Kwivangeli yanamhlanje, iZibhalo ezininzi zikhutshiwe kumongo zize zilungelelaniswe nentando neminqweno neminqweno yenyama, ukuze umntu wenyama angaguquki, kodwa ungahlala usendleleni (s)ukho kwaye uphila ngendlela (s)uyafuna, kwaye uzingise esonweni ngaphandle kokuziva unetyala kwaye kungekho miphumo. Intando kaThixo, eye yaziswa ngazo iZibhalo, ngakumbi inxalenye yokuziphatha yomthetho, iyagatywa yaye yonke into uThixo angayifuniyo nayigxekayo eBhayibhileni igqalwa njengephelelwe lixesha, ngokomthetho, kwaye ayisasebenzi namhlanje. Abantu bathi isono asinto yanto yaye isono asinamiphumo, ekubeni singasadla ubomi phantsi komthetho, siphantsi kobabalo. Kodwa isono seza ngomthetho, kwaye isono asisabikho, kwaye asinamsebenzi, ngokuba uKristu wasikhulula kuwo umthetho? Okanye ukuba isono besikho na ngaphambi komthetho, isono sisekho na, sibe nemiphumo emibi?, nangona uKrestu wakhululwayo kuwo umthetho?
UMdali wezulu nomhlaba
Ingca iyoma;, intyatyambo iyabuna: ke lona ilizwi likaThixo wethu liya kuma ngonaphakade (uIsaya 40:8)
UThixo unguye UMdali izulu nomhlaba kwaye konke okuphakathi. UThixo nguSomandla, nguNaphakade, kwaye intando Yakhe namazwi Akhe emi ngonaphakade kwaye aya kuhlala esebenza emazulwini nasemhlabeni. Nokuba abantu bathini okanye bathini na, abantu abanako ukutshintsha ukuthanda kukaThixo neLizwi lakhe (Owu. Iindumiso 33:11, 1 UPetros 1:25).
Umtyholi unokumfamekisa abantu benyama aze abahende ngobuxoki bakhe, ekhangeleka njengamazwi kaThixo, kodwa uphambuke kancinci, nokwenza abantu bakholelwe ukuba uThixo unguThixo wale mihla, Ohamba namaxesha nangenxa yoko alungelelanise intando yakhe ngamaxesha, kodwa abazelwe ngokutsha bakholwa, abahamba emva koMoya kwaye belazi iLizwi kwaye uYise abayi kumfanyekiswa kwaye balahlekiswe kodwa baya kwazi ukuba ukuthanda kukaThixo akusayi kuguquka kodwa kuya kuma ngonaphakade..
Bayalazi iLizwi kwaye bayayazi loo nto ekugqibeleni, ILizwi lakhe liya kugweba wonke umntu ngokwemisebenzi yakhe. Akukho mntu uvalelweyo emgwebeni kaThixo (ISityhilelo 20:12 (Funda kwakhona: ‘ILizwi linelizwi lokugqibela ngoMhla woMgwebo‘).
UThixo wazisa intando Yakhe eluntwini
Ukususela kwindalo, UThixo wazisa intando Yakhe eluntwini. Umntu wadalwa ngokupheleleyo umfanekiso kaThixo kwaye wayengenayo imvelo yesono, kodwa umntu wayenenkululeko yokuzikhethela. Le nkululeko yokuzikhethela yoluntu yakhetha ukuvukela amazwi kaThixo nokushiya ekuphela komyalelo kaThixo.
Umntu wakholwa wathobela indalo endaweni yoMdali waqubuda phambi kwendalo wabeka indalo ngaphezu koMdali, ebangela ukuba uluntu lube phantsi kwegunya lendalo; umtyholi.
Ukususela kuloo mzuzu, ngenxa yesono sika-Adam, isono sangena kulo lonke uluntu kwaye ukufa kwalawula emntwini.
Kodwa nangona umoya womntu wafa, kwaye isono nokufa kwalawula enyameni yomntu, umntu wayenesazela sokulungileyo nokubi kunye nenkululeko yokuzikhethela phakathi kokulungileyo nokubi (IGenesis 3:22).
