Wonke umKristu uqhelene nebali lendalo eliseBhayibhileni, kuquka nokudalwa komntu, owadalwa ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo. Nangona kunjalo, kudla ngokwenzeka ukuba esi sicatshulwa eBhayibhileni (IGenesis 1:26-27) icatshulwe kwaye isetyenziswe ngokuthanda ngamaKristu ukuthethelela nokwamkela umlingiswa, ukuziphatha, kunye nendalo yabantu abachasa amazwi nentando kaThixo, nemisebenzi yenyama (isono). Injani lonto? Ngaba umntu akenziwanga ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo?? Makhe sijonge oko iBhayibhile ikutshoyo nethethayo ngomntu odalwe ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo.
Ukudalwa komntu eBhayibhileni
AWathi uThixo, Masenze umntu ngokomfanekiso Wethu, Emva kokufana kwethu: Kwaye bavumele ukuba balawule kwiintlanzi zolwandle, Kwaye ngaphezulu kwentaka yomoya, Kwaye ngaphezulu kweenkomo, nakuwo wonke umhlaba, Kwaye phezu kwayo yonke into enambuzelayo emiselweyo emhlabeni. Ngoko uThixo wamdala umntu ngokomfanekiselo wakhe, Ngomfanekiso kaThixo wamdalela yena; Indoda nebhinqileyo yadala (IGenesis 1:26-27)
Umntu udalwe ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo
Umntu udalwe ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo (El-Elohim). UThixo wambumba umntu ngothuli lwasemhlabeni waza waphefumlela emathatheni akhe impefumlo yobomi. Xa uThixo waphefumlela umoya wakhe wobomi emathatheni omntu, umntu ke waba ngumphefumlo ophilileyo.
Umntu wayedalwe ngokugqibeleleyo ibe wayenomoya, umphefumlo nomzimba. Umntu wayambethe ubulungisa nozuko lukaThixo kwaye wayengawazi umzimba wakhe. Akazange abubone ubunqunu bakhe, kwaye wayengenazintloni.
UAdam wayengunyana kaThixo kwaye wazalwa ngoMoya kaThixo.
Umoya womntu wawulawula umphefumlo nomzimba.
Umphefumlo nomzimba zathotyelwa kumoya, apho ubume bukaThixo bebulawula emntwini.
Kwakungekho bubi nabunqambi obukhoyo kwindalo kaThixo. Yiyo loo nto umntu wahamba ngokungafihlisiyo noThixo.
Ngoxa uThixo wawisa ubuthongo obunzulu kuAdam, wathi elele, UThixo wakhupha ubambo luka-Adam olunye emzimbeni wakhe, wavala inyama yakhe, wenza umfazi, wamnika uAdam umfazi..
UThixo wamzisa ngokwakhe umfazi kuAdam. Xa uAdam wabona umfazi, uthe: Eli ke ngoku lithambo lasemathanjeni am, nenyama yenyama yam: kuya kuthiwa ngumfazi, ngokuba uthatyathwe endodeni.” Umfazi wayengowendoda yaye bekunye benyama-nye (IGenesis 2:21-25)
Kwabakho umanyano nemfezeko phakathi kwendoda nomfazi naphakathi koThixo nendoda. Indalo yayilungile, ewe ibintle kakhulu.
Ukuwa komntu
Kodwa usathana, owaphoswa ezulwini phezu komhlaba, wayenekratshi yaye efuna ukufana noThixo. Wayefuna nokuba nonyana nokuba ngutata, njengoThixo. Wayibona indlela uThixo awayehamba ngayo nonyana wakhe waza waba nomona.
Umtyholi akazange abe nomona kuThixo kuphela, ukuba Wayenonyana, kodwa naye wayenomona ngaloo nto, ukuba uThixo wamnika igunya umntu phezu komhlaba, nemiphefumlo yonke ekhoyo ehlabathini.
Ngoko ke, usathana weza necebo, apho engayi kumthabatha nje kuphela unyana kaThixo kuYe aze amenze owakhe unyana, kodwa kwakhona thatha ubukhosi phezu komhlaba nayo yonke imiphefumlo ephilayo, emntwini.
Ukuba unyana kaThixo ubeya kumphulaphula, endaweni kaThixo, kwaye wayeya kwenza amazwi akhe aze angamthobeli uThixo emva koko unyana kaThixo wayeza kuba phantsi kwegunya likasathana ngokuzenzekelayo.. Umtyholi wayengayi kuba nguyise kuphela, kodwa wayeya kuba ngumlawuli womhlaba aze alawule zonke izinto ezinomphefumlo naphezu kwazo zonke izidalwa eziphilayo, kubandakanya umntu.
