Ku 1 UPetru 3:21, sifunda ukuthi ubhapathizo luyimpendulo kanembeza omuhle kuNkulunkulu, ngokuvuka kukaJesu Kristu. Kusho ukuthini lokhu? Kungani ubhapathizo luyimpendulo kanembeza omuhle kuNkulunkulu?
Amanzi ahlukanisa abalungileyo nabangalungile
Ezinsukwini zikaNowa, amanzi aletha ukwahlukana phakathi kwabangalungile (UNOGODLY, abangakholwayo, Abezizwe) nabalungileyo (amakholwa, abangcwele). Abalungileyo babemesaba uNkulunkulu (enokwesaba okukhulu) futhi bathanda uNkulunkulu ngakho-ke bakholwa uNkulunkulu futhi balalela amazwi nemiyalelo Yakhe. Nokho, abangalungile babengamesabi futhi bamthanda uNkulunkulu ngakho-ke abazange bakholwe amazwi nemiyalo Yakhe kodwa bawenqaba..
Ngokuba noKristu wahlupheka kwaba kanye ngenxa yezono, abalungile kwabangalungile, ukuze asiyise kuNkulunkulu, ebulawa enyameni, kodwa waphiliswa ngoMoya: Ngalokho wahamba washumayela imimoya etilongweni; Okwathi ngesinye isikhathi babengalaleli, lapho ukubekezela kukaNkulunkulu kwakulindile ezinsukwini zikaNowa, ngenkathi umkhumbi usalungiswa, lapho abambalwa, leyo, imiphefumulo eyisishiyagalombili yasindiswa ngamanzi (1 UPetru 3:18-20)
Abantu emhlabeni abazange bamamukele uNkulunkulu ngalokho ayikho futhi bengafuni ukumlalela, ingasaphathwa eyokulalela amazwi Akhe. Babezidla futhi bahamba ngendlela yabo futhi benza okubi.
Ngenxa yokungalaleli kwabo uNkulunkulu, kwasindiswa imiphefumulo eyisishiyagalombili kuphela ekulahlweni.
Le miphefumulo eyisishiyagalombili kwakunguNowa, umkakhe, amadodana amathathu, nomalokazana.
UNowa wayengumuntu oyedwa futhi ephelele ezizukulwaneni zakhe, ohambe noNkulunkulu.
UNowa akazange athembele kulokho ayekubona futhi akazange athembele ekuqondeni kwakhe siqu nasemazwini abantu, ababekhohlakele, kodwa uNowa wayethembele eNkosini ngakho-ke uNowa wawakholwa amazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi walalela imiyalo Yakhe, uNowa wahamba ngakho ngokukholwa.
UNkulunkulu watshela uNowa, ukuthi alethe uzamcolo wamanzi emhlabeni ukubhubhisa yonke inyama, lapho kukhona umoya wokuphila. Nokho, UNkulunkulu wenza isivumelwano sakhe noNowa futhi wamsindisa yena nomndeni wakhe nezilwane ngomkhumbi, okwakufanele azakhe uNowa, ngoba uNkulunkulu wathi uNowa ulungile.
Ukholo lukaNowa kuNkulunkulu nokulalela amazwi Akhe kwasindisa yena nomndeni wakhe
UNowa wamkholwa uNkulunkulu kanye nezwi lakhe futhi walalela amazwi nemiyalo kaNkulunkulu. Ngenxa yokukholwa kwakhe kuNkulunkulu nokulalela uNkulunkulu, UNowa wakha umkhumbi.
Lapho umkhumbi usuphelile futhi kwafika isikhathi nemithombo yotwa olukhulu yabhodlozwa, amafasitele ezulu avuleka, UNowa wangena emkhunjini nomndeni wakhe kanye nezilwane futhi uNkulunkulu wavala umnyango.
Ngemva kwezinsuku eziyisikhombisa, lana emhlabeni izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane. Amanzi ahlukanisa abalungileyo, ababesemkhunjini, kwabangalungile.
Abangalungile bafela emanzini. Nokho, abalungileyo, abakholwa nguNkulunkulu futhi balalela amazwi Akhe, babesemkhunjini futhi basindiswa.
Ubhapathizo lusindisa ngokuvuka kukaJesu Kristu
Ubhapathizo lufana nozamcolo, okwafa ngakho abangamhloniphiyo uNkulunkulu, nabalungileyo basindiswa ngenxa kanembeza omuhle kaNowa kuNkulunkulu.
