Ulohlwaya umgxeki, uziintloni,: Kwaye lowohlwayayo umntu ongendawo uzifumana upluvu (IMizekeliso 9:7-8)
Asivunyelwa ukuba sohlwaye (ichanekile) Umgxeki nokhalimela umntu okhohlakeleyo, ohlala ezonweni. Sisenokubalumkisa, kodwa yiyo yonke into esinokuyenza. Kodwa kutheni singavunyelwa ukuba sikhalimele, okanye ubakhalimele? Ngokuba bahlala ebumnyameni, kungekhona ekukhanyeni; abangamalungu omzimba kaKrestu.
Abakhutshelwanga ebukumkanini bobumnyama, basiwe ebukumkanini bokukhanya. Kodwa bahlala ebumnyameni kwaye balandela inyama yabo. Andazi ngcono kunokuba baphile ngaloo ndlela. Ngoko, singalungisa njani, ubakhalimele okanye ubakhalimele, ukuba abayazi into esiyithethayo. Kwaye ngaphandle koko, sele begwetyiwe, ngoko kutheni kufuneka sibagwebe?
Bubudenge umyalelo kaThixo kumntu okhohlakeleyo
Ubukumkani bukaThixo bubudenge kubo, ke ngoko imiyalelo kaThixo nemiyalelo kaYesu, bubudenge kubo.
Cinga ngexesha, ukuba ubuphila ngaphandle koYesu. Awufuni kuba nanto yakwenza neBhayibhile; iLizwi likaThixo waligqala libubudenge. Nanihlala niphila ngokweenkanuko nenkanuko yenyama yenu, nenza ebenithanda ukukwenza. Inyama yakho ibilawula njengokumkani ebomini bakho, wawufile ke umoya wakho.
Kuba umoya wakho wawusefile, anibanga nako ukuziqonda nokuziqonda izinto zobukumkani bukaThixo, kuba ubukumkani bukaThixo bubukumkani bomoya.
Ubuphila njengehlabathi kwaye ungomnye wabo. Ubucinga ukuba uphila ubomi obulungileyo, kwaye akukho nto iphosakeleyo ebomini bakho, wade wadibana noYesu Kristu, kwaye ukukhanya kwajika ebumnyameni.
Ngenxa yokuKhanya, ububonile ubugwenxa bakho. UYesu wazityhila kuwe izono zakho kunye nobugwenxa, kwaye ngenxa yoko, ubukwazi ukuguquka yokuhamba kwakho, obuzele zizono nobugwenxa. Wawungafuni ukuphila ngaloo ndlela kwakhona (ebumnyameni; Ezono kunye nobugwenxa), kodwa nathanda ukuphila ubomi obutsha ekukhanyeni. Uguqukile, wena wabuncama ubomi bakho ngokubhaptizwa emanzini waza wazalwa ngokutsha ngomoya, Ngokubhaptiza nomoya oyingcwele. Emva kokuba uzelwe ngokutsha, ube nako ukuziqonda nokuziqonda izinto zobukumkani bukaThixo.
UMoya oyiNgcwele uyalikhalimela ihlabathi ngesono
UMoya oyiNgcwele uhlala ngaphakathi kuwe, kwaye Nguye kuphela onako ukohlwaya ihlabathi ngenxa yesono, Ubulungisa, nomgwebo. Akawufuni umlomo wakho ngaphandle kokuba umntu othile ukubuza ngokukhethekileyo ulwazi ngombandela othile, kungoko kuphela oya kuthi uvule umlomo wakho kwaye uthethe amazwi kaThixo kunye noluvo lwaKhe.
Kwaye xa athe weza, Uya kulohlwaya ihlabathi ngenxa yesono, nobulungisa, kwaye ngomgwebo: Ngesono, ngokuba bengakholwa kum; Lobulungisa, ngokuba mna ndisiya kuBawo, ningabi sandibona; Yomgwebo, ngokuba umphathi weli hlabathi egwetyiwe (Yoh 16:8-11)
Sisenokungagwebi, bohlwaywa, khalimela okanye ubakhalimele abo, abaphila ngaphandle koMzimba kaYesu Kristu kuba bengeyonxalenye yoMzimba waKhe. Umntu okhohlakeleyo, ophila ngaphandle kukaYesu sele egwetyiwe, Kuba inkosana yeli lizwe, lowo bamkhonzayo ugwetyiwe.