Umtyholi akazange asondele ngqo kwindoda nomfazi, wasondela umtyholi, wamlinga umfazi, ngenyoka, wayihenda indoda ngomfazi.
Umtyholi wahenda umfazi ngokuthetha inyaniso engaphelelanga
Umtyholi wahenda umfazi ngokuthetha inyaniso engaphelelanga, oko kukuthi, ukuba baya kudla kuwo umthi owalelweyo, babeza kuba njengoThixo. Umtyholi akazange athethe ngenxalenye, ukuba baya kudla kuwo umthi owalelweyo, ukuba baya kufa. Hayi, usathana akazange ayikhankanye loo ndawo.
Umfazi waqala ukuthandabuza amazwi kaThixo kwaye wakholelwa kwaye wathobela amazwi enyoka ngaphezu kwamazwi kaThixo. Kwaye uAdam wenza ngendlela efanayo nomfazi wakhe. UAdam naye wawakholelwa amazwi omfazi ngaphezu kwamazwi kaThixo.
Ngenxa yenyani, ukuba wakholwa umfazi, wawathobela amazwi enyoka, ngaphezu kwamazwi kaThixo kwaye indoda nayo yakholwa kwaye yathobela amazwi omfazi, ngaphezu kwamazwi kaThixo, bobabini babeka indalo kaThixo ngaphezu koMdali.
Nge ukungathobeli komntu kuThixo, Umoya womntu wasweleka waza umntu wahlukaniswa noThixo. Umntu wawa kwisikhundla sakhe njengonyana kaThixo waza waphulukana nolawulo lwakhe (ukuba uThixo wamnika umntu), ukulawula umhlaba kwaye konke okuphakathi.
Ngokungathobeli komntu uThixo (isono) Ukufa kungenisiwe
Ngalo mzuzu, xa indoda nomfazi bengazange bawuthobele umthetho kaThixo baza batya kumthi owalelweyo, bona kwangena ukufa. Nje ngeziphumo, umoya womntu wafa waza umntu waba phantsi kwegunya lokufa.
Umtyholi wafumana ulawulo phezu komhlaba nako konke okungaphakathi, kubandakanya umntu, owafayo umoya wakhe.
Umtyholi waba nguyise womntu owileyo (umoni). Wonke umntu, ababeya kuzalwa eyinyama emhlabeni bephuma embewini yomntu, uyakuba nendalo yakhe ewileyo kunye nesimilo. Umphefumlo wawungasalawulwa ngumoya noThixo, kodwa kungomzimba noMtyholi.
Ngokungathobeli uThixo umoya womntu wafa waza umntu wahlukaniswa noThixo
Xa umoya womntu wafa, umntu wahlukaniswa noThixo kwaye inyama yalawula. Umntu wayengasengowomoya kodwa wayengowokwenyama nokulawulwa yingqiqo.
Okwenzekileyo kummandla womoya kwabonakala kummandla wendalo ngenyaniso, avuleka amehlo abo, bawubona umzimba wabo nobuze babo.
Babefumene ulwazi lokulungileyo nokubi kwaye ke ngoko baqonda ubuze babo, waba neentloni. Ukugubungela ubuze babo, bathunga amagqabi omkhiwane, bazenzela imibhinqo.
Indoda nomfazi abazange babe neentloni nje ngobuze babo, baliva ilizwi likaYehova uThixo, ehamba emyezweni, ekupholeni kwemini, boyika baza bazimela ebusweni bukaYehova.
Xa uThixo wabuza uAdam, apho wayekhona, UAdam waphendula wathi woyika kuba ehamba ze.
Nangona uThixo wayesazi lonke ixesha, ukuba badle kumthi owalelweyo, Wabuza uAdam, ngubani obemxelele, nokuba babehamba ze nokuba babedlile kumthi owalelweyo.
UAdam akazange alibeke ityala waza wavuma ukuba ngokwenene watya kumthi owalelweyo waza wacela ukuxolelwa. Hayi, ubume kunye nobunjani be indoda endala yabonakala, oko kukuthi ukugxeka omnye umntu ngezenzo zakho kunye (mis)ukuziphatha.
UAdam akazange abeke ityala kuye kodwa watyhola umfazi wakhe ngezenzo zakhe. Umfazi wenza kwaloo nto yakhe waza wakhomba umnwe kwinyoka.
Izohlwayo zikaThixo kwinyoka, umfazi nendoda
Inyoka yaba sisiqalekiso kuThixo yaye yayiya kuhamba ngesisu ize idle uthuli ukususela ngaloo mini ukuya phambili.
