KwabaseRoma 7:14-26, UPawulu wabhalela abangcwele eRoma ngempi nobuthakathaka bendoda endala. Indoda endala yinyama yabuswa yisono sakhe futhi iyisigqila sesono nokufa. Indoda endala ihamba ngemuva kwenyama, okusho ukuthi ukuholwa ngezinzwa zakhe, ingqondo yenyama, imizwelo, imizwa njll. Inyama enesono ibusa phezu kwendoda endala futhi inquma ukukhuluma nezenzo zakhe (isebenza). Ngakho-ke indoda endala ayikwazi ukujabulisa uNkulunkulu. Indoda endala ayikwazi ukuthela izithelo ngoNkulunkulu, Ngoba konke okwenziwa yinyama konakele; kuthintwe ububi (Isono Imvelo). Indoda endala ihamba emva kwentando yenyama esonweni futhi ithela izithelo ngokufa.
Lithini iBhayibheli ngempi nobuthakathaka bendoda endala?
UPawulu uchaza impi nobuthakathaka bendoda endala, Ngubani owenyama. Nokho, UPowula akagcini nje ngokuchaza impi nobuthakathaka bendoda endala, Ngubani oyisigqila sesono nesiboshwa senyama enesono. Kepha uPawulu uchaza nokuthi ungahlengelwa kanjani kule nyama enesono, ohlala elwela umoya kanye nezinto zoMbuso kaNkulunkulu.
KwabaseRoma 7:14-26, UPowula akazange abhale ngempi nobuthakathaka bendoda entsha (indalo entsha), Ngubani owazalwa emoyeni. Kepha uPawulu wabhala ngempi nobuthakathaka be ikhehla (indalo endala), Ngubani owazalwa enyameni.
UPawulu wayengumFarisi. Ngakho-ke, UPawulu wayenolwazi oluningi lwekhanda leZwi likaNkulunkulu. Wakhonza uNkulunkulu emthethweni kaMose.
UPawulu wayazi incwadi, Kepha uPawulu wayengalazi igama eliphilayo; UJesu Kristu.
Waze wazembula uPaul, Ngubani owashushisa uJesu.
Usakhemvamela waphenduka, Futhi uJesu Kristu waba ngumsindisi wakhe, futhi wenza uJesu empilweni yakhe.
Indoda endala uSawuli yafa kuKristu, Futhi indoda entsha uPawulu yavuka kwabafileyo kuKristu.
Akukho ndawo eBhayibhelini uPawulu, Noma uJesu nabanye abaphostoli, usho ukuthi umthetho awulungile. Ngokuphambene nalokho, UPawulu wathi umthetho ungcwele, Futhi imiyalo kaNkulunkulu ingcwele, olungileyo, futhi kuhle. (Oh. AmaRoma 7:12).
Ukuphela kwento yokuthi indlela yokuthola ulungile futhi indlela yokusindisa ayisasebenzi ngomthetho, Kepha ngoKristu. Awungeke usindiswe futhi wenziwe ulungile ngokugcina umthetho.
Umthetho Ungokomoya
Ungasindiswa kuphela ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu, INdodana kaNkulunkulu futhi ukuvuselelwa KuKristu futhi uphile ngentando yakhe. NgoJesu Kristu kanye nokuvuselelwa kabusha kuYe, Manje kukuwe ukuthi uhlale kuye.
UMthetho wanikezwa uNkulunkulu kubantu bakhe benyama. Nokho, Umnyombo womthetho ungokomoya. Inqobo nje uma abantu behlala bengokoqobo, Ngeke bakwazi ukuqonda umongo womthetho. Makuyeke Sungula umthetho.
Indoda entsha kuphela, ozelwe ngamanzi langoMoya, uyakwazi ukuqonda izinto zikaNkulunkulu futhi uhambe ngemuva komoya. Ngokuhamba ngemuva komoya ngokomthetho womoya wokuphila, Indoda entsha ibeka umthetho.
