UThixo uyabachasa abanekratshi, abababale abazithobileyo
Kungoko athi, UThixo uyabachasa abanekratshi, ke ubabala abathobekileyo. Mthobeleni ngoko uThixo. Mchaseni umtyholi, wonibaleka ke. (UJames 4:6-7)
UThixo uya kubabala abo, abamphulaphulayo baze benze oko athi mabakwenze baze bazinikele kuYe nakwiLizwi laKhe. Ithetha ukuba, ukuba ezo, abaphila ngokwentando kaThixo bayakhululwa kwaye basindiswe kwaye bafumane ubomi obungunaphakade. Abayi kuhamba emva kwentando kamtyholi kunye nesono, kodwa zichaseni izilingo zoMtyholi, ngokuhamba emva kokuthanda kukaThixo. Kodwa kufuneka ube uzelwe ngokutsha Ekuqaleni.
Ngenxa yokuba isimilo sikasathana, kuquka nekratshi, ukho esenyameni, kwaye ke ngoko i inyama kufuneka ife kuqala, ngaphambi kokuba umoya uvuswe kwabafileyo aze umntu ahambe ngokuthobeka emva kokuthanda kukaThixo
Inyama inemvukelo kwaye imelana nayo yonke into, oko kubhalwe eBhayibhileni. Inyama ayifuni ukuzinikela kuThixo nakwintando yakhe neLizwi lakhe, kwaye ke ngoko akunakwenzeka ukuba uhlale usenyameni kwaye uphile ngokwenyama, nokwenza ukuthanda kukaThixo nokumkholisa (AmaRoma 8:5-8).
Ngokuba ikholwa lenyama, ohamba ngokwenyama ukhokelwa yinyama kwaye uhamba emva kwentando yenyama kunye nengqondo yenyama, kwaye ke ulandela ntoni (s)uyafuna, uyabona, iimvakalelo kunye nenyama iyalela ukwenza.
Ngoko ke, wonke umntu, Ohamba ngokwenyama unekratshi. Ngokuba abo, abangabenyama nabakhokelwa yinyama yabo bakhokelwa yintando yabo, iimvakalelo, iimvakalelo, iimbono, uluvo, kunye neziphumo kwaye bathembele kwiimvakalelo zabo, isakhono, ingqondo yenyama, ubulumko, kunye nolwazi kwaye ungazithobi kwiLizwi, ekubeni iLizwi lichasene nentando yabo, iimvakalelo, iimvakalelo, izimvo, ingqondo yenyama, ubulumko, nolwazi.
UmKristu, ohamba ngokwenyama uziphakamisa ngaphezu koThixo ngokuba (s)ucinga ukuba (s)uyazi yonke into ngcono kwaye unokuyenza yonke ngcono, kwaye ke ngoko uyala ngamazwi akhe nangemisebenzi yakhe, Thixo neLizwi lakhe.
Kunjalo ngoba, maninzi amakholwa ahlala ehlala isono bahlale bevukela, bangavumi ukuzithoba kuThixo, bazisuse izono zabo, ngokuba bathanda inyama yabo ngaphezu koThixo. Abalikhathalelanga iLizwi kwaye abazimisele ukuyekelela ekuthandeni kukaThixo kwaye ngenxa yoko abaninzi bakhukhumele kwiingqondo zabo zenyama kwaye bahamba ngekratshi kwaye baziphakamise ngaphezu koThixo nobulumko bakhe..
Ikratshi likasathana lakhokelela ekuweni kwakhe kwaye ke ngoko ikratshi, ekhoyo ebomini boonyana bakhe; i aboni, abangabesizukulwana esiwileyo, kuya kukhokelela ekuweni kwabo, oko kukuthi, ukufa kwesibini. Ngenxa yokuba baye bamgatya uThixo nentando yakhe neLizwi lakhe, kwaye endaweni yoko balandela kwaye bambeka uyise wabo umtyholi kulo mhlaba, ngokuphila emva intando yakhe ezonweni, ke ngoko kanjalo baya kwaliwa nguThixo baze bafumane umvuzo ofanayo nokayise.
