu. Sifunda eBhayibhileni, ukuba uYesu nabapostile babiza amakholwa; abangcwele mababe ngcwele. Babayalela ukuba bazisuse izono ebomini babo. (Funda kwakhona: ‘Ulahlekile kulwandle lwenceba', ‘Yintoni ubabalo?'Kwaye'Yintoni umahluko phakathi komthetho nobabalo?')
Kuba oko kwenzeka kummandla womoya, oko kukuthi, baye baba kuYesu Krestu a indalo entsha nokuba babekhululwe enyameni yabo, ekukho kuyo inyama, kwafuneka zibonakale kummandla wendalo, nge ukukhupha ixhego (inyama) kwaye ukwambatha umntu omtsha (umoya).
Ezo, abasebenzisa, phakathi kwabanye, AmaRoma 6:14 ukuvuma, nyamezela kwaye wamkele yonke indlela yokuziphatha nazo zonke izinto, ezinxamnye nokuthanda kukaThixo nokuhlala uphila ngokwenyama, ngokufuthi uyalibala ukufunda nokufunda izibhalo ngendlela efanelekileyo. Abakho ngokomoya kwaye bazenzele ezabo iingcamango, iziphumo, kunye nezimvo, oko kwenziwa ikakhulu lulwazi nobulumko behlabathi. Ukuze baxhobise kwaye baqinisekise izimvo zabo, izimvo, kunye neziphumo, bakhetha kwaye bakhethe izibhalo kwaye bazikhuphe kumongo wabo. Oko kuyasebenza nakumaRoma 6:14, ngenxa yokuba iivesi ezibhaliweyo ngaphambi nasemva kweendinyana 14, azixoxwa. Ngoko ke, makhe sijonge ukuba yeyiphi imeko amaRoma 6:14 kubhaliwe kwaye yintoni enye ebhaliweyo eBhayibhileni malunga nobabalo lukaThixo, kwaye ukuba kuvunyelwe ukuhlala behlala esonweni emva kokuba umntu ezelwe ngokutsha.
Ukufa esonweni, kodwa ubudlile ubomi kuThixo ngoYesu Kristu
Siza kuthini emva koko? Siza kuqhubeka esonweni, Olo lubabalo lwaluphele? Makube lee oko. Saya kuthi, abafileyo kwisono, phila nangakumbi? Anazi na, ukuba thina sonke, esabhaptizelwayo kuKristu Yesu, sabhaptizelwa ekufeni kwakhe? Ngoko ke sangcwatywa naye ngokubhaptizelwa ekufeni: ukuze njengokuba uKristu wavuswayo kwabafileyo ngalo uzuko loYise, Ngokunjalo nathi sifanele sihambe sinobomi obutsha.
Kuba xa sityalwe ndawonye ekufeni kwakhe, nathi siya kuba kwanjengemifuziselo yovuko lwakhe: Ukwazi oku, ukuba indoda yethu ithe yabethelelwa naye, ukuze umzimba wesono uphuthiswe, ukuze singabi sasikhonza isono. kuba owafayo ugwetyelwe, wakhululwa kuso isono. Ukuba ke sifile kunye noKrestu, siyakholwa ukuba sodla ubomi kwandawonye naye: sisazi ukuba uKristu, evusiwe nje kwabafileyo, akabi safa; ukufa akusayi kuba nagunya kuye. Kuba wafa ngako oko, wafela isono kwaba kanye: udla ubomi ngokudla ubomi, 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. (AmaRoma 6:1-14)
UYesu usibonisile, Intoni isono yenza ngobomi bomntu: isono sikhokelela ekufeni. Ngomsebenzi wakhe ogqibeleleyo wokuhlangula, UYesu wafa kwaba kanye esonweni, wavuswa kwabafileyo, ehleli ngasekunene kukaThixo ngonaphakade. Ngomsebenzi Wakhe negazi Lakhe, UYesu weza nentlawulelo kwabo, abakholwayo kuye, guqukani, bancame obabo ubomi kwaye Mlandeleni.
Nge ukuzalwa ngokutsha, ubhaptizelwe kuKristu ekufeni kwakhe kwaye yiyo loo nto, ungu, njengaYe, kube kanye, wafa kwisono.