Le ndoda entsha ngeke icubungule imiyalo kaNkulunkulu okungokomthetho kanye nesethi yemithetho yenkolo yakudala. Kepha le ndoda entsha ibheka imiyalo kaNkulunkulu njengemiyalo yothando evela kuYise, Lokho kukhiqiza impilo nokuthula. (Funda futhi: ‘UZimu wanikela ngezwi lakhe ngenxa yothando’)
Manje, Ake sibheke amaRoma 7:14-26 futhi 8:1-4*.
“Ngenza into engiyizondayo”
Ngoba siyazi ukuthi umthetho ungokomoya: Kepha ngingumzimba (Kuphethwe yisimo sesono), Kuthengiswe Ngaphansi Kwesono (Isono Imvelo). Ngalokho engikwenzayo angikuvumeli: ngalokho engingathanda, Lokho angikwenzi; Kepha engikuzondayo, engikwenzayo.
Uma-ke ngenza lokho ebengingeke ngikwenze, Ngiyavuma emthethweni ukuthi kuhle. Manje-ke akusekho mina esikwenzayo, kepha isono (Isimo Esinesono) lokho kuhlala kimi.
Ngoba ngiyakwazi lokho kimi (leyo, Enyameni yami) Hlalani Nokuhle: Ngoba ukwenza ukuthi ikhona kimi; Kepha ukwenza lokho okuhle engikuthola (Ngoba ubusa obuningi bemvelo futhi inquma inkulumo nezenzo zomuntu. Indoda yemvelo yemvelo ifakwa enyameni).
Kokuhle engingangikwenzanga: kepha okubi ebengingathandanga, engikwenzayo.
Manje uma ngenza lokho ngeke, Akusekho mina esikwenzayo, kepha isono (Isimo Esinesono) lokho kuhlala kimi.
Ngithola lowo mthetho, lokho, lapho ngenza okuhle, Ububi bukhona nami. Ngoba ngiyakujabulela umthetho kaNkulunkulu (Umthetho wokulunga nokuphila) emva kwendoda engaphakathi: Kepha ngibona omunye umthetho (Umthetho wesono nokufa) Kumalungu ami, Ukulwa nomthetho wengqondo yami (Umthetho wokulunga nokuphila), futhi ungithumbiswe emthethweni wesono osekumalungu ami.
O indoda edabukisayo engiyiyo! Ngubani ongangikhulula emzimbeni walokhu kufa?
Ukusindiswa kwendoda endala, Ngubani oyisigqila sesono nokufa
Ngibonga uNkulunkulu ngoJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu. Ngakho-ke ngengqondo, Mina ngikhonza umthetho kaNkulunkulu (Umthetho wokulunga nokuphila); Kepha ngenyama umthetho wesono.
Ngakho-ke akusekho ukulahlwa kwabakuKristu Jesu, abangahambi ngokwenyama, Kepha emva komoya. Ngoba umthetho woMoya wokuphila kuKristu Jesu ungikhululile emthethweni wesono nokufa.
Ngoba lokho umthetho owawungakwazi ukukwenza, ngoba lalibuthakathaka ngenyama (Isimo Esinesono, Ukubusa kwakhe endodeni endala yenyama), UNkulunkulu wathumela iNdodana yakhe uqobo ngokufana nenyama enesono, langesono, walahla isono enyameni: Ukuze ukulunga komthetho kugcwaliseke kithi, abangahambi ngokwenyama (Iholwa yisimo sesono), kodwa ngoMoya (Iholwa nguMoya oNgcwele (AmaRoma 7:14-8:4)).
Indoda entsha ihanjiswa esonweni nasekufeni futhi ihamba ngokulunga
Lapho usuzalwa ngokusha, Ulethwa esimweni sakho sesono. Lokho kungenxa yokuthi inyama yakho ife kuKristu, Futhi umoya wakho uvukile kwabafileyo.
Uma nje uhlala kuKristu bese uhamba emva komoya, uzophila ngenkululeko kaKristu.
Kepha uma uvumela isono empilweni yakho futhi Phikelela Esonweni, futhi uholwa yisono esihlala enyameni yakho, UDeveli nomthetho wakhe; umthetho wesono nokufa, khumbula impilo yakho, Uyakuthola impi nobuthakathaka benyama.
