Phantse wonke umKristu uqhelene nebali leSodom neGomora kwaye uyayazi into eyenzekayo eSodom naseGomora.. Abemi baseSodom babekhohlakele yaye bengaboni abakhulu kuThixo. Isono saseSodom naseGomora sasinzima kangangokuba isikhalo seSodom neGomora safikelela ezulwini.. INkosi yeza emhlabeni ukuze ibone ukuba abantu baseSodom benze ngokwesikhalo eso. Kwihlabathi lanamhlanje, izono kunye nobugwenxa buninzi kwaye bulawula kubomi babantu abaninzi. Abantu abaninzi bamiliselwa kumdiliya waseSodom yaye bahlala kumasimi aseGomora. Ngoko ke, ihlabathi lenza isijwili, lilile, lilindele uYehova izibonakaliso zoonyana bakaThixo (uIsaya 24:4-6, UYeremiya 23:10, uHoseya 4:1-3, AmaRoma 8:19).
UYehova watyhila icebo Lakhe ngeSodom neGomora
UYehova akazange alifihle icebo Lakhe ngokutshabalalisa iSodom neGomora, kodwa walityhila icebo laKhe kuAbraham. Xa uAbraham weva ngecebo likaThixo noko kwakuza kwenzeka ngeSodom neGomora, wacela inceba kuThixo. UAbraham wayefuna ukuba amalungisa atshabalale kunye nabangendawo. Ngoko wacela uYehova ukuba ayisindise iSodom ukuba yayinokubakho 50 Ilungisa.
UThixo wasabela kwisicelo sika-Abraham waza wathembisa uAbraham ukuba wayeza kuyisindisa iSodom ukuba yayinokubakho 50 Ilungisa. Emva koko uAbraham wabuza uThixo ukuba wayeza kuzisindisa na ezo zixeko ukuba zazinokubakho 45 Ilungisa. Kwakhona uThixo wathembisa uAbraham ukuba wayeza kuzisindisa izixeko ukuba zazinokubakho 45 Ilungisa. Kwaye ke uAbraham waqhubeka de wacela uThixo ukuba ayisindise iSodom neGomora ukuba kuya kubakho 10 Ilungisa. Yaye uThixo wathembisa uAbraham ukuba wayeza kuzisindisa izixeko ukuba zazinokubakho 10 Ilungisa.
Iingelosi zaya eSodom
Kodwa ngenxa yokuba kwakungekho 10 Ilungisa, UThixo wathumela iingelosi Zakhe, abeza emhlabeni bengabantu, ukuya eSodom ukuze azalisekise icebo lakhe nokutshabalalisa iSodom neGomora. Akufika amadoda eSodom, ULote wahlala esangweni. Wathi uLote wawabona amadoda lawo, wesuka wabakhawulela, waqubuda kubo, ubuso bakhe bujonge emhlabeni.
ULote wawacela amadoda ukuba aye endlwini yakhe aze alale. Kodwa abazange balamkele isicelo sakhe, ngokuba babethanda ukuhlala esitratweni.
Kodwa uLote akazange anikezele, wawacinezela. Ekugqibeleni, ancama amadoda lawo, aya endlwini yakhe.
ULote walungiselela amadoda isidlo. Emva kokutya ngaphambi kokuba balale ukuze balale, isono nokuchasa umthetho kwatyhilwa eSodom.
Amadoda aseSodom, bobabini abancinci nabadala, yayirhawula indlu kaLote. Beza kuqhelana nala madoda, owangena endlwini kaLothe. Babefuna ukuzimanyanisa namadoda. Oko kulisikizi kuThixo (Funda kwakhona: Lithini iLizwi ngobutabane?).
Abanye abantu bathi, ukuba amadoda aseSodom ayefuna nje ‘ukuwazi’ amadoda yaye oku kwakungenanto yakwenza neentlobano zesini phakathi kwamadoda.. Kodwa ukuba oko kuya kuba yinyani, kwakutheni ukuze uLote anikele ngeentombi zakhe? Kuba amadoda ayeselezazi iintombi zikaLote. Nangona kunjalo, babengazazi iintombi zakhe ngokwesini yaye bengazani nazo.
