Wayethetha ukuthini uPawulos kwabaseRoma 6:12 nge, Ngoko isono masingalawuli (lawula njengokumkani) emzimbeni wakho onokufa? Ukuba amaKristu ayazi inyaniso ngesono, negunya labo kuKristu namandla oMoya oyiNgcwele, ngoko ubomi obuninzi bebuya kwahluka. Makhe sijonge indlela amaKristu anokuphelisa ngayo isono ngokutsho kweBhayibhile.
Ithini iBhayibhile ngokukhanya nobumnyama
IBhayibhile ithi uThixo wadala ukukhanya waza wahlukanisa ukukhanya nobumnyama. Usuku lohlulwe lwaziinxalenye ezimbini; ukhanyiso olulawula emini, nobumnyama obo obulawula ebusuku. Abantu bangabemini, ababusuku. Ngoko ke, abantu bahlala emini kwaye balala ebusuku, nangona kukho ezinye iimeko. Kokubini ukukhanya nobumnyama bulawula emhlabeni (IGenesis 1:1-5).
Kuyafana nakwindawo yomoya, apho kukho izikumkani ezibini.
UBukumkani bukaThixo, obubo ubukumkani bokuKhanya, apho uYesu Kristu enguKumkani yaye elawula. Nobukumkani bomtyholi; ubukumkani bobumnyama, apho uMtyholi engukumkani (irula) kwaye ulawula.
UYesu Krestu ukuKhanya kwehlabathi kwaye ungcwele kwaye unobulungisa. UYesu umele ubungcwele nobulungisa bukaThixo kwaye umele ubomi (Owu. UYohane 8:12; 9:5; 12:46; Hebhere 1:3).
Abantu, abazelwe ngokutsha kuKristu, bazelwe nguThixo. Baguqulwa besuka ebumnyameni baye ekukhanyeni babe ngabakaThixo (Owu. KwabaseKolose 1:13-14).
Abasengabo oonyana bakaMtyholi (kokubini amadoda nabafazi), kodwa benziwe oonyana bakaThixo. Njengoonyana bakaThixo, baya kuthobela uThixo uYise neLizwi laKhe. Nje ngeziphumo, baya kuhamba ngcwele, bengamalungisa ngokoMoya ekukhanyeni.
UMtyholi akakho ngcwele kwaye ulilungisa, kodwa igoso, yonakele
Umtyholi akangcwele kwaye akangokaThixo, kodwa ugoso-goso, wonakele (wonakele ngokuziphatha). Usisiphatha-zingelosi, owawayo kwisikhundla sakhe ngenxa yekratshi nokungathobeli kwakhe uThixo. Waphoswa ezulwini waza waphoswa emhlabeni, apho wamisa khona ubukumkani bakhe ngobuxoki bakhe nenkohliso.
Umtyholi nguyise womntu owileyo, abathi kanye njengaye batyeshela umyalelo kaThixo baza bawa kwizikhundla zabo. Ungumlawuli wehlabathi; ubumnyama. Umtyholi akathethi nyaniso, kanti uthetha ubuxoki. Yena ulixoki, ungumkhohlisi, kwaye wona kwasekuqaleni. Umtyholi aka satan aka inyoka umele isono, ubugwenxa, nokufa.
Abantu, abangabakaSathana ngokuzalwa kwemvelo, thobela umtyholi kwaye umlandele (Intando, iinkanuko, kunye neminqweno) inyama ebumnyameni, esonweni, nobugwenxa.
Yintoni umahluko phakathi koonyana bakaThixo kunye noonyana bakasathana?
Umahluko phakathi koonyana bakaThixo kunye noonyana bakasathana ubonakala kubomi babo. Asisoloko sibona kummandla womoya enoba umntu uzalwa ngokutsha okanye akunjalo. Nangona kunjalo, sinokubona inguqu yokomoya kubomi bendalo bomntu.
Unyana kaThixo uthobela uThixo neLizwi laKhe (inyani) kwaye unyana womtyholi uthobela umtyholi namazwi akhe (ubuxoki). Ngoko ke ubomi bomntu buyangqina ukuba ungowabani na, uyathobela akhonze. Kuba njengoko uYesu watshoyo, uza ku wuqondeni umthi ngeziqhamo zawo (UMateyu 7:15-19, ULuka 6:43-45).