Isono, obelawula elawula enyameni yenu; imvelo yesono yomntu omdala wenyama, obotshelelwe kuwo umthetho, ayisekho emva kokuba uzelwe ngokutsha. Ngokuba indoda endala (inyama), isono nokufa zinolawulo kuye kwaye umthetho wesono nokufa wawumiselwe ngabo, ebethelelwe emnqamlezweni, wafa ekuKristu.
Ukuba inyama yakho ifile, aninako ukuhamba ngokwenkanuko yenyama, nihlale esonweni niqhubeke nisona. Kuphela kuxa inyama yakho ifile, kodwa ke nithe nafela isono namandla aso.
Xa wabhaptizwayo kuKristu, wawungeyonxalenye yokufa kwaKhe kuphela, kodwa nawe wawunesabelo eluvukweni lwakhe. Ngamandla oMoya oyiNgcwele, umoya wakho uvusiwe kwabafileyo, udliswa ubomi kuThixo. Uye waba a indalo entsha; Ungunyana kaThixo kwaye unikwe ukungena ebukumkanini bukaThixo kwaye baxolelaniswa naye.
Kuba uThixo ulilungisa, kwaye nizelwe nguye (ngokuvuselela kwakhona) uya kumthobela, uhambe ngobulungisa ngokoMoya. Ngalo lonke ixesha uhlala kuYesu Kristu; iLizwi uze uphile emva koko UYesu’ Imiyalelo, ekwayimithetho kaThixo, nize nilandele umoya, uya kuhamba ngobulungisa kwaye uthwale isiqhamo soMoya (1 UYohane 2:28-29, 1 UYohane 3:1-7, 9).
Abakhonzi besono okanye abakhonzi bobulungisa?
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? Kodwa uThixo makabulelwe, ukuba beningabakhonzi besono, kodwa nalululamela ngokwentliziyo umfuziselo wemfundiso enanikelwayo kuwo. Ukukhululwa ke esonweni, naba ngabakhonzi bobulungisa. Ndithetha ngokwabantu ngenxa yobulwelwe benyama yenu: kuba, njengoko nawanikelayo amalungu enu ukuba abe ngabakhonzi bako ukungcola nokuchasa umthetho, ukuba nichase umthetho; ngokunjalo ke ngoku, wanikeleni amalungu enu ukuba abe ngabakhonzi kubo ubulungisa, ukuba ningcwaliseke.
Kuba xa ningabakhonzi besono, Benikhululekile ebulungiseni. Nasiphi isiqhamo enisukuni na ngelo xesha kwezo zinto nineentloni ngazo ngoku? Ukuphela kwezinto kukufa. Kodwa ngoku ukhululwa esonweni, kwaye ube zizicaka kuThixo, Ninesiqhamo sakho kubungcwele, kunye nokuphelisa ubomi obungunaphakade. Kuba umvuzo wesono kukufa; Kodwa isipho sikaThixo bubomi obungunaphakade ngoYesu Krestu iNkosi yethu (AmaRoma 6:15-23)
Ukuba umntu uthi uzelwe ngokutsha, kodwa qhubekani niphila ngokweenkanuko zenyama nize nifeze iinkanuko zenyama, yaye ke ngoko qhubekani niphila esonweni yaye akavumi ukubasusa, ke oku kungqina ukuba inyama yomntu ayibethelelwanga emnqamlezweni kuKristu, kodwa uyaphila kwaye uyakhaba.
Logama nje inyama isaphila kwaye ikhaba, inyama ayifanga kwaye ke umntu akakhululwanga enyameni kwaye usengumoni. Ngenxa yokuba a umoni, uhamba emva kwenyama, ukufeza inkanuko yenyama, nihlale nisona.
Ngalo lonke ixesha umntu ehlala enyameni kwaye ehamba emva kwenyama kwaye azingise esonweni, ke umntu usabophelelekile Umthetho wesono nokufa. Imisebenzi yomntu; isono, mbonise ukuba loo mntu ungumoni; unyana womtyholi kwaye ungowobukumkani bobumnyama (1 UYohane 3:7-8). Ngenxa yesono, ephuma kwimvelo yesono yenyama, apho kulawula isono nokufa, usenobukhosi emntwini kwaye usalawula njengokumkani kubomi bomntu.