UThixo wathembisa, ukuze abeke ubutshaba phakathi kwakhe nomfazi naphakathi kwembewu yakhe (aboni) nembewu yakhe (UYesu), kwaye yiyo (UYesu) wayeza kumtyumza intloko kwaye yayiya kuyityumza isithende.
Lo mfazi waqalekiswa nguThixo, ngokuyandisa kakhulu intlungu nokukhawula kwakhe.
Ukususela ngaloo mini ukuya phambili, Wayeza kuzala abantwana enesingqala. Umnqweno wakhe uya kuba sendodeni yakhe, wayeya kulawula phezu kwayo.
Oku kwakungenjalo, phambi kokuba one, xa indoda nomfazi babebanye kwaye nangona uAdam waqala ukubunjwa, babelingana.
Le ndoda yayiqalekisiwe nguThixo, ngokuqalekisa umhlaba ngenxa yakhe. Wayedla kuwo ebuhlungu yonke imihla yobomi bakhe.
Umhlaba wawuza kuvelisa imithana enameva neenkunzane yaye wayedla umfuno wasendle. Ngokubila kobuso bakhe wayedla isonka, ade abuyele emhlabeni. Ngenxa yokuba wabunjwa ngothuli lomhlaba yaye ngoko wayeza kubuyela kwaseluthulini.
Emva kokuwa uAdam wabiza umfazi wakhe ngokuthi nguEva, ngokuba ubuphila yena bonke abaphilileyo.
UThixo wamambesa umntu iimpahla zesono
UThixo wathabatha ifaskoti, ezenziwe ngumntu, uThixo wamambesa umntu iingubo zezintsu, awayenzayo Yena. Esi yaba sicamagushelo sokuqala sezono zomntu, eyenziwe nguThixo ngokwakhe.
Emva kokuwa, UThixo wathi umntu waba ngomnye wabo, kwaye wayefumene ukwazi okulungileyo nokubi.
Umntu wadalwa ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo kwaye unomoya wakhe nobomi banaphakade. Kodwa ngenxa yokuba umntu wadla isiqhamo somthi owalelweyo wokulungileyo nokubi, umntu wayekwazi okulungileyo nokubi.
Nangona umntu enolwazi lokulungileyo nokubi, umoya womntu ufile.
OwoMoya wayevunyelwe ukuba adle kuwo umthi wobomi, kuba uThixo wayengabalelanga ukuba batye kulo mthi. Kodwa ngenxa yokuba umntu wona kwaye umoya womntu wafa, umntu waba ngowenyama kwaye akaba savunyelwa ukuba atye kumthi wobomi. Umntu omncinci angatya kwaye abe nobomi obungunaphakade.
Ngoko ke, UThixo wamgxotha umntu kumyezo wase-Eden nangasempuma yomyezo wase-Eden, iiKherubhi, nelangatye lekrele elijikajikayo, wayigcina indlela yomthi wobomi (Gen 3:1-24).
Isazela somntu
Wafa umoya womntu, kodwa yinyama, ebelawula kuyo umtyholi, wayephila, kwaye ekwazi okulungileyo nokubi. Umntu wafumana ulwazi lwezinto, ezazilungile kunye nezinto, ezazibi. Ngoko ke, Kwakungekho mfuneko yokuba uThixo abanike imiyalelo.
Sibiza ukwazi okulungileyo nokubi, isazela somntu. Isazela somntu sikhona emphefumlweni womntu. Wonke umntu, ozelwe kulo mhlaba uzalwa enolwazi; ukwazi okulungileyo nokubi aze azenzele esakhe isigqibo sokwenza okulungileyo okanye okubi.
Isiphumo somntu owileyo kunye nomahluko phakathi kokwenza okulungileyo nokwenza okubi kwabonakala ngokukhawuleza kubomi bukaKayin noAbheli, abalizibulo bembewu yomntu.
Ubomi obahlukeneyo bukaKayin noAbheli
Bobabini babephuma kwisizukulwana sikaKayen noAbheli indoda endala yenyama (umntu owileyo). Nangona babengabenyama kwaye bahamba ngokwenyama, babenokwazi okulungileyo nokubi.
UKayen waba ngumlimi, wenza umnikelo kuYehova uThixo ngeziqhamo zomhlaba. uAbheli wayengumalusi wezimvu, bazisa idini kuNdikhoyo uThixo webandla amazibulo emhlambini wakhe, namanqatha awo.
UThixo wawamkela umnikelo ka-Abheli kodwa akazange awamkele umnikelo kaKayin
Wawubeka uYehova umnikelo ka-Abheli, kodwa kungekhona umnikelo kaKayin. Wacaphuka kunene uKayin (ingqumbo) wawa ubuso bakhe.