Iingelosi zazibone ngokwaneleyo zaza zawabetha ngobumfama amadoda awayekumnyango wendlu kaLote.
Usindiswe kwintshabalalo
Ngentsasa elandelayo, izithunywa zezulu zamthabatha uLote, umfazi wakhe neentombi zakhe zombini waza wabasindisa ekutshatyalalisweni. Unyana kaLote wasala ngasemva. Kuba babona uLote njengomntu ohlekisayo kwaye bengakholelwa ukuba iSodom iya kutshatyalaliswa.
Nangona uLote, umfazi wakhe neentombi zakhe zasinda kwintshabalalo, abafikanga bonke apho bebesiya khona. Ngexesha lohambo lwabo, UmkaLote waguquka waba yintsika yetyuwa, kuba akazange awuthobele umyalelo kaThixo wokuba angajongi ngasemva. Oku kuyasibonisa, ukuba umntu angasindiswa entshabalalweni, kodwa kuxhomekeke ekuthobeleni komntu uThixo, nokuba umntu uhlala esindisiwe okanye hayi (Funda kwakhona: Xa ugciniwe uhlala ugciniwe).
Ubutshinga nokwaphuka, awazizisela wona iSodom neGomora
Khangela, Bubugwenxa beSodom umsakwenu obo, ikratshi, ukuzaliseka yesonka, kwaye ubuninzi bobuvila bekukho kuye neentombi zakhe, akasomeleza isandla sosizana nolihlwempu. Kwaye babenekratshi, wenza amasikizi phambi kwam: ngoko ke ndazisusa njengoko ndibona kulungile (UHezekile 16:49-50)
Abemi baseSodom naseGomora babezizisele ububi nentshabalalo yabo, ngokuhamba ngendlela yabo baze bazahlule kuThixo nakwiLizwi laKhe baze benze zonke ezo zinto zazingamasikizi kuThixo.
Babengenalwazi nokuqonda uThixo kwaye bengamazi Iingcinga zakhe kwaye Iindlela zakhe. Kunoko, bathembele kulwazi lwabo, ubulumko, ukuqonda, kunye nokuqonda. Babezele likratshi, abanekratshi nokuzingca. Ngelixa babehlala kwintuthuzelo kunye nentabalala, babengabakhathalele abasweleyo nabangamahlwempu yaye bengabomelezi. Babenekratshi yaye benza amasikizi, nto leyo eyabangela ukuba uYehova abatshabalalise.
Umdiliya waseSodom namasimi aseGomora
Ngokuba luhlanga oluphelelwe ngamacebo, akukho kuqonda kuzo. Owu akwaba babelumkile, ukuba bakuqonde oku, ukuba bacinge ngesiphelo sabo sokugqibela! Umntu angaleqa njani iwaka, ababini bagxotha amawaka alishumi, ngaphandle kokuba iLiwa labo belithengisa ngabo, kwaye uYehova wayewavalile? Kuba alinjengeLiwa lethu iliwa lazo, kwaneentshaba zethu ziyabagweba. Kuba umdiliya wabo ngowomdiliya waseSodom, namasimi aseGomora: iidiliya zabo ziidiliya ezinobuhlungu, Izihloko zazo ziyakrakra: Bubuhlungu beempungutye iwayini yabo;, Nobuhlungu obubuhlungu bephimpi (iDuteronomi 32:28-33 Funda kwakhona isahluko sonke 32)
Iicawa ezininzi zimiliselwe kumdiliya waseSodom kwaye zihlala kumasimi aseGomora. Endaweni yokuba amabandla zigobe iingcambu zakhe kuThixo, siphile size senze izinto eziphuma kuMthombo ophilayo uYesu Kristu, iicawe ezininzi zigobe iingcambu zayo komnye umthombo.
Ngoko ke iicawa ezininzi azisekho kuBukumkani bukaThixo, ebukumkanini bobumnyama; Umhlaba.
Abamiliselwa kuMdiliya kaYesu Kristu ngokholo ukuzalwa ngokutsha kwaye ungaphili kuYe, kodwa bamiliselwa kumdiliya waseSodom, baphile kuwo umdiliya waseSodom.