Isono besesikho ungekabikho umthetho
Kuba kude kufike kude kube umthetho wehlabathi: Kodwa isono asibalwa xa kungekho mthetho (AmaRoma 5:13)
Umntu ebenokukhetha ukuhamba ebulungiseni enze okulungileyo okanye ahambe ebugwenxeni, one, enze ububi (Funda kwakhona: ‘Yintoni isono?‘).
Isono asizange size ngomthetho wesono nokufa, ngokuba isono sasisele sikho ngaphambi komthetho wesono nokufa, kuba umthetho kaThixo wawusele ukho kwangaphambi kokusekwa kwezulu nomhlaba.
Ngaphambi kokuba umthetho ubekho, UKayin wenza isiqalekiso ebomini bakhe, ngokungathobeli kwakhe amazwi kaThixo nesenzo sakhe esibi.
Umkhukula kunye nokutshatyalaliswa kwe eSodom, neGomora nemizi ngeenxa zonke, kwenzeka ngaphambi kokuba umthetho wesono nokufa ubekho, ngenxa yobubi nokungamthobeli kwabantu uThixo.
Isono, olukukreqa komntu kuThixo nokungamthobeli uThixo, wayesele ekho ngaphambi komthetho kunye nesohlwayo sesono, oko kukufa, wayekho kwangaphambi komthetho. Ngokungamthobeli uThixo, abantu bawuzisela ububi umphefumlo wabo (Funda kwakhona: ‘Abantu abanobubi bazizisa‘).
UThixo usazisile isono ngomthetho
Siza kuthini emva koko? Ngumthetho isono? Makube lee oko. Hayi, Khange ndisazi isono, Kodwa ngomthetho: Kuba bendingazi inkanuko, Ngaphandle kokuba umthetho utshilo, Awuyi kunqwenela (AmaRoma 7:7)
Isono asizange size ngomthetho, isono ke besesikho ungekabikho umthetho. Kananjalo ukufa kwakukulawula phambi komthetho. Ukuthanda kukaThixo kwakusele kusaziwa ngaphambi komthetho, ekubeni umntu wayenesazela; ukwazi okulungileyo nokubi. Ngoko ke ungekabikho umthetho, umntu wayenamandla okukhetha ukwenza okulungileyo okanye okubi.
Inye kuphela into ayenzileyo uThixo, kukuba ngokunika umthetho wesono nokufa kubantu bakhe benyama, abazelwe yiMbewu kaYakobi (Sirayeli ), UThixo wazisa intando Yakhe kubantu Bakhe benyama.
Umthetho wongeziwe kwaye ngokunika umthetho, UThixo wabonakalisa ubume bakhe nobulungisa bakhe wasityhila isono (AmaRoma 3:20).
Ngenxa yoko, Abantu bakaThixo babekwazi ukuthanda kukaThixo yaye babekwazi kakuhle oko akuthandayo nangakuthandiyo uThixo yaye babeyazi imiphumo yoko..
UThixo akazange awunike umthetho njengesohlwayo, kodwa uThixo wanikela umthetho ngenxa yokuba ebathanda abantu Bakhe nanjengomfundisi-ntsapho, ukukhokela abantu Bakhe kude kube sekufikeni kukaYesu Krestu, ukuze abantu bakhe bahambe ekuthandeni kwakhe kwaye Iindlela zakhe.
Kwaye abo, ababengabantu bakaThixo benyama babenokumbonisa uThixo uthando lwabo ngokuthobela amazwi omthetho wesono nokufa. (Funda kwakhona: ‘Imfihlo yomthetho').
Ngaba umthetho usasebenza nanamhlanje?