Kuba isiqhamo sokufa sisono, kwaye umntu akakhululwa ngentlawulelo, kananjalo akakhululwa ekufeni.
Ukusebenzisa ubabalo lukaThixo ukuzalisekisa iminqweno yenyama kunye neminqweno
Kuba kuthwethwe ngabantu abathile;, ababebamiselwe ngenxa engaphambili kolo lugwebo, abantu abangahloneli Thixo, belujikela eburheletyweni ubabalo lukaThixo wethu, bemkhanyela okuphela koMnini-nto-zonke, uThixo, kunye neNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu (Yude 1:4)
Ayisiyonto abashumayeli kunye neenkokeli zecawe ezishumayelayo nezifundisayo, kwaye luhlobo luni lwezityhilelo zomoya, imibono, amaphupha, iziprofeto okanye izigidimi ezifunyanwa ziingelosi, kodwa konke oko likutshoyo iLizwi likaThixo, ngokuba ilizwi liyinyaniso, liyiyo ethembekileyo kwaye ekugqibeleni uya kugweba wonke umntu, ngokwemisebenzi yabo (UYohane 12:48, ISityhilelo 20:12-13).
Abashumayeli, abapostile, IVangeli, ootitshala, kwaye abaprofeti banokutsho, ukuba lubabalo lonke kwaye akuyi kufuneka utshintshe kuba akukhathaliseki ukuba uphila njani kwaye wenza ntoni.
Basenokusebenzisa ubabalo ukuze bahlale bephila ngokwenyama, befeza iinkanuko nenkanuko yenyama, balujikela ke ubabalo lukaThixo lube ngamanyala. Kodwa, ngokulivakalisa elo lizwi khanyela iNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu kwaye ngqina, ukuba abamazi namava. Kuba iLizwi likaThixo lithetha enye into.
Ngelishwa, ngenxa yokuba amakholwa amaninzi akalifundi kwaye alifundisise ngokwalo iLizwi likaThixo kwaye akanalo unxulumano lobuqu neLizwi.; UYesu Kristu yaye ngenxa yoko akanalo ulwazi lweLizwi likaThixo, bayawakholelwa amazwi ezi nkokeli.
Kodwa igama litsho, ukuba ngalo lonke ixesha umntu ehlala esonweni kwaye enyamezele esonweni, ke umntu akasindiswanga kwaye akakhululwanga enyameni. Kuba ngalo lonke ixesha umntu eqhubeka ephila esonweni, olawula enyameni, aze ke umntu akhululwe koko asindiswe kuko? Ukuba basindiswa ekufeni, bangabi savelisa isiqhamo esisa ekufeni (o.k. AmaRoma 6, AmaRoma 7:4-6, AmaRoma 8, kwabaseGalati 5:24, Kwabase-Efese 2:1-6).
Ngalo lonke ixesha umntu ezingisa esonweni aze ngenxa yoko athwale isiqhamo esisa ekufeni, umntu akaguqukanga, akazalwa ngokutsha, kwaye akabanga ngunyana kaThixo, kodwa use a UMDALA WAMDE kunye nenyama, apho kulawula isono nokufa (1 UYohane 3:7-10)
Nibacalula njani na ke oonyana bakaThixo koonyana bakaMtyholi??
Kaloku umntu likhoboka, lowo ungowakhe lowo umntu amphulaphulayo, amthobele. Umntu uphila ngokwenyama ebukumkanini bobumnyama phantsi kolawulo nolawulo lukasathana kwaye, ke ngoko, ndilikhoboka lesono esisingisa ekufeni, okanye umntu uphila ngokomoya eBukumkanini bukaThixo phantsi kolawulo nolawulo lukaYesu Kristu yaye ulikhoboka lobulungisa ukusa ebomini.. Kuba igama litsho, ukuba ezo, abenza ubulungisa, bangamalungisa, njengokuba yena elilungisa.