Ngoko ke amakholwa amaninzi athwala isiqhamo esifanayo nesabantu baseSodom.
Abefundisi abaninzi basonakalisile isidiliya sam, Isabelo sam basinyhashe ngeenyawo, basibharhisile isiziba sam esinqwenelekayo, sayintlango. balenze kube senkangala, ke sona isijwili kum, ngokuba senkangala; ilizwe lonke lenziwe yinkangala, ngokuba akukho mntu uwubeka eziko (UYeremiya 12:20-22)
Abefundisi abaninzi, abajongene nemeko yokomoya yebandla kwaye befanele ukuba banyamekele amakholwa ngokuwondla ngenyaniso kaThixo nokuwaqeqesha nokuwalungisa., ukuze bahlale endleleni kaThixo yobulungisa baze bahambe ekuthandeni kwakhe, basilele.
Bakushiyile ukoyika uYehova, bakreqa ekunyaniseni uThixo, bayama kolwabo ukwazi, ubulumko, nokuqonda. Ngeengcamango zabo zenkululeko, ukuqonda, izimvo, neentanda-bulumko ziye zalahlekisa amakholwa amaninzi.
Endaweni yokunyamekela isidiliya sikaThixo, basitshabalalisile isidiliya sikaThixo, basiguqula saba yintlango, njengezidiliya zaseGomora.
Ngobabalo lukaThixo, ungangena ebukumkanini baKhe
Ngobabalo lukaThixo, ukuze ungene ebukumkanini bukaThixo, ngokholo kuYesu Kristu nangaye ukuzalwa ngokutsha kuye. Kodwa ubabalo lukaThixo ayisiyoncwadi yasimahla kwaye ayiniki mvume yokuphila njengesizukulwana somntu owileyo kwaye uhlale uphila esonweni.
Ngalo lonke ixesha uphila njenge isizukulwana somntu owileyo, njengexhego, ubomi bakho nezinto ozenzayo zibonisa ukuba akukho nto itshintshileyo kwaye awusindiswanga, kodwa ukuba usekwisizukulwana somntu owileyo.
Usenokuthi, nokuba uyakholwa, uzelwe ngokutsha, kodwa izenzo zakho, ngamanye amazwi, imisebenzi yakho, thetha kwaye ungqine enye into.
Kuba ukuba ngokwenene uzelwe ngokutsha kuYesu Kristu, emva koko uguquko lwenzekile kummandla womoya.
Awunguye. usengunyana womtyholi kwaye akasekho kubukumkani bobumnyama nakwisizukulwana sabantu abawileyo kwakhona. Kodwa uye waba ngunyana kaThixo kwaye uye waba wangena ebukumkanini bukaThixo kwaye ukwisizukulwana somntu omtsha. Njengonyana kaThixo, aniyi kuba sahamba njengonyana kaMtyholi.
Ekubeni uthatyathwe kumdiliya waseSodom wamiliselwa kuMdiliya wenyaniso; UYESU khristu, aniyi kuphinda nivelise isiqhamo senyama, ke nina niya kuthwala isiqhamo soMoya.
Ziziphi iziqhamo ebomini bomntu?
Xa umntu esithi ungumKristu aze atyelele ibandla, kodwa uhlala esenza imisebenzi yenyama kwaye uhlala ephila ngemvukelo nokungamthobeli uThixo, nokwenza ezo zinto, izinto ezilisikizi kuThixo, ke yena usengowesizukulwana sexhego, usaya kumiliselwa kumdiliya waseSodom.
Ngenxa yokuba loo mntu usamiliselwe kumdiliya waseSodom, ukufa kusalawula ebomini bomntu kwaye ke umntu uthwala isiqhamo sokufa, esisisono.
Umntu uqhubeka esenza ezo zinto, into ayithandayo uMtyholi, kodwa bangamasikizi kuThixo kwaye bayamchasa Intando yakhe.
Loo mntu usenokuba nobuhlobo yaye enobubele ebantwini, kwaye wenze imisebenzi yesisa, kodwa loo nto ayibonisi ukuba umntu ungumKristu.