Owu ndoda! oya kundihlangula kulo mzimba woku kufa? Ndiyabulela kuThixo Krestu iNkosi yethu. Ngoko ke mna ngokwam ngayo ingqiqo okunene ndikhonza umthetho kaThixo;; kodwa ngenyama ngomthetho wesono (AmaRoma 7:24-25)
Kudla ngokungacaci ngomthetho wesono nokufa nokuba lo mthetho usasebenza kusini na. Umthetho wesono nokufa wawulungiselelwe abantu bakaThixo benyama, ekuye kwalawula kuye isono nokufa enyameni. Njengoko ubhale ngaphambili, umthetho waba ngumfundisi wenyama kwada kwayimini ukuza kukaYesu Kristu, owakhulula umntu owileyo emandleni esono nokufa ngokukhulula inyama waza wabuyisela isimo somntu owileyo ngokuvuka komoya kwabafileyo..
Ekuphela kwendlela yokukhululwa kumthetho wesono nokufa kukukholwa kuYesu Krestu nokufa kwenyama nokuvuka komoya kwabafileyo. (Funda kwakhona: ‘Kuthetha ukuthini ulwaluko kuKristu??).
Ke ngoko akukho kugwetywa kwabakuKristu Yesu,, abangahambiyo emva kwenyama, kodwa emva komoya. Kuba umthetho woMoya wobomi, ndikuKristu Yesu, undikhulule emthethweni wesono nokufa (AmaRoma 8:1-2)
Ngokuzalwa ngokutsha, Umthetho wesono nokufa, olawula enyameni’, ayisasebenzi, ekubeni inyama ikukufa.
Ngokubethelelwa kwenyama kunye nokuvuka komoya ekufeni kunye nokuhlala koMoya oyiNgcwele., umthetho wesono nokufa awusalawuleki kubomi bomntu omtsha, ke wona umthetho woMoya ulawula kubomi bomntu omtsha, ebhalwe entliziyweni entsha yomntu omtsha. Ukufa akusayi kulawula ngenyama, ubomi ke bulawula ngoMoya (Funda kwakhona: ‘Kwakutheni ukuze uThixo abhale umthetho wakhe kumacwecwe amatye?‘ Kwaye 'Kweneke ntoni 50 iintsuku emva kwePascha?‘)
Umntu omtsha uyamthanda uThixo ngaphezu kwabo bonke kunye nabo bonke abantu
Indoda entsha, ekubo umthetho woMoya ulawula, uhamba ngokholo emva kokuthanda kukaThixo kwaye uthanda uThixo ngaphezu kwabo bonke kwaye uyamoyika uThixo kwaye uzinikele kuThixo. Ukusuka kolo thando, umntu omtsha uthanda ummelwane njengoko ezithanda yena.
Ithetha ukuba, phakathi kwabanye, loo nto (s)makanganquli thixo wumbi, angavumeli thixo wumbi ebomini bakhe, angalandeli mntu iintanda-bulumko, ithiyori kunye iimfundiso zobuxoki kunye neenkolo ezingaqhelekanga kwaye angabandakanyeki kummandla wemimoya kwaye azidibanise nokufa (Funda kwakhona: ‘Iindlela ezimbini zokungena kummandla womoya‘ kunye 'Lithini iLizwi malunga nomvambo?')
Ithatha ukuba, loo nto (s)uya kubabeka abazali bakhe, angakwenzi oko ubuxoki angayinqweneli imfuyo yakhe. (S)makangahenyuzi, ukukrexeza, ungahlali nomntu, ngubani iqabane lakhe okanye iqabane lakhe, ungalalani nomntu wesini esifanayo, hayi uqhawulo-mtshato, bulala, ukuba, phawula, ulisebenzise iGama likaThixo ngelize, kwaye nangokunjalo.
Ngokuba yonke le yimisebenzi yenyama, apho kulawula isono nokufa. Imisebenzi yenyama ichasene nentando kaThixo kwaye ayivelisi ubomi, kodwa ukufa.
Logama nje abantu bezingisa esonweni baze bala ukuguquka baze bayilahle imisebenzi yenyama, ukufa kuya kulawula ngaso isono.
Ukuba umthetho ophuma kwindalo kaThixo kwaye umele intando kaThixo nobume bakhe, emva koko umntu omtsha, ozelwe nguThixo kwaye unemvelo kaThixo uya kwenza intando kaThixo aze amise umthetho, njengoYesu (Funda kwakhona: ‘Uwumisa njani na umthetho?’)
