KuMateyu 24:12-13, Wathi uYesu, ukuze ngaphambi kokubuya kwakhe ngemihla yokugqibela luphole uthando lwabaninzi. Esona sizathu sibalulekileyo sokuba luphole uthando lwabaninzi kukuba ububi buya kwanda. Oku kunjalo kanye, into esiyibonayo kwihlabathi lethu namhlanje, ukwanda kobugwenxa.
Buthetha ntoni na ubugwenxa??
Ubugwenxa buguqulelwe kwigama lesiGrike ‘umntu‘ (G458 (kwaye ivela kwi-G459)) kwaye kuthetha: semthethweni, yiyo i, ukwaphulwa komthetho okanye (ngokubanzi) ubungendawo: – ubugwenxa, X ugqithiso (-ioni ye) umthetho, intswela-bulungisa
Ukuba asiwugcini uMthetho woMoya wobomi; ukuba asiwathobeli amazwi kunye Imiyalelo kaYesu Krestu kodwa endaweni yoko senze into esifuna ukuyenza kwaye sihambe emva kwentando, iinkanuko nenkanuko yenyama uthando lwethu luya kubanda.
Siyabona ukuba amazwi kaYesu malunga nothando oluya kubanda, ziyazaliseka kule mihla.
Ukuwohloka kokuziphatha
Xa sijonga ihlabathi, sibona utshintsho kwindlela yokuziphatha nakwimilo yabantu. Uninzi lwabantu luzingcayo kwaye luziphilela kwaye lungenzi”ukungayikhathaleli impilo-ntle yabanye abantu. Abazolanga, unomonde nentlonipho, kunye nokuzithoba kumagunya, kodwa ucaphuka msinya kwaye unomsindo kwaye akanambeko, nabagwilikayo, nabangabathobeliyo amagunya.
Kwiintsapho ezininzi, sibona abantwana abanemvukelo, abangabathandiyo nabangabahloniphiyo abazali babo nabangafuni ukuzithoba kubo, kodwa bayabachasa abazali babo babavukele.
Siyabona ukuba abazali bagxile kwiziqu zabo nakwimisebenzi yabo nakulonwabo lwabo, endaweni yokuba ngenene kukho amaqabane abo kunye nabantwana kunye nokukhulisa abantwana babo ngothando kunye ukoyika uYehova
Sibona amalungu osapho angakhathaliyo kwaye ajongane. Kukho iinketho, kodwa kwiintsapho ezininzi, siyabona ukuba uthando luya kubanda. Ngokukhawuleza xa umntu esenza into, ezichasene nentando yomnye umntu, umntu uyacaphuka aze abe nomsindo.
Abantu benza unothanda, endaweni yokuncama intando yabo, iinkanuko zabo, iminqweno yabo, kunye neemfuno zabo komnye umntu.
Wonke umntu uxakekile, besenza ezabo izinto. Akukho bantu baninzi, abakhonza abanye. Abanye basenokucinga ukuba bakhonza abanye, kodwa xa ujongisisa, uya kufumanisa ukuba bakhonza abanye kuphela ngenxa yenzuzo yabo kwaye bazive belungile ngeziqu zabo.
Kodwa ngubani ozimisele ukuncama ubomi bakhe, ukukhonza uYesu nokusebenzela abanye?
Kwaye ngenxa yokuba ubugwenxa buya kubanda, luya kuphola uthando lwabaninzi. Ke lowo unyamezele kwada kwaba sekupheleni, nabo baya kusindiswa (UMateyu 24:12-13)
Ubugwenxa bungena njani kubomi bamaKristu?
Nasebandleni ubugwenxa buninzi ebomini babantu, abazibiza ngokuba bangamaKristu. Ubugwenxa bunokungena kubomi bamaKristu nge:
- Iimfundiso zobuxoki ezifundisayo, umzekelo, ubabalo lobuxoki kwaye kulungile ukona, ukuze nenze nantoni na enisukuba niyithanda, kuba anisephantsi komthetho, niphantsi kobabalo (AmaRoma 6:15).
- Umoya wehlabathi
- Ifilosofi yobomi, nto leyo emele inkululeko yomntu ngamnye (umoya okhululekileyo)
Inkqubo yokungcwaliswa
Ecaweni yanamhlanje, kukho ukunqongophala komnqweno phakathi kwamaKristu wokuba aguqulwe abe ngumfanekiso kaKristu ahambe ebungcweleni nasebulungiseni ngokwelizwi likaThixo..