Umfanekiso ofana nawo umbhapathizo osusisindisa ngawo manje (hhayi ukususa ukungcola kwenyama, kodwa impendulo kanembeza omuhle kuNkulunkulu,) ngokuvuka kukaJesu Kristu: Oye ezulwini, futhi ungakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu; izingelosi, namandla, namandla, kuthotshiswe phansi kwakhe (1 UPetru 3:21)
UJesu wathi, ukuthi wonke okholwayo abhaphathizwe uyakusindiswa. Lokhu kuyisithembiso nomyalo kaJesu. Ngoba uma ukholwa kuKristu, uzolalela uJesu Kristu futhi ubhapathizwe.
Ngokukholwa Kuye kanye nokulalela kwakho umyalo Wakhe, uzakuba lonembeza omuhle kuNkulunkulu njalo usindiswe.
Amanzi awagcini nje ngokuhlanza futhi ahlanze, kodwa amanzi aletha ukwehlukana. Njengamanzi kazamcolo aletha ukwehlukana ezinsukwini zikaNowa phakathi kwabalungileyo nabangalungile.
Anazi nina, ukuthi sonke esabhabhathizelwa kuKristu Jesu, sabhabhathizelwa ekufeni kwakhe? Ngakho-ke sembelwa kanye naye ngokubhapathizelwa ekufeni: ukuthi njengalokhu uKristu wavuswa kwabafileyo ngenkazimulo kaYise, kanjalo nathi kufanele sihambe ekuphileni okusha (AmaRoma 6:3-4)
Embhapathizweni, ikhehla (inyama) uyafa angcwatshwe, njengoJesu, Oweza enyameni wathwala izono zomhlaba, futhi wafa esiphambanweni futhi wembelwa. Bese kuba umuntu omusha (umoya) liyaphakama, njengoba nje uJesu wavuka kwabafileyo. (Funda futhi: ‘Ingabe uJesu wayengumuntu ngokuphelele?‘ futhi ‘Ukubethelwa kwenyama‘).
Unembeza omuhle kuNkulunkulu
UBaba wayeyithanda iNdodana Yakhe, UJesu Kristu, ngoba uJesu walalela intando nemiyalo kaYise futhi wadela ukuphila Kwakhe futhi wakuthatha futhi. UBaba wayenike uJesu umyalo namandla, kodwa kwakukuJesu ukulalela umyalo waKhe (UJohane 10).
UJesu akaphoqwanga, kodwa wadela ukuphila Kwakhe (Inyama yakhe) ngokukhululeka. Wafa esiphambanweni futhi wasithatha futhi lapho uJesu evuka kwabafileyo futhi enyukela ezulwini, lapho ehlezi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu, kuyilapho izingelosi, amandla nemibuso kuthotshiswe phansi Kwakhe. (Funda futhi: ‘Wayesho ukuthini uJesu ngegunya lokubeka phansi impilo yakhe abuye athathe?).
Wonke umuntu, okholwayo abhaphathizwe uthobela umyalo kaNkulunkulu wokudela ukuphila kwakhe ngesihle abuye akuthathe futhi azibonakalise ngokubhapathizwa ngokufa nokuvuka kukaJesu Kristu..
Ubhapathizo lunjani unembeza omuhle kuNkulunkulu?
Umuntu akanawo unembeza omuhle kuNkulunkulu futhi akami kahle phambi kukaNkulunkulu ngokufa kwenyama embhapathizweni.. Ngesikhathi sokubhabhadiswa, inyama iyafa, indoda endala ingcwatshwe, kodwa umuntu akasindiswanga ngalokho. Kodwa umuntu usindiswa emanzini, Ngovuko lukaMoya kwabafileyo, lapho umuntu ebuyisana noNkulunkulu futhi esesimweni esihle noNkulunkulu.
Ngakho-ke ubhapathizo luyimpendulo kanembeza omuhle kuNkulunkulu, ngokulalela umyalo kaJesu kanye nokuhlotshaniswa nokuvuka Kwakhe kwabafileyo ngokuvuka komoya kwabafileyo..