UThixo wambona uKayin ukuba unomsindo, wabuza uKayin, kwakutheni ukuze abenomsindo (ingqumbo) kwaye kutheni ubuso bakhe buwile. UThixo wamxelela, ukuba uya kwenza okulungileyo, akavuma ukuvutha ngumsindo wakhe, akabuguqula ubuso bakhe ubuso bakhe.
Kungenxa yokuba, UKayin wayengenalungelo lokumqumbela uAbheli. U-Abheli wayengenatyala ngomnikelo kaKayin owawungamkelwanga nguThixo. UKayin waba nembopheleleko ngemisebenzi yakhe, hayi umntakwabo.
Ukuba uKayin wayehambe elilungisa waza wenza idini ngokwelizwi likaYehova intando kaThixo, wandule ke ukwamkelwa umnikelo wakhe, kanye njengomnikelo ka-Abheli.
UThixo wayalela uKayin ukuba angawunikeli umsindo wakhe
Ngoko wathi uThixo, ukuba uKayin ebenokwenza okulungileyo angangeni emsindweni wakhe. Kodwa ukuba uKayin wayenokuwunikela emsindweni wakhe, enze ububi, ngoko ke ingqumbo yayinokukhokelela esonweni.
Isono sasilele emnyango, umnqweno wakhe ube kuye. Kodwa uThixo wathi kuKayin, ukuze alawule isono. UKayin wayenokusilawula njani isono?? Ngokunganikezeli kumsindo wakhe.
Kodwa uKayin akazange aphulaphule kwaye akazange awathobele amazwi kaThixo, kodwa wahamba indlela yakhe.
UKayin wathetha noAbheli ngoxa babesentsimini, UKayin wamvukela uAbheli, wambulala.
Nangona uThixo wayesazi yonke into eyenzekayo, UThixo wambuza uKayin, kanye njengokuba Wenzayo kuAdam, apho wayekhona umntakwabo.
Kodwa ngenxa yokuba ububi babulawula ebomini bukaKayin, wamxokisa uThixo, waphendula, ukuba wayengazi apho akhoyo. Kuba wayengowakhe umgcini womzalwana? Kodwa uThixo waphinda wambuza, apho wayekhona umkhuluwa wakhe waqhubeka wathi, ukuba igazi lomzalwana wakhe, wakhala kuye emhlabeni. ngenxa yoko uKayin waqalekiswa emhlabeni, ebevule umlomo wakhe ukuba afumane igazi lomzalwana wakhe esandleni sakhe.
Xa wayelima umhlaba, ubungangamniki amandla akhe. UKayin wayeza kuba sisibhadubhadu esibhadula emhlabeni.
UKayin wamphendula uYehova, wathi, Isohlwayo sam sikhulu ngaphezu kokuba ndingasithwala. Khangela, Ùndigxothile namhla phezu komhlaba; ndiya kusithela ebusweni bakho; yaye ndiya kuba sisibhadubhadu nesibhadubhadu ehlabathini; kwaye kuya kwenzeka, ukuze wonke umntu ondifumanayo andibulale.
Kodwa uThixo wamphendula wathi, ngoko ke, nabani na obulala uKayin, Mayephindezelwa kuye kasixhenxe. UYehova wamphawula uKayin, hleze nabani na amfumanayo ambulale.
Wemka ke uKayin, wemka ebusweni bukaYehova, wahlala ezweni lakwaNodi, ngasempumalanga ye-Eden (IGenesis 4:1-16).
Ukuzalwa kukaSete
Xa uAdam wayekho 130 iminyaka ubudala, wazala unyana ngokufana naye, ngokomfanekiso wakhe, wambiza ngokuba nguSete, nto leyo ethetha ukubamba indawo. USete waba ngoAbheli nakwimbewu yakhe, uMesiya wayeza kuzalwa.
Emva kukaSete, UAdam wazala abanye oonyana neentombi. UAdam wafa esekwiminyaka yobudala 930 iminyaka (IGenesis 5:1-3).
Umntu omdala udalwe ngokomfanekiselo ka-Adam
Wonke umntu, ozelwe embewini yomntu (UAdam) uzalwa ngokomfanekiselo ka-Adam, emva kokufana kwakhe nomzimba nomphefumlo (inyama). Kuba umoya womntu wafa, kwaye umntu wayengasengowomoya kodwa wayengowenyama nengqiqo elawulayo, UThixo kwafuneka azityhile kummandla wendalo, phakathi kwabanye ngeemvakalelo zomntu. Yiloo ndlela uThixo azityhile ngayo kwiTestamente eNdala nakwiincwadi ezine zevangeli.