Isono sisekho
SENZA ke ngoko, siyawuthambisa umthetho ngokholo? Makube lee oko: ewe, Simamela umthetho (AmaRoma 3:31)
Isono sasisele sikho ngaphambi komthetho, kwaye isono sisekho, nangona uThixo enibabale, nikhululeke kuwo umthetho, ngentlawulelo kaYesu Kristu. Abantu, abaphila kuMnqophiso oMtsha basenamandla okuthobela iLizwi likaThixo nokuhamba ebulungiseni okanye ukungathobeli iLizwi likaThixo nokuhamba ebugwenxeni..
Ezo, abathi isono asisekho, kuba nikhululwe kuwo umthetho, nokuba niphila njani na, bangamaxoki yaye abathethi nyaniso. Ngokuba kuThixo, ayinamsebenzi indlela ophila ngayo (Funda kwakhona: ‘Xa ugciniwe uhlala ugciniwe?).
Ezo, abo bazithethayo ezi zinto abanaye uMoya kaThixo kwaye abakhe. Abanabo ubudlelane bobuqu noYesu Krestu noBawo kwaye abayazi intando kaThixo.
Abaqhelananga nezinto zoBukumkani bukaThixo, kodwa abakho ngokwasemoyeni kwaye bamfanyekiswe bubuxoki bomtyholi.
UThixo unike wonke umntu amandla okukhululwa kumandla esono nokufa, ngoYesu Krestu nomsebenzi Wakhe wokuhlangula.
Ubanike igunya bonke abantu, Ukuze ube ngunyana kaThixo, Ngokukholwa kuYesu Krestu kwaye ukuzalwa ngokutsha kuye, nokuhamba ngokoMoya, niyihluthe ngoMoya imisebenzi yenyama (UYohane 1:12-13).
Igazi likaYesu lihlambulula kuso sonke isono lize likhulule umntu kumandla esono nokufa
Siza kuthini emva koko? Siza kuqhubeka esonweni, Olo lubabalo lwaluphele? Makube lee oko. Saya kuthi, abafileyo kwisono, phila nangakumbi? Anazi na, Oko abaninzi kuthi babhaptizwe kuYesu Krestu babhaptizelwa ekufeni kwakhe? Ngoko ke sangcwatywa naye ngokubhaptizelwa ekufeni: ukuze njengokuba uKristu wavuswayo kwabafileyo ngalo uzuko loYise, Ngokunjalo nathi sifanele sihambe sinobomi obutsha (AmaRoma 6:1-4)
Yonke imihla, wonke umntu uyazikhethela ukuhlala Ukuthobela uThixo kunye neLizwi laKhe okanye hayi. Igazi likaYesu Krestu kunye nomsebenzi wakhe wokuhlangula awuyitshintshi loo nto. Igazi likaYesu alinakuvunyelwa ukuba uzingise esonweni uze uqhubeke usenza ezo zinto, ezichasene nentando kaThixo kwaye zilisikizi kuThixo.
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 (AmaRoma 6:15-18)
Xa ubani ezingisa esonweni yaye akakulungelanga ukuguquka, ingqina ukuba imvelo yesono isalawula kubomi baloo mntu kwaye umntu usayithanda imisebenzi yenyama. (isono).
Umntu akazalwa ngokutsha, kodwa iseyindalo endala, ohamba enyameni aphile njenge Ikhoboka lesono nokufa kwaye kungokamtyholi nehlabathi.
Ukuthanda kukaThixo akusayi kutshintsha kwaye akusayi kuze kuhambelane namaxesha esiphila kuwo, kwanenkanuko nenkanuko yenyama yomntu (Funda kwakhona: ‘Ngaba uThixo uya kuyitshintsha intando Yakhe kwiminqweno kunye neminqweno yomntu?‘).
UThixo ukwamnye kwaye uhlala enjalo ukususela kunaphakade kude kube ngunaphakade ngoko ke ukuthanda kwakhe kuhlala kunjalo. Kuxhomekeke ebantwini, ukuzithoba kuThixo nokuthobela amazwi aKhe nokuphila emva kwentando yakhe okanye hayi.