Abantu bayosindiswa ngokholo nangobhapathizo
UJesu wathi, ukuthi ngokholo nangombhapathizo umuntu uyakusindiswa. Kuphela ngokukholwa nokuzalwa kabusha kuKristu, umuntu uyakusindiswa. Ngoba umuntu, ongakholwa ngakho-ke ongabhapathiziwe futhi azalwe kabusha kuKristu, kodwa omoya wakhe ufile futhi uphila ngaphansi kokubusa kokufa ebumnyameni futhi uboshelwe yinyama esonweni nasekufeni., uzolahlwa.
Futhi Yena (uJesu) wathi kubo, Hambani niye kuwo wonke umhlaba, futhi nishumayele ivangeli kukho konke okudaliweyo. okholwayo abhapathizwe uyakusindiswa; kepha ongakholwayo ngeke kulahlwe (Maka 16:15-16)
Kodwa ngokholo nangamanzi obhapathizo, umuntu omdala uyafa kuvuka umuntu omusha kwabafileyo. Kusukela kuleso sikhundla esisha kuKristu kanye nokubhapathizwa ngoMoya oNgcwele, indoda, Ngubani osephenduke indalo entsha, bayophila kunembeza omuhle kuNkulunkulu ngokulalela ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu futhi babe ngufakazi kaJesu Kristu emhlabeni.
Ukuba nonembeza omuhle kuNkulunkulu ngokumlalela
Futhi uPawulu, ebuka umkhandlu, wathi, Madoda nabazalwane, Ngiphile ngonembeza omuhle phambi kukaNkulunkulu kuze kube namuhla (IzEnzo 23:1)
Lomthetho ngiwubeka kuwe, indodana uThimothewu, ngokweziprofetho ezandulelayo phezu kwakho, ukuze ngazo ulwe impi enhle; Ukubamba Ukholo, nonembeza omuhle; Okunye okusukile mayelana nokholo kwenziwe ukwaphukelwa komkhumbi (1 UThimothewu 1:18-19)
Uma uzelwe kabusha futhi uMoya oNgcwele uhlala kuwe, ngeke usaphila ngaphansi kwecala nokulahlwa futhi uzizwe usolwa njalo futhi wesaba ukusondela kuNkulunkulu futhi uphile ngokuhlukene noNkulunkulu. Uma uzizwa ngale ndlela, mhlawumbe kufanele uzibuze ukuthi ingabe uzelwe kabusha ngempela futhi unoMoya oNgcwele ohlezi kuwe.
Ngoba iZwi lisho, ukuthi uma nikholwa nibhapathizwa, usindisiwe. Ngakho-ke ubhapathizo luyimpendulo kanembeza omuhle kuNkulunkulu.
Ngoba bonke abaholwa nguMoya kaNkulunkulu, bangamadodana kaNkulunkulu
Ngoba bonke abaholwa nguMoya kaNkulunkulu, bangamadodana kaNkulunkulu. Ngokuba anamukeliswanga umoya wobugqila ukuba nibuye nesabe; kodwa namukele uMoya wobuntwana, esikhala ngakho, Aba, Uyihlo. UMoya uqobo ufakaza kanye nomoya wethu, ukuthi singabantwana bakaNkulunkulu: Futhi uma izingane, bese kuba yizindlalifa; izindlalifa zikaNkulunkulu, nezindlalifa kanye noKristu; uma kunjalo sihlupheka kanye naye, ukuze nathi sikhazinyuliswe kanyekanye (AmaRoma 8:14-17)
Uma uzelwe kabusha futhi uMoya oNgcwele uhlala kuwe, uMoya oNgcwele ufakaza ngomoya wakho ukuthi uyindodana kaNkulunkulu (lokhu kusebenza kokubili abesilisa nabesifazane) nokuthi ungowaKhe.
Ngeke usamazi ngabanye, kodwa niyomazi mathupha, ngoJesu Kristu noMoya oNgcwele, futhi nimbize ngokuthi Abba Baba.
Uzomlalela futhi ugcine amazwi Akhe futhi ulalele imiyalo Yakhe, ngalokho uyakuba nonembeza omuhle kuNkulunkulu futhi umbonise ukuthi uyamthanda.
Funda futhi: ‘Kuyini ubhapathizo' kanye 'Ingabe ukubhapathizwa kwezinsana kuyefana nokubhapathizwa kwabantu abadala?').
‘Yibani usawoti womhlaba’