Kwiicawa ezininzi isono siyanyamezeleka kwaye yamkelwa. Isono asisajongwa njengesibi kodwa isono sigqalwa njengesiqhelo kwaye siyinxalenye yobomi.
Amagama athi ‘uthando lukaThixo’ kunye ‘nobabalo lukaThixo’ zisetyenziselwa ukwenza isono sivunywe.
Ngenxa yoko, amaKristu amaninzi aphila esonweni yaye abanxaxhayo uMthetho woMoya wobomi. Bahleli ebumnyameni endaweni yokukhanya yaye baziimfama ngokomoya.
Xa sijonga eBhayibhileni size sijonge oko uThixo akutshoyo ngothando, sinokugqiba ekubeni siyiqhubele kude inyaniso.
Inkcazo yothando lukaThixo yahluke kakhulu kunengcaciso yethu yothando.
Xa sisithi izinto ezimbi zilungile kwaye zilungile ukuzenza nokuzamkela, ngelixa uThixo esithi bangendawo kwaye abalungile kwaye bayayichasa intando yakhe, ke uthando lukaThixo alukho ebomini bethu.
Ukuba asimthobeli uThixo kwaye singahambi ngokweLizwi lakhe, size ke sihambe ebugwenxeni nasesonweni. Xa sihamba ebugwenxeni nasesonweni, asingobakhe kwaye asimazi kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo asihambi eluthandweni, njengoko abantu abaninzi bekholelwa ukuba kunjalo.
Luyintoni uthando lokwenyani?
Uthando lokwenene kukuthobela uThixo nokugcina imiyalelo yakhe, kuba umthanda uThixo ngentliziyo yakho iphela, umphefumlo, ingqondo, kunye namandla. Xa uthobela amazwi aKhe kwaye ugcine imiyalelo Yakhe kwaye wenze oko akuthethayo, uyamkholisa uThixo kwaye ubonise ukuba uyamthanda ngemisebenzi yakho.
AmaKristu amaninzi athi, ukuba amazwi kaThixo, imiyalelo noMthetho ziphelelwe lixesha kwaye azisasebenzi kwaye azisasebenzi. Kodwa abantu abathetha oku amaKristu obuxoki. Abazalwanga nguThixo kwaye asingabo abakaThixo kwaye abamazi kwaphela.
Abalunganga, Kuba iBhayibhile ithi, ukuba uThixo uyafana, izolo, namhlanje, kwaye ngonaphakade. Ngoko ke intando kaThixo ayisoze itshintshe. Yiyo loo nto uThixo ethembekile kwaye sinokuthembela kuThixo nakwiLizwi lakhe. Imithetho kaThixo kunye nenxalenye yokuziphatha yomthetho, ephuma kwindalo yakhe kwaye ityhila intando yaKhe, zisasebenza.
Asigcinwanga ngemisebenzi yethu, sisindisiwe ngegazi elinqabileyo likaYesu Krestu. Kodwa nje ukuba sibe ngoonyana bakaThixo (oku kusebenza kuzo zombini iinkunzi nemazi) ngokholo nokuzalwa ngokutsha kuKristu, asiyi kuba sadla ubomi ngokwenyama, kodwa emva komoya.
Siyakuhamba eluthandweni kwaye sithobele uBawo kwaye sigcine imiyalelo Yakhe kwaye senze intando yaKhe.
Njengoonyana bakaThixo, sihamba ebulungiseni, simkholisa uBawo, endaweni yokuba sihambe esonweni sizikholise thina notata wethu wangaphambili usathana (uyise womntu owileyo)..
Kodwa kutheni, ukuba amaxesha amaninzi, senza konke okusemandleni ethu ukukholisa abantu kwaye sizizuzele abantu kwaye samkelwe ngabantu? Kuba soyika ukwaliwa. Siyoyika ukuphulukana nabo okanye ukuba abayi kusithandi.
Kulungile, kungcono ukuphulukana nomntu, kunokulahlekelwa nguThixo nenkoliseko yakhe. Kungcono ukwaliwa ngabahlobo, amalungu osapho, oogxa, abazanayo, njl. kunokuba akhanyelwe nguYesu Kristu.
Sifanele simthande uThixo wethu, ngentliziyo yethu yonke, ingqondo, umphefumlo, kunye namandla, ngaphezu kwayo yonke into kunye nabo bonke abanye. Nguwo lowokuqala umthetho, esinikelwe nguThixo noYesu.