Ukuba abantu bathi, ukuba ngabakaThixo kodwa baphila esonweni (Zingisa esonweni), imisebenzi yabo ingqina ukuba asingabo abakaThixo, ekubeni imeko yabo yokomoya nemvelo yabo ingaguqukanga. Ubume bomntu owileyo (indalo endala) ufuna ukuhlala esona aze azikholise yena endaweni kaThixo.
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 abazelwe nguThixo abenzi sono;; kuba imbewu yakhe ihleli kuye: kwaye akanakona, ngokuba ezelwe nguThixo. Kule ndlela abantwana bakaThixo bayabonakala, kunye nabantwana bakaMtyholi: bonke abangenzi bulungisa abangabakaThixo, kwanalowo ungamthandiyo umzalwana wakhe
1 UYohane 3:7-10
Izimvo zabantu kunye neziphumo azinamsebenzi, ILizwi likaThixo libalulekile
Abantu banokuba nazo zonke iintlobo zezimvo kunye neziphumo kwaye bangavumelani noThixo kwaye baguqule amazwi kaThixo ngendlela echuliweyo kangangokuba kubonakale ngathi uThixo uyayinyamezela yonke into kwaye wamkele yonke indlela yokuphila., kodwa ILizwi likaThixo; iNyaniso kaThixo, Uzinziswe ngonaphakade kwaye ekugqibeleni gwebani wonke umntu ngokwemisebenzi yakhe.
Unokwamkela kwaye uzithobe kuThixo nakwiLizwi laKhe kwaye uthobele iLizwi okanye unako Mlahle uThixo ngokungathobeli iLizwi laKhe.
Indawo engwevu, ukunyamezela isono, kunye nokunxibelelana nehlabathi, azikho eBukumkanini bukaThixo. Ziingcamango aka ubuxoki babantu, ephuma kwingqondo yenyama eyenziwe mnyama.
Ukwazi oku, Makhe sijonge amaRoma 6:12, apho uPawulos wayalela ukuba isono singalawuli (lawula njengokumkani) kumzimba ofayo.
Ungasivumela njani isono ukuba singabi salawula njengokumkani emzimbeni wakho onokufa?
Isono silawula nini njengokumkani ebomini bakho? Isono silawula njengokumkani ebomini bakho, ukuba uthobela inkanuko yenyama echasene nentando kaThixo kunye neLizwi lakhe noMoya wakhe, yaye nihlala niyenza imisebenzi yenyama, eyimisebenzi yokungalungisi.
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 6:12-14)
Ubuxoki be ihlabathi eliwileyo kwaye umoni ongunaphakade zisoloko zikhankanywa ukuba zamkele, yamkela, nikhonze isono.
Ngobu buxoki, bavumela isono ukuba silawule njengokumkani ebomini babo.
Endaweni yokuba amaKrestu aphile kwisikhundla esitsha kuKrestu nakwindalo yawo entsha, nokuzithoba kuThixo nakwiLizwi laKhe nokuphila ngoMoya ngokuthobela amazwi eBhayibhile, bazahlule kulo ihlabathi, bengenabudlelane nayo imisebenzi yobumnyama, bengayenzi imisebenzi yenyama, baqhubeka bephila ngokwenyama njengomoni.
Kutheni amaKristu eqhubeka ephila njengaboni?? Esona sizathu siphambili iimfundiso zobuxoki ezishunyayelwa ezipulpitini ebandleni.
AmaKristu amaninzi acinga kwaye aphila ngokuphosakeleyo ngenxa yeemfundiso eziphosakeleyo ezibamba abantu ebukhobokeni besono nokufa
Baninzi abantu abangenamoya emva kweepulpiti, abasenokuba banolwazi oluninzi lwebhayibhile kwaye banomtsalane kunye neliciko, kodwa azazalwa ngokutsha. Abanawo uMoya oyiNgcwele ohleli kubo. Ababuboni uBukumkani bukaThixo, ngenxa yokuba bengangenanga ebukumkanini bukaThixo. Kuba abazange bangene, abanakumela nokuzisa uBukumkani bukaThixo ebantwini. Kodwa baseyindalo endala, Ngoobani ubumnyama.
Ngokuba bengabobumnyama, benza imisebenzi yobumnyama, beshumayela ubuxoki ngeengqondo zabo zobuntu ezingahlaziyekiyo. (Funda kwakhona: Abafundisi abaninzi bakhokelela iigusha enzonzobileni).