Ekubeni umntu wayengowenyama kwaye ekhokelwa yindalo yakhe yesono, sihlala sifunda ngowexuko lomntu kunye nobubi bomntu obalawula emhlabeni. Ngenxa yesono kwafika unogumbe, kodwa kungekudala emva konogumbe, ububi emntwini baphinda bavuka waza umntu waqhubeka esenza okubi endaweni yokulungileyo.
Konke oku kwenzeka, ngenxa yokuba umntu wayebanjiswe yimvelo yakhe yesono, wawufile umoya wakhe.
Babembalwa kuphela, abamoyikayo uYehova; wayemthanda uThixo Ngeentliziyo zabo zonke, ingqondo, umphefumlo namandla, walandela okulungileyo, wasuka ebubini.
Abantu abaninzi babekuthanda ukwenza ububi yaye bezalisekisa iminqweno neminqweno yenyama yabo enesono.
Xa uThixo wakhulula abantu bakhe esandleni samaJiputa, oko kwabagcina ebukhobokeni, ingqondo nobomi babo zazingcoliswe kakhulu ngamasiko, imikhwa, izithethe zobuhedeni nemisebenzi yaseYiputa, ukuba nangona babenolwazi lokulungileyo nokubi, kwakufuneka Vuselela iingqondo zabo Ngamazwi kaThixo, ukuze ingqondo yabo ihambelane nentando kaThixo baze bahambe ngendlela yakhe.
Ngoko ke uThixo wakwazisa abantu bakhe ukuthanda kwakhe, ababengenamoya, ngokubanika imiyalelo yakhe ngoMoses.
Nangona isono (ukungamthobeli uThixo, ububi) wayesele ekho ngaphambi komthetho kaMoses, isono satyhilwa ngomthetho kaMoses kumntu wenyama owayengekamoya (AmaRoma 3:20).
Kanye njengokuba uThixo wenzayo kuAdam kunye noKayin, UThixo wanikela imiyalelo yaKhe kwaye kwakuxhomekeke kubantu baKhe benyama, ukuba bebeya kumoyika, bamthande uThixo ngentliziyo yabo yonke, ingqondo, umphefumlo namandla kwaye ngenxa yoko ugcine imiyalelo kaThixo okanye hayi.
UThixo wanika umntu inkululeko yokuzikhethela, apho wonke umntu wayenokukhetha ukumthobela nokwenza okulungileyo okanye ukungamthobeli nokwenza okubi (isono).
Ukuza kukaMesiya
Idinga uThixo awalinika umntu, ayizange yenzeke kwangoko, kodwa kwenzeka. Okoyi, Ukufika koNyana wakhe uYesu Krestu; UMesiya. UYesu wayeza kukhulula umntu kwigunya nakulawulo lomtyholi kwaye wayeza kuhlangula umntu kwimvelo yesono, ekhoyo enyameni.
UYesu weza ukuze axolelanise umntu noThixo, ukuze umntu aphinde anxulumane noThixo ngokomoya aze akwazi ukunxibelelana aze ahambe noThixo, kanye njengangaphambi kokuwa komntu.
UYesu weza esenyameni kwaye wayeyiNdoda, ababehamba ngegunya likaThixo kwaye bethetha ngegunya. Ebe hayi iwashing enqwenelekayo, Ngubani onyamezele kwaye wavuma yonke into. Hayi!
UYesu akazange ayamkele kwaye avumele imisebenzi engendawo kaMtyholi, wayibhenca imisebenzi kaMtyholi.
UYesu wasibhenca isono waza wajongana nabantu ngezono zabo. Wayibhenca indalo yomtyholi, ekhoyo kuwo umntu omdala, nemisebenzi yakhe engendawo, ngokujongana nokuthetha nabantu.
UYesu akazange ayeke, kuba wayemele inyaniso nobomi endaweni yobuxoki nokufa, njengosathana noonyana bakhe.
UYesu wade wabiza abanye oonyana bakaMtyholi, abahanahanisi; Abadlali boBomi, iinyoka, izizukulwana zamarhamba, amangcwaba angabonakaliyo, iinkokeli zeemfama eziziimfama, USathana, impungutye (o.k.. UMateyu 15:7-9; 15:14; 23:24-33; ULuka 11:37-54; 12:56; 13:32).
UYesu wayalela abantu ukuba sonani na. Kodwa kwakuxhomekeke ebantwini, nokuba bawathobele na amazwi kaYesu, ethathwe nguThixo, okanye hayi.
Intlawulelo kunye nokubuyiselwa komntu owileyo
UYesu waziswa njengeMvana esiwa ekuxhelweni. Ngenxa yezono nobugwenxa bomntu owileyo, UYesu wangcungcutheka waza wangxwelerheka. UYesu wohlwaywa esibondeni waza wabethelelwa emnqamlezweni, ngenxa yokungathobeli kwethu uThixo neziphoso zethu.