Bantwana abancinci, Makungabikho mntu ukhathalelayo: Owenza ubulungisa ulilungisa, njengokuba elungile. Lowo wenza isono nguMtyholi; Kuba uMtyholi wonile kwasekuqalekeni. Ngenxa yoku Unyana kaThixo wabonakaliswa, ukuze ayonakalise imisebenzi kaMtyholi. Bonke abo bazelwe nguThixo abayi kwenza isono,; kuba imbewu yakhe ihleli kuye: kwaye akanakona, ngokuba ezelwe nguThixo. Kule ndlela abantwana bakaThixo bayabonakala, kunye nabantwana bakaMtyholi: Athi ke engabenzi ubulungisa, akangoThixo, Lowo ungamthandiyo umzalwana wakhe (Le nxalenye yokugqibela iphathelele ukuthanda umzalwana wakho, akuthethi ukwamkela izono zomzalwana wakho. Funda kwakhona 'Ukuhamba eluthandweni' kwaye ‘Yintoni uthando lobuxoki?’ (1 UYohane 3:7-10))
Kobu bomi basemhlabeni, kukho iinketho ezimbini: unokuba ngunyana kaThixo okanye unyana womtyholi. Awukwazi ukuba zombini. Izenzo zakho kunye nemisebenzi yakho iyangqina, ungunyana kabani na, ungokabani na?.
Ungatsho, ukuba uyakholwa, nokuba ungunyana kaThixo, kodwa ukuba niyona, nizenza ngabom, Iyahamba ngokuchasene nentando kaThixo, kwaye awufuni ukuzithoba kwiLizwi, kodwa ufuna ukuhlala ungumhlobo wehlabathi kwaye uvumele imisebenzi yakhe engendawo, ngoko akungonyana kaThixo, nokuba uthi unguye.
Kuba igama litsho, ukuba ungunyana kaMtyholi, ohamba ngokuthanda kukaMtyholi, eyifeze imisebenzi kaMtyholi, esisisono.
Kuba isono sisichasi sobulungisa kunye nezo, abo bangabenzi bulungisa abangabakaThixo. Wonke umntu, ohlala kuKristu akenzi ukona. ILizwi lithi, ukuba wonke umntu, abaqhele ukona, akazange ambone uYesu, kananjalo akazanga amava.
Bonke abasenzayo isono bagqitha umthetho;: Kuba isono kukunxaxha komthetho. Kwaye niyazi ukuba ubonakalisiwe ukuba azisuse izono zethu; kwaye kuye akukho sono kuye. Bonke abahlala kuye aboni: Bonke aboni abangambonanga, Ayamazi. (1 UYohane 3:4-6)
Ukuphila njengexhego
Maninzi amakholwa, abacinga kwaye bathi bazelwe ngokutsha kwaye basemoyeni, ngokuba bahamba kumandla angaphezu kwendalo, kodwa qhubekani niphila njengomntu omdala wenyama esonweni. Kodwa akunyanzelekanga ukuba uzalwe ngokutsha ukuze uhambe kumandla angaphezu kwawemvelo, kwaye ufumane imibono, izityhilelo, ukuprofeta, nokwenza imiqondiso nemimangaliso (Funda kwakhona: ‘Iindlela ezimbini zokungena kummandla womoya’)
Kunjalo ngoba, UYesu wabalumkisa abalandeli bakhe, ukuba ekupheleni kwamaxesha, ezininzi UChrists ubuxoki (abalandeli bakaYesu) kwaye abaprofeti bobuxoki uya kuza, abo benza imiqondiso emikhulu nezimanga (o.k. UMateyu 24:11, 24-28). Kodwa nokuba umntu wenza imimangaliso emininzi aze afumane izityhilelo ezininzi ezingaphaya kwendalo kunye neziprofeto, ke ezi zinto azingqini ukuba loo mntu ungunyana kaThixo kwaye ungokaKrestu. Kuphela ngemisebenzi, ukuba umntu wenza, kwaye umntu uyasithwala isiqhamo (oku akuthethi ukuba imisebenzi yesisa, ilizwe lenza ngokunjalo, kodwa imisebenzi yobulungisa neyobulungisa isiqhamo soMoya), uyakwazi ukubona ukuba umntu ngokaYesu okanye ngokasathana.
Idluliselwe ebumnyameni ukuya elukhanyisweni
Ukuba nithe nafuduswa ebumnyameni, nasiwa ekukhanyeni, ukusuka ekufeni ukuya ebomini, Emva koko aya kuvulwa amehlo akho omoya kwaye uya kububona ububi besono namandla okufa kwaye ungafuni ukuba nenxaxheba kuwo.. Kodwa lo gama uqhubeka uhamba ebumnyameni, kwaye uhlale ubotshelelwe kukufa, ngokuhamba emva kwenyama, uya kuhlala uyimfama ngokomoya kwaye ungabuboni ububi besono namandla okufa. Ngoko ke hlalani niphila esonweni, nisicamagushele isono;.