Ukuba uhlala uhlala usiva, ukuba ulihlwempu, ukuba awunamandla, ukuba ungumoni kwaye uya kuhlala ungumoni, nokuba akunamsebenzi kuThixo ukuba uphila njani, ke uya kuhlala unengqondo yexhoba.
Uya kuba nengqondo yexhoba kwaye uphile njengebanjwa likasathana kunye nexhoba lokufa. Wosivumela isono ukuba silawule njengokumkani ebomini bakho.
Nakhululwa kuso isono ngoKrestu
Kodwa inyaniso kukuba, ukuba nithe, nikuKristu Yesu, nikhululwe emandleni obumnyama! Nikhululwe ke esonweni, ukufa, nesihogo. UYesu Kristu woyisa ukufa waza wavuka njengoMnqobi. Wawaphula umnqophiso phakathi komntu nokufa kunye nomnqophiso phakathi komntu nesihogo. (Funda kwakhona: Indlela awaphula ngayo uYesu umnqophiso nokufa kunye nesivumelwano nesihogo).
UYesu Krestu unezitshixo zesihogo nokufa. Uzukisiwe kwaye uhleli phezu kwabo bonke ubukhosi, amandla, amandla, kunye nolawulo, kwaye onke amagama abizwayo.
Ukuba uzalelwe kuKristu ngoko ufumene onke amandla nalo lonke igunya kuye lokulawula isono kunye nentando yenyama
Ukuba ukhululwe kumandla obumnyama nokufa, aniyi kuphinda niyenze imisebenzi yobumnyama nivelise isiqhamo sokufa, esisisono.
Aniyi kuphinda niwanikele amalungu enu njengawo izixhobo (izixhobo) yentswela-bulungisa isono ngaphandle, nize ningabi sahamba ebunqambini, ekungamthobelini uThixo (ekuchas’ umthetho). Kunoko, niya kuzinikela kuye uThixo, nizinikele amalungu enu njengawo izixhobo zobulungisa kuThixo kwaye uhambe ngcwele ngokuthobela uThixo kwaye uthwale isiqhamo soMoya.
Isidalwa esitsha asikho phantsi komthetho, siphantsi kobabalo
Ukuba nisidalwa esitsha, nenyama yenu yafa kuKristu, nomoya wenu uvusiwe kwabafileyo, nithe nakhululwa kuso isono nokufa. Amandla okufa aqhawukile. Ukufa akusayi kuba negunya phezu kwenu, ekubeni ungasekho phantsi komthetho kodwa phantsi kobabalo.
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 phantsi kobabalo kuthetha ukuhamba ngokuzithoba nokuthobela uThixo
Ngoko ke, ukuba nithi, anisephantsi komthetho, niphantsi kobabalo, aniyi kuphinda nihambe ekungamthobelini uThixo neLizwi lakhe esonweni. Kodwa uya kwenza oko uThixo akuthethayo eLizwini laKhe kwaye uphile ngokuthobela emva kokuthanda kwakhe.
Ukuba niqhubeka nihamba ngokwenyama ekungamthobelini uThixo niqhubeke nisenza imisebenzi yenyama, awathi uThixo wakutyhila eLizwini laKhe, ke ngoko zondelelani esonweni, Ngoko ke, anikhululwanga ukuba nikhululwe kuso ngoKristu;. Nisaphila phantsi komthetho, olawula enyameni.
Isono masingabi salawula njengokumkani kodwa vumela uKristu alawule njengoKumkani ebomini bakho
Unyana kaThixo uyamthobela uThixo kwaye enze intando yeLizwi noMoya, apho uKristu alawula njengoKumkani. Unyana womtyholi uthobela umtyholi, Ngubani umlawuli wehlabathi, wenza ukuthanda kwenyama (umzimba nengqondo), apho isono sinokulawula njengokumkani.
Musa ukukhohliswa ngamazwi abantu, kodwa kholwani kwaye nithobele amazwi kaThixo, Yeyiphi iNyaniso.
IBhayibhile ithi, ukuba wonke umntu, abo bonayo (unyamezele esonweni) abamazi uThixo kwaye abakaThixo, kodwa ngabakaMtyholi. Ngokuthobela nangobulungisa, Babonakalaliswa oonyana bakaThixo ngokungeva nangenxa yesono batyhileka oonyana bakaMtyholi (o.a. uTito 1:16, 1 UYohane 1:5-7; 2:3-6; 3:4-24).
Isono masingabi salawula njengokumkani, kodwa vumela uKristu; ilizwi, lawula njengoKumkani ebomini bakho!