UYesu wathwala zonke izono kunye nobugwenxa behlabathi kunye nesohlwayo sesono, oko kukuthi, ukufa. Yena wangena ngokusemthethweni eHadesi woyisa ukufa, ekuvukeni kwakhe ekufeni (uIsaya 53)
UYesu wayenguye Izibulo yendalo entsha; umntu omtsha, owadalwa ngokomfanekiselo nangomfanekiso kaThixo. UYesu wabuyisela into eyayitshatyalalisiwe ngumtyholi.
Xa uYesu wanyuselwa ezulwini kwaye ‘inikezelwe’ Igazi Lakhe kuThixo kwaye kwenzeka isihlalo senceba, idinga elilandelayo likaThixo nelikaYesu Krestu lalinokuza; oko kukuthi ukuza kukaMoya oyiNgcwele.
50 Kwiintsuku emva kwePasika, xa abafundi bakaYesu babemanyene emthandazweni kwigumbi eliphezulu eYerusalem, Kweza idinga likaThixo kwaye bonke bamkela ubhaptizo ngoMoya oyiNgcwele.
Bazaliswa bonke nguMoya oyiNgcwele, owahlala kubo kususela kuloo mini.
Oonyana bakaThixo (indalo entsha) bazalwa kwaye umsebenzi wabo wokuqala woMoya yayikukushumayela ivangeli kaYesu Krestu, Umsebenzi wakhe wokukhulula kunye nokubuyiselwa (ukuphilisa) yomntu owileyo nokuxolelana noThixo.
Intlawulelo yesimo sesono esenyameni
Igazi lezilwanyana lalinokucanyagushelwa okwexeshana kuphela kwizono zomntu owileyo. Into elalingenakuyenza igazi lezilwanyana; khulula umntu kwimvelo yesono engendawo yomntu, ekhoyo enyameni, igazi likaYesu lalinako.
I idini likaYesu kwaye igazi lakhe alizange ligubungele kuphela izono zendoda endala kwaye lizicime, kodwa wakhulula umntu omdala kwimvelo yesono evelisa isono nokuchasa (ububi).
Umntu omtsha umiselwe kwangaphambili ukuba afane nomfanekiselo kaYesu Kristu
Ngubani awawenzayo ngaphambili, Uye wenzela ngokumise kade ukuze ahlukaniswe njengomfanekiso wonyana wakhe, ukuze ube ngamazibulo phakathi kwabazalwana abaninzi (AmaRoma 8:29)
UYesu wayengumfanekiselo kaThixo ongabonakaliyo. Wathi uYesu, ukuba umntu ubembonile, yena umbonile uBawo (Owu. UYohane 14:9; 2 KwabaseKorinte 4:4; KwabaseKolose 1:15).
Wonke umntu okholwayo kuYesu Krestu aze aguquke aze azalwe ngokutsha esemoyeni, oko kukuthi ukufa kwenyama nokuvuka koMoya ekufeni (ubhaptizo), kwaye wamkela ubhaptizo ngoMoya oyiNgcwele, iba a indalo entsha (umntu omtsha).
Umoya womntu owafayo ngaso isono naphantsi kwegunya lokufa uvuswa ekufeni ngamandla oMoya oyiNgcwele kwaye wenziwa waphila..
Umntu omtsha ukhululwe kwimvelo yesono, oluvelisa izono nobugwenxa, yaye uye waxolelaniswa noThixo ngokuvuka kwakhe umoya wakhe.
Kwaye ubeke indoda entsha, ehlaziywe ngolwazi emva komfanekiso walowo wamdala: Apho kungekho mGrike namJuda, ukwaluka nokungaluki, Umqaba, UmSkitiya, ikhoboka okanye okhululekileyo: usuke uKristu waba kuko konke, nakuzo zonke (KwabaseKolose 3:10-11)
Umntu omtsha udalwe ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo
Umntu omtsha unomoya ophilayo, umphefumlo, kunye nomzimba, yaye udalwe ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo. Umntu omtsha akasengowomoya, kodwa ngokomoya kwaye baya kuhamba emva koMoya kwaye bakhokelwa liLizwi noMoya oyiNgcwele.
Umntu omtsha uya cima imisebenzi lomntu omdala wenyama kunye yambathani imisebenzi yomntu omtsha. Umntu omtsha uya kuhlaziyeka enyameni yakhe, ngeLizwi likaThixo, ukuze ingqondo yakhe ilungelelene noMoya nokuthanda kukaThixo.
Umntu omtsha akayi kuyihlaziya ingqondo yakhe kuphela ngamazwi kaThixo, kodwa kanjalo uya kuthobela amazwi kaThixo kwaye abe ngumenzi wamazwi kaThixo.