Ukushiya imiyalelo kaThixo
Ukuba asithobeli kwaye sigcina imiyalelo Yakhe, siya kuhamba ebugwenxeni nasesonweni. Xa sihamba emva kwenyama ebugwenxeni nasesonweni, sibonisa ukuba asimthandi uThixo. Unokuthi uyamthanda uThixo, kodwa izenzo zakho zigqithisela amazwi. Izenzo zakho ziya kungqina ukuba umthanda ngokwenene na uThixo okanye akunjalo.
Ukuba awumthandi uThixo, awukwazi ukumthanda ummelwane wakho, ngokuba uthando lwenene lukaThixo alukho ebomini bakho.
Yiyo loo nto uthando lwabaninzi luya kuphola. Kuba abantu abaninzi bamshiya uThixo kwaye bashiya amazwi akhe amd imiyalelo.
Benza oko kukholekileyo kubo, behamba ngokokuthanda kwabo, iinkanuko, kunye neminqweno endaweni yemithetho kaThixo.
UYesu uthi: Lowo unemithetho yam, kwaye ubagcine, Nguye lo uyandithanda: Kwaye lowo undithandayo uyathandwa nguBawo, kwaye ndiza kumthanda, kwaye uya kuzibonakalisa kuye (UYohane 14:21)
Ukuba niyayigcina imithetho yam, hlalani eluthandweni lwam; njengokuba mna ndayigcinayo imithetho kaBawo, nihlale eluthandweni lwakhe (UYohane 15:10)
Ngalo lonke ixesha uyigcina imiyalelo Yakhe, uya kuhlala eluthandweni lwakhe. Xa sijonga imiyalelo kaThixo nemiyalelo kaYesu, siyabona ukuba imiyalelo kaYesu iyafana nemithetho kaThixo, kuba uYesu wenza ukuthanda kukaYise emhlabeni. Njengokuba ngenyaniso, UYesu wade wasinika imiyalelo engakumbi waza wayilola imiyalelo kaThixo.
Xa sijonga ubomi bukaYesu, siyabona ukuba uYesu wayefuna into enye kuphela ibe kukwenza ukuthanda kukaYise. UYesu wazinikela ngokupheleleyo waza wazinikela kunye nentando yakhe kwintando kaYise.
Ukuba sifuna ukulandela uYesu, kufuneka silandele umzekelo waKhe. Kufuneka senze okufanayo kwaye sibethelele intando yethu kwaye sizinikele kwaye sizithobe kuYe. Sifanele sizibuze: ufuna ndithini uYesu? Ngaba ndiphila kwintando yaKhe? Ngaba ngenene ndihamba ngemithetho yakhe?
Ukugcina imiyalelo kaThixo
Xa sihamba kwimithetho yakhe, siya kuhlala kwaye sihambe eluthandweni lwakhe. Xa sihlala kwaye sihamba eluthandweni lwakhe, ngoko ke siya kuthwala isiqhamo sothando.
Siya kuba nokuzeka kade umsindo,siya kuba nobubele, asiyi kubamonela, asiyi kuqhayisa, ungakhukhumali, musani ukwenza okuziintloni, singazifuneli thina, musa ukucaphuka, musani ukucinga okubi, asiyi kuvuya bugwenxa; sivuyisana nenyaniso.
Siya kuthwala zonke izinto, siya kukholwa zizinto zonke, siya kulindela izinto zonke, siya kunyamezela zonke izinto kwaye siya kugcina imiyalelo kaYesu.
Xa singayigcini imiyalelo Yakhe, asiyi kuligcina elakhe (ngokomoya) Ngoko ke siya kuhamba ngokuchasene nomthetho (ubugwenxa) nesono.
Bonke abasenzayo isono bagqitha umthetho;: Kuba isono kukunxaxha komthetho
1 UYohane 3:4
Ngemihla yokugqibela, luya kuphola uthando lwabaninzi
Ukuba asiyigcini imithetho yakhe, siyona. Khumbula, oko sikuhlwayelayo sisenyameni, sovuna kwasenyameni, uthando ke alusiso isiqhamo senyama. Ukuba ke sihlala singabenyama, sihamba ngokwenyama;, uthando lukaThixo aluyi kubakho ebomini bethu kwaye uthando lwabaninzi luya kubanda.
UYesu wasiyalela ukuba sinyamezele kude kube sekupheleni. Sifanele siqhubeke sihamba kwimithetho Yakhe yaye singaphambuki kuyo, nokuba kuncinci, ukuze uthando lukaThixo luphuphume ebomini bethu kude kube sekupheleni. Uthando olungalalanisiyo nesono, kodwa wahlukanisile nesono. Masizilinde kwaye sithintele ukuba uthando luya kubanda (Funda kwakhona: Uthando nobabalo lukaThixo aluhambelani nesono‘).