Logama nje ibandla lingasithathi isono njengento embi nanjengembi, kodwa isono usijonga njengesiqhelo kwaye njengento nje eyinxalenye yobomi, ke oku kungqina ukuba kukho undonakele ebandleni, ukholo, neendaba ezilungileyo ezi zishunyayelwayo. Ngokuba iindaba ezilungileyo, ezo abazishumayelayo asizizo iindaba ezilungileyo zikaYesu Kristu, leyo ubizela enguqukweni umntu luzisa usindiso, luvelise ubomi, kodwa yivangeli yomntu, likhoboka lesono, livelisa ukufa.
Kwenzeka ntoni ukuba uqhubeka ukona ngabom?
Kuba, xa sithe sone ngabomi, emveni kokuba sakwamkelayo ukwazi inyaniso, akusasele dini ngenxa yezono, Kodwa umntu owoyikayo owoyikayo ngomgwebo kunye nomsindo womlilo, Ize idle abachasi (IsiHebhere 10:26-27)
Awukwazi ukusebenzisa i ubabalo lukaThixo ukuze niphile ngokwenyama, Ukufezekisa iinkanuko kunye neminqweno yenyama yakho. Ubabalo lukaThixo aluyomvume yokuqhubeka usenza isono. ILizwi lithi, ukuba emva kokuba nithe nalwamkela ulwazi lwenyaniso, kodwa wona ngabom, ukuze kungabikho mbingelelo wezono useleyo, ke silinde umgwebo owoyikekayo
Olawula njengokumkani ebomini bakho?
Ngaphezulu komthetho, ukuba ityala lingaphezulu. Kodwa apho isozi sibanzi, UGrace wenza okungaphezulu: Njengoko isono siye salawula ekufeni, Ngokunjalo noBalise lulawula ngobulungisa kuYesu Krestu iNkosi yethu (AmaRoma 5:20-21)
UYesu weza kulo mhlaba ukuze asebenze, kube kanye, kunye nemvelo yesono yomntu owileyo. UYesu wayitshabalalisa imisebenzi kaMtyholi, ukuze wonke umntu, abakholwayo kuye, iinguqu, aze azalwe ngokutsha, akayi kuphinda abe likhoboka lenyama, apho uMtyholi elawula ngesono nokufa. Umntu omtsha uhlangulwe kwaye wathengwa ngegazi likaYesu kwaye akasenguye umtyholi kwaye ke umntu akasayi kuphinda enze imisebenzi yenyama kwaye athwale isiqhamo ekufeni ngokuphila esonweni. (AmaRoma 7:5-6), kodwa baya kwenza imisebenzi yobulungisa, bamvelisele uThixo isiqhamo esisa ebomini.
I umntu omtsha ufumene lonke igunya namandla onke kuYesu Kristu ngoMoya oyiNgcwele, ukwazi Intando kaThixo nixhathise izilingo zikaMtyholi, neminqweno yenyama. Ngalo lonke ixesha uhlala kuye kwaye uqhubeke uhamba emva koMoya, uya kuba nako ukuxhathisa zonke izilingo zikasathana kwaye ke ngoko ube ngumeyisi wesono nokufa. Hayi ngamandla akho nangamandla akho, nto leyo ethetha ukuba ingekuko ngamandla nobuchule benyama ngokusebenzisa zonke iintlobo zobuchule neendlela zobuntu benyama, kodwa ngamandla eLizwi noMoya oyiNgcwele.
ILizwi lithi, ukuba niphantsi kobabalo, aninako ukuqhubeka nisona, ngokuba uya kwenza imisebenzi yobulungisa. Ukuba ugcina ukona, ngoko aniphantsi kobabalo. Kaloku isono sinobukhosi ebomini bakho, Endaweni yobulungisa kulawula njengokumkani.
Ukuba wenza imisebenzi yobulungisa, ke ubabalo luya kulawula ebomini bakho, lulawule njengokumkani, noba phantsi kobabalo.
‘Yibani yityuwa yehlabathi’