Oonyana bakaThixo baya kubonakala, ngokuba beya kuqhubeka behamba ngokoMoya ngokulilulamela ilizwi, bangahambi ngokwenyama ekulithobeleni ihlabathi.. Umoya wabo awusekho, kodwa uyaphila, ngenxa yoko ingqiqo yabo ayisemnyama, ababi sahamba emva kwakhe Intando yedemon, neenkanuko zenyama. Abasahambi ngokokuthanda kwenyama, ukufeza iinkanuko nenkanuko yenyama nengqondo, njengoko indoda endala yenyama ihamba (Kwabase-Efese 2:3)
Kodwa wonke umntu, ozelwe nguye, Uya kuwaphulaphula amazwi akhe, uwagcine amazwi akhe. Umntu omtsha uya kushumayela inyaniso kwaye aveze kwaye atshabalalise imisebenzi yobumnyama, njengoYesu. Endaweni yokuyalela indlela yokuphila kwinqanaba lobuchule, kananjalo anilihlambeli ilizwi likaThixo ngomxube wolahlekiso (2 KwabaseKorinte 4:2).
Oonyana bakaThixo baya kubonakala ngesiqhamo abasivelisayo ebomini babo; i isiqhamo seSpirit.
UYesu wayebaqonda oomoya yaye eqonda enoba abantu bayamthanda uThixo ngaphezu kwayo yonke into, Ngeentliziyo zabo zonke, ingqondo, amandla kunye nomphefumlo, ngemisebenzi yabo nangeziqhamo zabo. Indoda entsha, ohamba emva komoya, njengokuba uYesu wayeya kucalula oomoya, abacalule oonyana bakaThixo koonyana bakaMtyholi, ngeziqhamo abazithwalayo.
Ngaba umntu udalwe ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo okanye umtyholi?
Nangona umntu wayeqale ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo ngokufana nabo, ubomi babantu nemisebenzi yabo ingqina ukuba ngabakabani na: NguThixo okanye uMtyholi. Logama umoya womntu usekufeni, umntu uya kulawulwa kwaye uya kuhamba ngokwenyama, zilawulwa nguThixo nenganga yegunya lesibhakabhaka; umtyholi.
Logama umoya womntu usekufeni, umntu kukufa kuThixo, kodwa uphila kwihlabathi. Ngenxa yoko umntu uya kuviwa, yamkelwe, ethandwa kwaye ethandwa lihlabathi (1 UYohane 3:1).
Ke ihlabathi libathiyile oonyana bakaThixo, ngokuba uMoya kaThixo, ohleli kubo, Ilohlwaya ihlabathi lesono. Kwaye ixhego, ohamba ngokwenyama, akafuni ukujongana nezono zakhe kwaye akafuni ukumamela amazwi kaThixo, loo nto bizela enguqukweni.
Indoda endala yenyama ifuna ukumamela kwaye ihambe emva kwentando yenyama, Ukufezekisa iinkanuko kunye neminqweno yenyama, Ngaphandle kokuziva unetyala.
Imisebenzi emininzi kasathana iyanyamezeleka, zivunyiwe kwaye zigwetyelwe ngamaKristu, kuquka nobungendawo bomntu owileyo, oluvelisa isono nobugwenxa.
Zonke izinto zivumelekile phantsi kwengubo ye uthando kwaye Ubabalo lukaThixo, kwaye... umntu wenziwa ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo.
Ngokutsho kwehlabathi, wonke umntu uzalwa enesimo esithile, umlinganiswa kunye nokuqhelaniswa, ayinakuguqulwa loo nto. Ngoko ke umntu akanakunceda ukuba azalwe ngolo hlobo.
Ngenxa yenyani, ukuba icawa iye yaba yeyomoya kwaye ifana nehlabathi kwaye amaKristu amaninzi aye akreqa kwinyaniso yeLizwi likaThixo., bayakholwa baza bayamkela le ntetho.
Abathethi nje kuphela, ukuba abantu bazalwa benjalo, kodwa benza kube kubi ngakumbi, ngokuthi uThixo wamdala ngaloo ndlela umntu, kwanokuba umntu udalwe ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo. Ngoko ke, umntu angahlala aphile ngendlela (s)ngu. Kodwa oku kwakhona yinyaniso engaphelelanga, asetyenziswa nguMtyholi, ngoko ke ubuxoki.
Ewe, umntu wenziwe ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo, kungesono nangenxa yobubi, ekhoyo embewini yomntu, umntu uzalwa enje umoni, ngokwemvelo yesono.