Mhlawumbi iqinisekisa ihlabathi kunye namaKristu enyama, abangalifundiyo balifundisise iLizwi kwaye bengawasebenzisi amazwi kaThixo kubomi babo kwaye abangenalo ubudlelwane bamava noYesu Krestu., kodwa bakhokelwa lulwazi lwenyama nobulumko behlabathi nokuqonda kwabo, iimvakalelo, iimvakalelo, kunye neemvakalelo.
Kodwa amaKristu azelwe ngokutsha, abahamba emva koMoya ngokuthobela uThixo neLizwi lakhe, niyakwazi ukuthanda kukaThixo, nibacalula oomoya, kwaye ke ngoko abayi kuqhathwa.
Kuphela xa ujongene nokufa, olawula esenyameni kwayenibethelele inyama emnqamlezweni ngokuzalwa ngokutsha ngoYesu Kristu, akusengowokufa, akusengumkhonzi ekufeni. Aniyi kuphinda nikuthobele ukufa nize nithwale isiqhamo sokufa, esisisono. Ngokuba umoya wakho uvusiwe ekufeni, kwaye ubomi bukaThixo kwaye ubume bakhe buhlala kuwe. Ngoko ke, niya kuthwala isiqhamo sobulungisa.
Uya kuyamkela umthi ngeziqhamo zayo
Kuba akukho mthi mhle uvelisa isiqhamo esibi; kananjalo akukho mthi mbi uvelisa isiqhamo esihle. Kuba wonke umthi waziwa ngesiqhamo sawo. Kuba amakhiwane awawakhi emithaneni enameva;, abavuni iidiliya etyholweni. Umntu olungileyo, ebuncwaneni obulungileyo bentliziyo yakhe, uvelisa oko kulungileyo; nomntu okhohlakeleyo, ebuncwaneni obukhohlakeleyo bentliziyo yakhe, uvelisa oko kukhohlakeleyo: kuba umlomo wakhe uthetha ngokuphuphuma kwentliziyo (ULuka 6:43-45)
UYesu uthi, ukuba niwazi umthi ngeziqhamo zawo. Kwaye kusenjalo nangoku. IBhayibhile isityhilela inyaniso kaThixo kwaye ibhenca ubuxoki bukasathana. Ezo, abazelwe ngokutsha kuYesu Krestu kwaye bengabakhe baya kumkhonza Yena noBawo ngokuthobela.
Ngokuthobela igama, uya kuhamba uthando kwaye uthwale i isiqhamo soMoya.
Yakho Ukuthobela uThixo uyangqina ukuba wena thanda uYesu noYise ngaphezu kwako konke kwaye isiqhamo soMoya sibonakalisa ukuba ungowaKhe kwaye uhlala kuye.
Ngalo lonke ixesha umntu eqhubeka evukela uThixo kwaye eqhubeka esona kwaye uyavuma kwaye uvumela isono, umntu lowo usamiliselwe kumdiliya waseSodom.
Umphathi weli hlabathi, umtyholi, nguyise nenkosi yakhe. Ngoko ke uyamthobela ngokuhamba emva kwentando yakhe kunye nendalo yakhe, embangela ukuba athwale isiqhamo sokufa, esisisono.
Ngenxa yoko uThixo wabanika ukuba bafumane uthando olubi: kuba kwanamahlwempu abo batshintsha indawo yendalo yokusetyenziswa kwendalo: Kwangokunjalo nawo amadoda, Ukushiya ukusetyenziswa kwendalo komfazi, itshiswe kwinkanuko yabo omnye komnye; amadoda anamadoda asebenza ngokungafanelekanga, kwaye ifumane ngokwazo ukuba iphinde ibuyiselwe kwimpazamo yabo ehlangabezana nayo. Kwaye njengokuba bengathandi ukugcina uThixo ngolwazi lwabo, UThixo ubanike ingqondo etyhafileyo, ukwenza ezo zinto zingalunganga; Ukuzala yiyo yonke intswela-bulungisa, uhenyuzo, ubungendawo, ukubawa, ububi; igcwele umona, ukubulala, mpikiswano, inkohliso, ububi; I-whisperers, Abasemva, Abazithiyayo, ngaphandle, ndinekratshi, Iibhotshi, Abeneleli Izinto ezimbi, Ukungathobeli abazali, Ngaphandle kokuqonda, Abaqhekeziweyo, ngaphandle kothando lwendalo, ayinakho, novelele: Ngubani owazazisa umgwebo kaThixo, ukuba benze izinto ezinjalo kufanelekile ukufa, ayifani kuphela, Kodwa bonwabile abayenzileyo (AmaRoma 1:26-32)
Yeha ke, abantwana abaziinjubaqa!, utsho uYehova, abo bacebisana, kodwa hayi kum; nesigqubuthelo eso, kodwa ingeyiyo eyoMoya waM, ukuze bongeze isono kwisono: Ukuhamba ukuya ezantsi eYiputa, andibuzanga emlonyeni wam; ukuze bomeleze ngamandla kaFaro, nokukholosa ngomthunzi weYiputa! Ngoko ke liya kuthi igwiba likaFaro libe lidano kuni, nokukholosa ngomthunzi weYiputa kube lihlazo (uIsaya 30:1-3)
Ubulungisa bukaThixo
ISodom neGomora zikhankanywa izihlandlo ezininzi eBhayibhileni njengomzekelo wabo bangenabuthixo nokubonisa ubulungisa bukaThixo nomgwebo Wakhe. (Owu. 2 UPetros 2:6-10, Yude 1:4-7).
Xa ukoyika uThixo nokuzithoba kuThixo nokuba nolwalamano olunamava kunye naye kungasekho, bawushiyile abantu umendo wobulungisa, ngoko isono nobugwenxa buya kuba bulawule ebomini babantu, njengeSodom neGomora.
Lowo uyinyhukunyhuku makayeke, makahlale eyinyhukunyhuku, nalowo ungcwele, makahlale ngcwele
Lowo ungalungisiyo, makahlale engongendawo: nalowo ungcolileyo, makahlale engcolile: nalowo ulilungisa, makahlale elilungisa: nalowo ungcwele, makahlale ngcwele (ISityhilelo 22:11)
Siphila kwixesha, apho abantu abangamalungisa bahlala bengamalungisa, kwaye ke ngoko abo, abangcwele baya kuhlala bengcwele, kwaye apho abantu, abangalunganga baya kuba ngabangenabulungisa kwaye ngoko ke abo, abangcolileyo, uya kuba engcolile.
Ikratshi, ukuzingca, imvukelo, ukungathobeli, ukunganyaniseki, ukungasebenzi kakuhle, I-Lascivied, intiyo, umahluko, ukufuya, ingqumbo, Imbambano, ukumiselwa, i-heredies, umona, Unxibelelwano olungcolileyo, ukunyelisa, ukuxoka, ukunxila, impindezelo, unqulo-zithixo, ubugqwirha, uhenyuzo, ukukrexeza, ukungcola kwesondo, ubundlobongela, ukubulala, njl. aphuphume kwaye alawule kubomi babantu abaninzi.
Into ebikade ingacingelwanga sele iqhelekile. Nangona kunjalo, yonke le misebenzi yenyama nobu bugwenxa sele yenzekile kwiTestamente eNdala neNtsha. Kuzo zombini iTestamente eNdala kunye neNtsha, uThixo, UYesu, kwaye uMoya oyiNgcwele usazisile intando kaThixo mayela nale misebenzi yenyama nokungcola.
UThixo unguThixo ocacileyo noselubala noBawo. Akazange afihle nantoni na kwaye akazange agcine naziphi na iimfihlo, kodwa uThixo watyhila yonke into, ukuze abantu bazi, NgeLizwi lakhe.
Loo makholwa, abangalifundiyo nabangalifundiyo iLizwi laKhe abamazi. Abaqhelananga nentando yakhe, Yakhe iingcinga kunye neYakhe iindlela.
Abekho ndaluswe kuYesu Kristu, nge ukubeka phantsi inyama, ngenxa yoko abamiliselwa kuye, kodwa basamiliselwe emdiliyeni waseSodom, bahlala emasimini aseGomora.
Abayenzi into ethethwa liLizwi, kodwa bahamba ngendlela yabo, kanye njengabantu baseSodom naseGomora, ngoko ke umvuzo wabo uya kufana.
‘Yibani yityuwa yehlabathi’