Yiyo loo nto uYesu kwafuneka eze emhlabeni, ukujongana nengxaki yesono somntu owileyo.
UYesu wayitshabalalisa imisebenzi kaMtyholi
UYesu weza kutshabalalisa imisebenzi kaMtyholi. Weza kukhulula umntu kwimvelo yesono, ekho esenyameni, ukuxolelanisa umntu noThixo, ngokuvuka komoya womntu ekufeni.
Wonke umntu, ngubani onayo waguquka kunye namabango uzelwe ngokutsha, kodwa qhubekani ninyamezela, ukwamkela nokuba uqhubeke usenza imisebenzi kaMtyholi, akamazi uThixo kwaye ayingowakhe, kodwa usengokaMtyholi. Umntu akazange akhululwe enyameni ngokuvuswa komoya ekufeni, kodwa umntu usengowenyama kwaye a ikhoboka lenyama yaye uphila phantsi kwegunya lokufa. Ayingomazwi am la, kodwa la ngamazwi kaThixo. Kuba kubhaliwe:
Ukuba uyazi ukuba ulilungisa, niyazi ukuba bonke abenza ubulungisa bazelwe nguye. Khangela, Uthando oluza kuluthandile uBawo, Ukuze sibizwe ngoonyana bakaThixo: ngenxa yoko ihlabathi alisazi thina, kuba ibingamazi. Zintanda, Ngoku singoonyana bakaThixo, kwaye ayikabonakali into esiya kuba yiyo: Kodwa siyayazi loo nto, xa athe wabonakala, Siya kuba njengaye; Kuba siya kumbona njengoko anjalo. Bonke abanalo eli themba kuye, bazenza nyulu, njengokuba enyulu.
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 abonayo abambonanga, Ayamazi.
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. (1 Joh 2:29-3:10)
Ukuthanda uThixo nokuthanda umzalwana wakho akuthethi ukuvumela, ukunyamezela nokwamkela isono (ububi), ngokuba isono sikhokelela ekufeni (I-ROM 6:16). Ukuba ngokwenene uyamthanda umzalwana wakho njengoko uzithanda ngako, awufuni kwenzeke into embi kuye, yaye ngokuqinisekileyo akufuni ukuba umzalwana wakho aphoswe edikeni lomlilo elingunaphakade.
Indoda endala yadala uthixo ngokomfanekiso wayo
AmaKristu amaninzi akatshintshi kwakhona emfanekisweni kaThixo kwaye akambathi uYesu Krestu. Kodwa baye bazenzela uthixo ngokomfanekiso wabo ezingqondweni zabo, ngubani onjengabo. Badale uthixo, ngubani ovumayo, inyamezela kwaye ithethelela yonke into, kuquka isono.
Kodwa ukuba uThixo akasikhathalelanga isono, njengoko abantu abaninzi bekholelwa kwaye beshumayela, ngoko kwakunganyanzelekanga ukuba uYesu eze kulo mhlaba aze afe emnqamlezweni. Inyaniso kukuba uThixo akasithandi isono. Akayi kukholiswa amasikizi kwisizukulwana songendawo (Indoda endala yenyama), eziya ngokuchasene nentando yaKhe.
UThixo ucace gca eLizwini laKhe kwaye usithiyile isono kwaye ke akanako ubudlelane nesono. Kodwa ingxaki yeyokuba uninzi lwamaKristu alufundi iLizwi lakhe kwaye ngenxa yoko abamazi kwaye abayazi intando yakhe.
Uthando lukaThixo luthando lobulungisa yaye alubonakaliswa ngokunyamezela, ukwamkela nokugwetyelwa isono, kodwa ngokuthumela uNyana wakhe uYesu Kristu kulo mhlaba aze ajongane nesono (ububi). Ngenxa yothando lwakhe ngomntu, UThixo umnike indlela yokuphuma umntu owileyo, ukuze akhululwe kwimvelo yesono, lona luvelisa isono, lukhokelela ekufeni okungunaphakade.
Wonke umntu, ozelwe apha emhlabeni uzalwa engumoni, lowo umoya ikukufa. Akukho mntu ukhutshiweyo ngaphandle! Nangona kunjalo, nangona wonke umntu unjalo wazalwa engumoni, akufuneki bahlale bengaboni. Kuba wonke umoni unamandla okuba kuYesu Kristu ngokuzalwa ngokutsha isidalwa esitsha, kwaye uphile emva komoya ngaphakathi ukuthobela kwiLizwi nakuMoya oyiNgcwele, kwaye ngongcwaliso ukhule ube ngumfanekiso kaThixo kwaye ube kwaye uhambe njengoYesu. Kodwa ixhomekeke kumntu wonke, Intoni (s)ugqiba ukwenza.
